We’ve ended our partnership with Prop Firm Match, effective immediately, following concerns about affiliate-tracking practices. 10+ years in, our standard hasn’t moved: trust, integrity, honest marketing. We hold partners to it, and we hold ourselves to it first.

Vest will be topping off the $100K trading competition with the $50K in commissions that were removed from PropFirmMatch due to cookie stuffing. $20K will be paid out to one random $25K funded account holder. $30K will be paid out to one random $50K funded account holder. Accounts in evaluation are not eligible to win the randomly drawn $20K or $30K prize, and the account must also be in funded (not failed or closed) status. All accounts purchased in the month of November are automatically entered for the random drawing. Best of luck!
Vest Capital's first trading competition is here! $100K in prizes. One winner per division. → $75K prize for the top Emerald ($50K) account → $25K prize for the top Platinum ($25K) account Nov 1 to Nov 30 at 5 p.m. ET. Ranked by net realized PnL. Every $25K and $50K account bought from Nov 1 is entered automatically, custom builds included. Run as many as you want. Prizes paid in USDC. Starts Sunday. Rules below ↓

An update for our community: Traders Launch ended its affiliate partnership with Prop Firm Match yesterday. We appreciate the support from their community over the years, but with this current situation ongoing we chose to end the partnership. Hearing some other firms paid to be on their leaderboards was a surprise to us, as we were lucky enough to rise to the top 10 organically. Transparency is essential, and we'll be doing an audit of all affiliates and comparison websites that currently have us listed.

FXIFY has ended its affiliate partnership with Prop Firm Match, effective immediately, and all associated links and codes have been disabled. This follows a review of how sales were being attributed. Our affiliate programme rests on one principle: commission goes to the partner who genuinely introduced the trader. Most traders don't find a firm in one click. They might discover us through a creator's video, an educator's community or a comparison site that helps them weigh up their options. Every one of those partners plays a valuable role. But if any step in that journey takes credit it didn't earn, the partner who should receive the commission loses it, often without ever knowing. That isn't fair to the people who do the work, and it isn't how we operate. The creators, educators, communities and comparison platforms who operate transparently are the partners who build this industry and earn traders' trust. When attribution is taken away from them, honest partners are discouraged and traders lose confidence in the information guiding their decisions. We believe the prop trading industry should hold itself to a higher standard, and that starts with each firm being clear about what it will and won't accept. We hold every partner, large or small, to the same terms, and we will continue to do so.

We’ve decided to part ways with @PropFirmMatch. After looking closely at how referrals to our site were being generated, we found they broke our affiliate terms, so we’re stepping away. This also means @PropFirmMatch will no longer sponsor the Premier Trading League @JoinPTL. It’s a shame the relationship had to end this way. The affiliate space needs leaders to keep it fair for traders. We’ll be looking closely at all of our affiliates going forward.

Effective immediately, @BrightFunded is ending its affiliate partnership with @PropFirmMatch. We saw this come in this morning and ran our own investigation as well. Affiliates put in the work: the content, the community, the trust. They deserve to be paid for every trader they send, not see that credit end up somewhere else. Big shoutout to my friend @traderkane for digging into this and bringing it to light. He keeps standing up for the people who build this industry, and we’re with him on this one. Btw, Kane, Isn’t it supposed to work the other way around right before your birthday? We should be giving you a present.

We’re taking the recent allegations surrounding PropFirmMatch’s affiliate tracking seriously. Effective immediately, we’re disabling our affiliate code while we conduct our own investigation. Fair attribution and transparency matter. We’d rather pause a partnership and investigate than compromise those standards.

Finotive has terminated its affiliate relationship with #PropFirmMatch, effective immediately. All associated affiliate codes have been disabled. For months, we have challenged how Finotive is ranked and represented on their platform. #PFM’s own analytics team confirmed that a negative ranking penalty affected #Finotive and acknowledged shortcomings in its scoring methodology. We subsequently received contradictory explanations about whether that penalty was affecting our position. The latest public allegations of cookie stuffing, alongside PFM’s confirmation that it has suspended the disputed referral-link functionality pending investigation, have further undermined our confidence. A platform that holds others accountable must meet those same standards itself. Our own documented experience has left us without the trust required to continue this relationship.

In light of the recent news, I have decided to unaffiliate with @PropFirmMatch. This decision remains personal regardless of any allegations currently being made. I personally have enjoyed my time with them and I also think it's time for me to try something new. Thanks to everyone who supported me during my time with them! 🔥

Following our team's investigation, we will be taking the following actions effective immediately. PropFirmMatch's code will be disabled due to confirmation of cookie stuffing. Under normal circumstances, earned commissions at Vest are always paid. In the case of PFM, their commissions undeniably include siphoning commissions from others, which impacts other good actor affiliates. Since it is impossible to determine the extent to which other affiliates were affected, their commissions will be distributed to the community as an additional prize pool for our upcoming November trading competition. We appreciate the community's patience as our team determined the best course of action with the accrued commissions.
Vest is aware of the cookie stuffing discussions. Our team is in contact with PFM and we are in the process of our own investigation. Our understanding is a statement will be issued from their team soon and we will enforce / respond as necessary.

Blue Guardian has ended its relationship with Prop Firm Match, effective immediately. All associated affiliate links and tracking codes have been deactivated. Our affiliate relationships must reflect the standards we expect across our business: transparency, accurate representation, and responsible marketing. We expect every partner to uphold these principles and support traders in making informed decisions. Where a partnership no longer aligns with those expectations, we will take appropriate action. Our focus remains on serving our trading community, maintaining trust, and protecting the integrity of the Blue Guardian affiliate programme.

Effective immediately @PropFirmMatch affiliate partnership is terminated. All their commissions for the month are forfeited, and financial claims are going to be pursued. We have caught the cookies practices in August, took actions on it and Our rank dropped from Nr. 1 best seller to Nr.10. Plus being told that traders picking us over other firms costs them money, which I understand since their commission is same as any other affiliate. Since the beginning we have supported them, tech, expertise and features, yet that business grew into something I personally don’t believe in. Adios 👊🏽
