8 signs of a trustworthy prop firm

A legitimate firm should pass all of these:

  • 1. Rules are on a public page, not only after purchase.
  • 2. Terms and conditions, privacy policy and refund policy are published.
  • 3. Marketing explains that accounts are simulated and nothing is guaranteed.
  • 4. Payout conditions (minimum, method, timing) are written down.
  • 5. Identity verification is required before payouts — it protects honest traders.
  • 6. There is a support channel that answers before you buy.
  • 7. Official domains and social accounts are listed, so you can spot impersonators.
  • 8. You can try the platform (free trial or demo) before paying.

Red flags of a prop firm scam

Be careful if you see:

  • “Guaranteed income” or “get rich” promises.
  • Rules that change after you buy, or hidden rules.
  • Payments requested to personal accounts or through social media DMs.
  • Pressure to buy immediately with fake countdowns.

Frequently asked questions

Are prop firms a scam?

Not inherently. Legitimate prop firms publish their rules and pay rewards under their terms. Check the 8 signs above before paying any firm.

Is Axora Funded legit?

Axora Funded operates only at axorafunded.com with published rules, terms, identity-verified payouts in USDT/USDC and a free trial. Check our official channels page to avoid impersonators.

Why do prop firms require identity verification?

To prevent fraud and duplicate accounts and to pay rewards to the right person. It is done once, before the first payout.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

At Axora Funded, yes: full refund within 14 days of purchase if you have not placed a trade.

Is the capital real?

All accounts are demo accounts with virtual funds that run in a simulated trading environment. Rewards are paid in USDT or USDC based on your simulated performance, according to our terms.
