I have just passed the evaluation of a 200K account with BrightFunded and my experience so far has been very good.
The rules are published clearly and they are reasonable for an experienced trader: from day one you know exactly what you can and cannot do. During the whole evaluation BrightFunded applied those rules and nothing else. When I passed, there were no last-minute objections, no new conditions and no reinterpretation of the rules. Lately that is hard to find at other prop firms.
I have not requested a payout yet, so I can only speak about the evaluation stage, and I will update this review when I do. So far: clear rules, respected by the firm. I recommend it to traders who read the rules and trade within them.

BrightFunded used to be decent, but they’ve gone downhill fast. They reduced my daily loss limit to 1%. I adapted, followed the rule strictly, and kept trading profitably. Despite zero rule breaches, they suspended both of my $200k funded accounts ($400k total) claiming my trading "poses excessive risk to their capital."
Terminating profitable traders who follow every dashboard rule is unacceptable. As other recent reviews show, this isn't an isolated incident. Stay away.

After passing evaluation, they changed the rules and restricted me to 1% per trade per day. My maximum daily loss was lowered to 1% instead of the daily 5% making it hard to make any reasonable trades. This is misleading advertisement. How do you limit someone to 1% daily instead of be 5% you advertised. I do not recommend them.

Never trust bright funded they never let u payout even if u pass d evall ND done everything 💔

I waited through the one-month payout cycle and then submitted my payout request. Although my identity verification had already been completed and approved, I was faced with an additional review and interview at the payout stage, including a requirement to present my identification again. On top of that, the earliest available interview appointment was at least one week after my payout request.
When I purchased the account and started trading, I was not clearly informed about this additional interview process or the waiting time it would involve. Having this requirement suddenly appear once I became successful and requested my earnings seriously undermines my trust in the firm. Buying an account is straightforward; when it comes to getting paid, additional requirements and waiting periods appear.
I am willing to complete the necessary checks and attend the interview. However, after already waiting through a one-month payout cycle, I find it unacceptable to face further delays because of the firm’s appointment availability.
In my view, if the firm were acting in good faith regarding payouts, it would process my payment, restore access to my account, and arrange any interview it considers necessary separately. Instead, I am experiencing the exact opposite: my payout is on hold, my account remains locked, and I have to wait days for an interview. This makes it difficult for me to believe that the process is merely a routine check and strengthens my impression that it is being used to delay payment.
The process has not yet been concluded. I will follow developments closely and update this review with the outcome of the interview, whether the payout is made, and the total waiting time.
