Embarrassing how far this firm has fallen. Used to seem reliable but now it's clear that that they're out to fleece traders with their excessive fees, whilst not delivering a professional and realistic service. Never ever trust a firm that fails the transparency test and never trust a firm that uses excuses instead of genuine reasons for repeated trading platform anomalies, as this firm has now done repeatedly. Despite showing the incompetent customer service staff just how terrible their service is compared to other firms using the same trading platform, you just get met with patronising remarks. This lot have no regard for the customer, just for filling their pockets with fees from unfairly failed prop challenges. I am now certain that their behaviour is deliberate and not as a result of issues out of their control.

hello guys, any trusted payouts from 1k free challenge on brightfunded? actually im making thousands but im afraid at the end of this they telling me that i cant withdraw them or get breached suddenly like other guys mentionned in their reviews. so if any approved payouts above 500$ from the 1k free challenge can u guys tell us please. thankyou

Smooth process from start to finish. Finished the week in profit, requested my payout, was emailed the following morning to advise the payment details were incorrect. The issue was resolved within a matter of hours thanks to Pius in customer support.

These guys are the worst. Imagine blowing a $50k funded account at a balance of $49705 saying that their daily loss limit doesn't reset. So here is an easy maths first day close account balance was $48886 then I opened a trade the next day and it's was running at $970 then I added another trade that went to $95 drawdown then boom everything was closed saying that I breached the daily loss limit. Their explanation is that only the max drawdown is static but the daily is not and doesn't reset. I am really disappointed coz even none of their rules says this. Tell me who blows a $50k account at $49700? My recommendation will always be fundednext. I even regret that one star I have given them

I joined BrightFunded in October 2025, purchased 4 challenges worth $1,810 (€1,584), and received $23,044 in payouts. Unfortunately, what followed has been months of repeated account terminations, accusations, and endless emails.
February: The first restrictions
After passing my evaluation, I was placed under a 1% daily risk limit with leverage reduced to 1:5. My trading history showed mostly 1-2% risk per trade and margin usage generally around 10-15%.
After I raised the issue publicly, CEO Jelle personally reviewed my case, acknowledged that the Risk Department had made a mistake, and eventually removed the restrictions. However, I was required to remove my reviews first.
May: Apparently, I'm a malicious trader now.
After generating approximately 20% profit on my funded account and passing another evaluation using the same strategy, BrightFunded suddenly terminated both accounts, accusing me of malicious trading, overexposure, account rolling, and organised group hedging.
I repeatedly asked for trade-specific evidence. They refused.
After weeks of emails, Jelle agreed to investigate again, but only after I removed ALL my public reviews. Following the investigation, they agreed to reinstate my accounts under a 1% daily risk limit.
Only one account was restored, while the other remained unresolved despite repeated follow-ups.
August: Another payout, another termination.
After requesting another payout, I was selected for a Risk interview. I completed it, but days later, BrightFunded informed me that their camera had continued recording after the interview ended and captured a conversation between me and my roommate.
They claimed something said during that conversation indicated misuse of their system and terminated my account AGAIN.
I repeatedly asked them to share the relevant footage or simply tell me what exactly was said. I even offered my roommate's consent.
They refused everything, citing privacy and their internal review process.
September: Back to complete silence.
My latest email has gone unanswered for eight days, and my other account is still unresolved.
To give credit where it's due, BrightFunded has paid my approved payouts, including the latest one. But paying my earned money doesn't justify repeatedly terminating my accounts without giving me a fair chance to understand and respond to the allegations.
I've spent more time defending myself through emails than actually trading.
Traders, please think carefully before spending your money and months of hard work with this firm.
