Overview
Starting your journey on FundedCup takes less than two minutes. The process is fully automated, transparent, and built to reward consistent sports analysis. Here is the entire roadmap from your first click to receiving your performance payouts.
Step 1: Create Your Account
An email address or a Google account. Nothing else.
We don't ask for documents during signup — identity verification only becomes relevant later, before your first payout. You'll have access to your dashboard in under a minute.
Step 2: Pick Your Challenge Size
Head over to fundedcup.com/challenges and select the simulated account size that matches your experience and analytical goals :
Rookie
• Simulated Account Size: $1,000
• One-Time Entry Fee: $49
Starter

How to choose? Two questions:
What can you comfortably afford? A challenge is a one-time entry fee, not a subscription — but it should never be money you need elsewhere. If $49 is your comfort zone, start Rookie. Plenty of funded pickers started exactly there.
How big do you want your funded capital to be? Your challenge size becomes your funded account size. Pass the evaluation on a $10K Player account, and you trade $10,000 of simulated capital — keeping 80% of the profits you generate.
If you're unsure, the answer is simple: start small. A $49 Rookie challenge teaches you our rules for the price of a night out. Scale up when you've proven your read.
Step 3: Understand What You're Signing Up For
Every challenge runs on the same core structure:
Phase 1 and Phase 2 with profit targets to hit
Daily loss and overall loss limits that protect the capital — cross them and the evaluation ends
Minimum selections and minimum active days so a lucky weekend isn't enough to pass
Position size limits that force healthy diversification across your picks
The exact numbers depend on your tier, and they're all displayed on the purchase page before you pay. No fine print surprises.
One rule worth knowing early: consistency beats streaks. Our passing rates favor pickers who spread 25 selections over weeks with controlled risk over those who land one big parlay-style run. That's by design.
Step 4: Pay Once, Start Immediately
Card, crypto, or one of 30+ local payment methods. One payment, one time — no subscription, no monthly fees, no charges on your funded profits later.
The moment payment confirms, your challenge account is created and waiting in your dashboard. No manual approval. No delay.
Step 5: Place Your First Selection
Open your dashboard, browse live markets across football, basketball, MMA, tennis and more, and build your first selection.
Every price you see is streamed in real time from 200+ sources. When you validate a selection, the price is locked at that exact moment — server-verified, so what you confirm is what counts.
From there, the challenge runs on your schedule. Hit your targets while respecting the limits, and Phase 2 unlocks. Pass Phase 2, and your funded account is activated within 48 hours.
