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
Both the Challenge Phase and the Funded Phase require a minimum of 25 picks on a 1-Step Challenge account.
You must complete at least 25 valid picks in each phase for the requirement to be 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
Parlays can only be canceled within 5 minutes of being opened, and never later than 20 minutes before the match or event starts.
The cancellation window closes as soon as either of these limits is reached.
Examples:
If you open a parlay 18 minutes before the game starts, you cannot cancel it, because the 20-minute pre-game cutoff has already passed.
If you open a parlay 23 minutes before the game starts, you only have 3 minutes to cancel it. After that, the game is 20 minutes away and the cancellation window closes.
If the parlay is successfully canceled within the allowed window, the funds are automatically returned to your account balance.
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 results in immediate account closure.
Maximum Loss Limit (Trailing)
Rule
The Maximum Loss Limit is 10% of your initial account size (trailing).
This limit moves up as your balance increases
It never moves down while the account is active
It follows your highest achieved balance, while the Maximum Loss Limit always remains a fixed 10% of your initial account size below that highest balance.
After a payout, your account balance resets and the trailing loss limit resets with it
How it works
Your account has a moving “floor” that rises as you make profits.
As your highest balance increases, your breach level moves up with it. If your balance later drops, the breach level does not move back down.
Once you receive a payout, however, your account balance is reset and a new trailing loss limit starts from the reset balance.
Example 1
Account size: $10,000
Maximum Loss (10%): $1,000
Highest balance: $10,000
Maximum breach level: $9,000
Example 2
Highest balance: $12,000
Maximum breach level: $11,000
👉 If your balance hits $11,000 or below, your account is closed
Example 3 — After a payout
Initial account size: $10,000
Highest balance reached: $12,000
Previous breach level: $11,000
You receive a payout
Your account balance resets to: $10,000
After the payout, the previous $11,000 trailing breach level is cleared.
Your trailing loss limit resets based on the new $10,000 balance:
Maximum Loss: $1,000
New breach level: $9,000
👉 From this point onward, the trailing limit starts moving again based on your new highest balance.
⚠️ Important
Before a payout, if your balance drops, the trailing limit does NOT reset or move down.
The only time the trailing loss limit resets is after a completed payout, when the account balance itself is reset.
Funded Stage
Once you pass both phases, you move to the funded stage.
No profit target
Same risk rules apply
