Mate I'm actually fuming right now because this company is a bloody nightmare and a total scam. They are absolute grubs who stole my whole savings and i cant believe i fell for it. i was just trying to make some extra cash but now they wont let me take a single cent out of the account. it is fraud 100 percent and i am losing my mind over here. i remember being a little kid playing at the park without a worry in the world and now i am dealing with these criminals. i tried to message them but they just ignore me or give me some rubbish excuse about why the withdrawal is pending. Don't trust this company at all they are nothing but thieves and it is a massive joke. i was so desperate but then i found 𝘼͟𝙡͟𝙡͟𝙥͟•͟𝙪͟𝙠͟ who actually helped me get my funds back. idk what i would have done without them because the platform is just trash. seriously mate if u have money in there get it out now before it is gone forever. Honestly 𝘼͟𝙡͟𝙡͟𝙥͟•͟𝙪͟𝙠͟ saved me from a total breakdown. i am so angry that these people get away with robbing honest people but at least there is one way to fix it. stay away from those scammers or u will regret it big time.
After months of delays and misleading updates, I had lost hope. Topciphertrails took over and resolved the situation far quicker than expected.

FundingTicks shut down on January 18 2026. This review is a permanent record of the business model that failed and continues to operate under different names from the same jurisdiction.
The model works as follows. A company registers in a general business free zone in Dubai with a commercial license costing as little as AED 12,900. No financial license is required. No regulatory oversight exists. The company builds a website offering simulated trading challenges. Retail consumers in over 140 countries pay between 200 and 1000 dollars through Stripe Inc San Francisco and Visa Inc Foster City for access to demo accounts with simulated funds. The company’s own published terms state that all accounts are simulated and that payouts are discretionary. Consistency rules ensure that no single winning day can exceed 20 to 45 percent of total profit. Maximum drawdowns are set between 4 and 8 percent on simulated capital. When a trader becomes profitable the rules tighten. When too many traders become profitable the company changes rules retroactively, reduces profit splits, introduces new restrictions, and eventually shuts down. Challenge fees already collected through payment processors are not returned. FundingTicks followed this exact pattern. Retroactive rule changes in December 2025. Trustpilot rating collapsed from 4.1 to 3.2. Denied withdrawals. Limited communication. Shutdown three weeks later. Between 2024 and 2026 an estimated 80 to 100 prop trading firms using this identical model have closed. The pattern repeats because nothing prevents it. No financial regulator oversees these operations. No consumer protection authority has jurisdiction over a commercial license in a general business free zone selling simulated products globally. Stripe’s Restricted Businesses list and Visa’s Brand Protection Program both require merchants to hold applicable financial licenses for financial services. Whether processing payments for unregulated simulated financial products with discretionary payouts constitutes non-compliant merchant activity under these programs is a matter for Stripe and Visa compliance teams to determine. Under ESMA Decision EU 2019/679 restrictions on the marketing distribution and sale of leveraged products to retail clients apply across the European Economic Area. Under EU Directive 2005/29/EC omitting the absence of financial supervision when marketing trading services to European consumers may constitute a misleading commercial practice. The US Consumer Review Fairness Act 2016 and UK CMA guidelines state that contractual clauses prohibiting honest consumer reviews are unenforceable. Companies using this model routinely include such clauses in their terms of service. Notice to Trustpilot A/S Copenhagen and Trustpilot Inc United States.

لقد بنت الإمارات واحداً من أكثر الأنظمة المالية احتراماً في العالم؛ حيث يقف مركز دبي المالي العالمي وسوق أبوظبي العالمي جنباً إلى جنب مع لندن وسنغافورة وهونغ كونغ كرموز للتميز التنظيمي. إن خروج الإمارات من القائمة الرمادية لمجموعة العمل المالي في عام 2024 أثبت للعالم ما يمكن أن تحققه القيادة الحكيمة من شفافية. هذا الإرث مبني على الثقة، وليس على مجرد رسوم تراخيص المناطق الحرة. الشركات التي تعمل من مناطق حرة تجارية عامة وتبيع منتجات مالية محاكاة بمدفوعات تقديرية لمستهلكين في أكثر من مائة وأربعين دولة دون أي رقابة مالية لا تمثل قيم الإمارات ولا طموحاتها. أجندة دبي الاقتصادية D33 تتصور مستقبلاً تقود فيه دبي التمويل العالمي من خلال النزاهة والابتكار. كل عملية غير منظمة تختبئ خلف صندوق بريد في منطقة حرة تجارية عامة تقوض هذه الرؤية. هذا التقييم منشور دعماً لحماية المستهلك ودعماً لإرث التميز في التنظيم المالي لدولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة.

Veritas_Rĕdress' patience and clarification helped me recoup my assets after the initial confusion with digital investments.
It’s been more than 3 weeks I haven’t received my refund to my card.
And no way to contact the support even the website not working.
Blake spectrum was very helpful to me. From losing it all to recovery all my lost fund. I’m grateful.
It seemed impossible at first. VërItaS ṛedRess made it possible, restoring optimism. All $76k recovered without problem.
I’m happy with the help I received from 🅣🅞🅟🅡🅔🅒🅞🅥🅔🅡🅨🅔🅧🅟🅔🅡🅣🅢. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable.
They kept postponing my withdrawal!
They kept postponing my withdrawal for months with no real explanation. Highly disappointed in this company, i don't recommend it
This company is no longer able to pay out do not use. Recent administration I believ tge sister company funded pips also is in danger
Dear friends, this company is really a liar and a scammer. I am on a master account and when I came to withdraw money, they automatically activated Consistency Score for me. I might like to open a position with 0.01 or 1 full lot, who cares. For three days in a row, they changed my leverage to 1.20. Every time I talk to support, they say that you activated Consistency Score yourself, which really disappoints me. Please do not buy from this company.
They kept postponing my withdrawal for months with no real explanation. Once Leinș felder intervened, everything was sorted out smoothly. reliable service.
Hey , after the propfirm shut down , you promised a refund of the account , ( account was in eval phase ) , refund should have been 119$ as paid the first time , it's been 3 weeks now , no refund given , please look into this .
I didn't received my refund, they just cheated They just extended their timeline by saying 15 days, and closed. No responce with mail.
I invested 12k$ and didn’t get my money back till I used “𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦“ to sue them and got my money back with compensation added
Ver~tel~wavės did a great job getting back my 77k from this swindlers, after the literally stop responding and no where to be found..!!
The company is based in UAE. But does not provide service to UAE resident. My accounts was rejected after passed the evaluation and I got them refunded.
But, why you not provide the service to people in the same country as your office?? something is definitely fishy! Smelly fish one..
