Elite Trader Funding: VPNs and IP masking are prohibited outright

ETF prohibits VPNs, proxies and any IP-masking technology on trading accounts. Traders who use a VPN routinely for privacy, or who travel, can breach without placing a bad trade.

Elite Trader Funding: Your country can be blocked by the payment provider, not the firm

Eligibility depends on Rise, the reward provider, as well as on ETF itself. If your country is on Rise’s restricted list you cannot receive rewards even where the firm would otherwise accept you, and the list can change without the firm changing anything.

2 hidden rules you should know before you buy

Terms that can cost you an account or a payout after you have already paid. Hidden means easy to miss, not concealed. The firm publishes every one of these, usually in its terms or FAQ rather than on its pricing page. Tap a rule to read it, with the page we read it on and the date.

Payouts read off Arbitrum and tied to Elite Trader Funding, each linked to its transaction. A payout that cannot be tied to a firm is left out, so this is a floor and not Elite Trader Funding’s whole payout volume.
