Phidias Propfirm Competition Entry $30 With $24,000 Prize Pool

My first $10,000 payout with Phidias was approved, confirmed, and shown as credited to my Phidias Wallet. I traded about two months on five funded $50K accounts to get there. The money never reached me.
On 22 April, Phidias emailed me that my payout request was successfully registered and being processed. The same day, they sent a cash withdrawal confirmation saying the funds were successfully processed and credited to my Phidias Wallet.
After that, I waited. The payment did not arrive. Support kept turning it into alleged Rise/payment connection issues or pending status in their system. I sent the proof they asked for: Rise was ready to receive payments and the documents were already signed. It still just got dragged out.
After I had already been waiting unpaid for around one and a half weeks, Phidias listed me publicly in their April top 5 payouts leaderboard with a $10,000 payout using my full name. They used this unpaid payout in their marketing (Discord and emails), although I never received any money.
I tried to solve it privately first. I sent and answered 30+ emails, then went to their Discord support because email was going nowhere. Every answer became another delay, another supposed setup issue, or pending/internal update.
The last answer I got from Discord support was to wait 24-48 business hours until I would get payed. After that, I woke up the next morning banned from their Discord. The support messages were deleted, my Phidias account was locked so I could no longer log in, and they have not answered any of my messages since.
Phidias approved my payout, showed it as credited, advertised it publicly, dragged out the actual payment with supposed setup/pending issues, then banned me, locked me out, deleted the support
messages, and stopped answering me. I am still unpaid.
Until this is resolved, I would warn other traders not to trust Phidias payout marketing.

Customer support was prompt and ive had no trouble with my accounts!

I bought new account today 17 April 26 25K static and I was on MNQ chart placed my first trade on MNQ but it opened on NQ and I was risking 10 Points but they slipped me and got it closed at Max loss limit, slippage after 8 minute of market open and they open trade on NQ no wise person will trade NQ mini on 500$ drawdown they are clearly scamming people out of money dont trust them.
Edit after their reply: I have contacted the support team through email but they replied "our system detected that a trade of 1 contract was executed on the NQ symbol, and this resulted in reaching your maximum loss limit. That is why your account now shows a breached status.
Let me know if you have more information or if you need further assistance. We are here to help!

i bought an account on Saturday afternoon. its now Sunday and 8 hours into the futures opening . i was given a rithmic user name and password to first sign my agreements. i tried the credentials on the Rtrader downloaded site, the web app and the Rtrader website. they all failed to log me in. i checked the user name and password several times and copied and manually entered them. Still no login. The frustrating part is I've had accounts with my funded futures and funded next and they got back to me very fast! initially when i sent an email to support at Phidias( they have no live chat), their response, which was quick enough, was worthless: i was told to try to log in again! that's it! and I've sent them screen shots of my user name and password( that they sent me) sitting in the failed log in, in all the sites: web app, Rtrader log in. and Rtrader website. And now its 7 1/2 hrs later and i still haven't heard a word!
Well, now its over 10 hrs. and I still haven't been able to log into the R trader web app or the website to sign the agreements. I sent them, plain as day, screen shots of my username and password being rejected with login failed. One agent told me that the user name must start with PHD and that's why I can't get in. Then, another agent told me no, the PP user name we sent you is correct. But clearly it wasn't and all they had to do was look at my screen shot to see the PP username is not correct. So, bottom line is 10 hrs. later and i still have no way to access my account, and there not doing anything about it! So, i am demanding my money via a refund. How can i trust they will follow through with any payout, or anything else that comes up, if there failing at the starting gate! Also, there website doesn't work properly. You click a tab and it goes there but the highlighted tab is stuck on the 10k challenge tab. Red flags everywhere!! Very unlike my funded futures or funded next which i have/had accounts with. I really liked the payout and targets here on Phidias, but this has turned me off to going any further!

Had a great experience including a payout. However, had some issues with Rithimic and their connection issues with data that was paid for and the severe lag that is a constant issue with this particular platform. Contacted Phidias twice concerninig the issue both times denied any issue whatsoever. Straight up refused any resolution to their connection issue and known outdated connection protocols for a platform they know has issue but still promotes it as its the best out there. Both instinces they were provided proof of issues and both times denied the issue outright! Dont trade with Phidias as the first issue with any connection issue or etc., dont worry, its your fault! They will take your money. I trade with multiple firms with 0 issues on any other platform other than the 2 they offer. Proof can be provided! P.S. The default message you get as a reply for a negative review, its bullsht as well!
