1-Step Challenge Account

Learn how the 1-step challenge works and what rules you need to follow.

Updated this week

Overview

The 1-Step Challenge is designed for disciplined sports bettors who want a faster path to a funded account.

Account sizes range from $1,000 to $100,000
(available options: $1K, $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K).

Unlike the standard challenge, this model requires only one evaluation phase.

To maintain fairness, the performance rules are stricter.


Important Notice

All rules must be followed at all times.

  • Violating any rule → immediate challenge failure

  • Rules apply across both the evaluation and funded stage


Objectives

To complete the challenge phase, you’ll need to hit the profit target, follow the pick rules, and close all active tickets.

Profit Requirement

Profit target — 30% of the initial account size

Your balance needs to hit 30% profit from the start. All tickets must be closed.

Example:

  • Starting Account Balance: $10,000

  • Profit Target: $3,000

Pick Requirements

Minimum picks — 25

You need to complete at least 25 picks before the requirement is met.


Minimum pick size — 1% of the initial account size

Each pick must meet or exceed this minimum to count toward your progress.

Example:

  • Starting Account Balance: $10,000

  • Minimum Pick Amount: $100


Maximum pick size — 5% of the initial account size

Each pick must not exceed this maximum to count toward your progress.

Example:

  • Starting Account Balance: $10,000

  • Maximum Pick Amount: $500


IMPORTANT

These limits are already built into the system — you won’t be able to place picks outside the allowed range, so there’s no risk of breaching these rules by mistake.

You are allowed to use up to 100% of your account balance across your picks, including during the evaluation phase.

However, there is one key restriction:

  • Maximum 5% of your account balance per single pick or parlay / ticket

This means you can fully utilize your balance, but it must be distributed across multiple picks, not concentrated into one position.


Account Violations (Hard Breach)

A hard breach is a serious rule violation that leads to immediate account closure.

Maximum Loss

Maximum Loss Limit — 15% of maximum balance (trailing)

The Maximum Loss Limit is the most your account can lose overall. It’s based on your highest balance and sets a level your balance can’t drop to.
Hitting this level is a hard breach and results in account closure.

Example:

  • Account size: $10,000

  • 15% Maximum Limit: $1,500

  • Highest Balance Reached: $12,000

  • Maximum Breach level: $8,500

Daily Loss

Daily Loss Limit — 10% of the initial account size (fixed)

The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum you can lose within a single day. It’s based on your starting balance and does not change over time.
Reaching this limit is a hard breach and results in account closure.

Example:

  • Account size: $10,000

  • 10% Daily Limit: $1,000

  • Start of Day Balance: $9,500

  • Daily Breach level: $8,500


Funded Stage

Once you pass both phases, you move to the funded stage.

  • No profit target

  • Same risk rules apply

  • You become eligible for payouts

Rewards

The minimum reward is 1% of the initial account size or $200, including our split.
Final amounts may vary slightly due to exchange rates and transfer fees.

Reward Rate

Standard Profit Split — 80%

The standard profit split determines how profits are shared between you and FundingPicks.

  • 80% of profits go to you

  • 20% of profits go to FundingPicks

Note: The split applies only to profits generated.

Example

  • Account size: $10,000

  • Account balance: $12,000

  • Profit generated: $2,000

Payout breakdown:

  • Your share (80%): $1,600

  • FundingPicks share (20%): $400


Upgraded Profit Split — 90%

The upgraded profit split allows you to keep a larger share of the profits generated on your account.

  • 90% of profits go to you

  • 10% of profits go to FundingPicks

Important: This upgrade must be selected as an add-on during checkout and cannot be applied after purchase.

Example

  • Account size: $10,000

  • Account balance: $12,000

  • Profit generated: $2,000

Payout breakdown:

  • Your share (90%): $1,800

Note: All picks must be settled before submitting a payout request.
