Payouts
Payout requirements: winning days, first payout and request windows
The requirements before a payout request depend on your account type. Most GFF plans use winning days and monthly request windows. Daily Payouts uses neither, and instead lets you request every 24 hours.
Requirements by account type
| Account type | Winning days required | Minimum profit for a winning day | Additional first-payout requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| EOD Funded | 7 | 0.2% of the starting balance | None |
| 1-Day-Pass-Plan Funded | 5 | 0.2% of the starting balance | None |
| Flex Funded | 5 | Depends on the account size | None |
| Instant Classic | 7 | 0.2% of the starting balance | At least 10 calendar days after your first trade and 7% account growth |
| Daily Payouts Funded | None | Not applicable | First request available 24 hours after your first funded trade |
What counts as a winning day?
A winning day is a trading day where your net P&L, after commissions and fees, reaches the minimum required amount.
For EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant Classic accounts, the requirement is at least 0.2% of the account's starting balance.
For example, a winning day on a 50K account requires at least $100 in net profit.
For Flex accounts, the minimum depends on the account size:
- Flex 50K: $250, which is 0.5%
- Flex 100K: $400, which is 0.4%
- Flex 150K: $450, which is 0.3%
Winning days do not need to be consecutive. They accumulate until you reach the required number for your payout cycle.
Daily Payouts does not use winning days. Payout eligibility on Daily is based on time since your last request, your profit buffer, and the daily progression rule.
When can I request my first payout?
For EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex funded accounts, you can request your first payout after completing the required winning days and meeting all other applicable payout rules.
For Daily Payouts accounts, you can request 24 hours after you place your first trade on the funded account, with no winning days required. See how the 24 hour payout cycle works.
For Instant Classic accounts, all of the following must be completed before your first payout:
- At least 10 calendar days must have passed since your first trade.
- You must complete 7 winning days.
- Your account must reach the 7% first-payout profit target.
- You must meet the 20% consistency rule.
- You must complete KYC verification.
What happens after my first payout?
A new payout cycle begins after each approved payout.
For Instant Classic accounts, you must also surpass your previous equity high, meaning the account equity level reached before your last withdrawal, before requesting another payout.
Additional recurring-payout requirements may apply depending on when your account was created. Please review the recurring payouts article before submitting another request.
When can I submit a payout request?
EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic
Payout requests are submitted through your dashboard during either of the monthly payout windows:
- 5th to 8th of each month
- 20th to 23rd of each month
If you become eligible outside a payout window, wait until the next window opens.
Daily Payouts.
There are no payout windows. You can submit your first request 24 hours after you place your first trade on the funded account, and one request every 24 hours after that, on any day of the month.
Before submitting your request
Make sure that:
- You have completed the required winning days.
- You meet any consistency rule that applies to your account.
- You meet the minimum payout amount and applicable payout cap.
- You satisfy any recurring-payout requirements.
- Your KYC verification is complete when required.
On Daily Payouts, check instead that at least 24 hours have passed since your last request, that your balance is above the profit buffer for your size, that at least half of what you are requesting is profit made since your last payout, and that your KYC is complete.
Updated 8 September 2026
What are the requirements for recurring payouts?
After an approved payout, a new payout cycle begins on the same account. You must meet the applicable payout requirements again before submitting another request.
What resets after a payout?
- Your winning-days counter resets to zero.
- Your consistency calculation starts fresh for the new payout cycle.
For your first payout, consistency is calculated using the profit accumulated since the account was funded. For later payouts, it is calculated using the profit accumulated during the new cycle after your previous approved payout.
New-profit requirement from your second payout
For accounts created after August 7, 2026, the following rule applies from the second payout onward:
At least 50% of the amount you request must come from new profit generated since your previous approved payout.
For example, a $2,000 payout request requires at least $1,000 in new profit during the current payout cycle.
Without this rule, a trader could build a buffer from one or two large days and then keep withdrawing the maximum cap without making anything new.
Eligible example
You trade a 50K account to $54,000 and receive a first payout of $2,000, leaving the account at $52,000.
You complete the requirements for the next payout cycle and grow the account to $54,000 again. You have generated $2,000 in new profit since the previous payout, so you satisfy the new-profit requirement for another $2,000 request.
Not-yet-eligible example
Using the same example, your account has reached only $52,800. That is $800 in new profit.
A $2,000 request requires at least $1,000 in new profit, so you are not yet eligible to submit that request. Continue trading until the requirement is met.
Additional requirement for Instant Classic
After the first payout on an Instant Classic account, you must surpass your previous equity high, meaning the account equity level reached before your last withdrawal, before requesting another payout.
If your Instant Classic account was created after August 7, 2026, you must satisfy both the previous-equity-high requirement and the new-profit requirement.
Daily Payouts
The new-profit requirement above applies to Daily Payouts, where it is called the daily progression rule: at least 50% of what you request must be profit made since your last approved payout.
The rest of this article does not apply to Daily Payouts. There is no winning day requirement and no consistency rule on the funded account, so nothing resets between payouts, and there are no payout windows. You can submit your next request 24 hours after the last one.
What happens if my recurring payout request is declined?
A declined request is not a breach and carries no account penalty. Continue trading and submit another request once all requirements are met, during an available payout window on the plans that use them.
Before requesting another payout
Make sure that:
- You have completed the required winning days.
- You meet the consistency rule that applies to your account.
- You meet the new-profit requirement if your account is subject to it.
- You have surpassed the previous equity high if you trade an Instant Classic account.
- Your request meets the minimum payout amount and applicable payout cap.
- You submit the request during an available payout window, unless you are on Daily Payouts, which has none.

How does the consistency rule affect payouts?
The consistency rule ensures that your profits are distributed across multiple trading days rather than depending on one unusually large winning day.
It measures how much of your total profit for the current evaluation or payout cycle came from your most profitable trading day.
How is consistency calculated?
Use the following calculation:
Highest-profit day ÷ total profit for the cycle × 100
Your highest-profit day must not be more than the consistency threshold for your account type. Landing exactly on the threshold is allowed.
Consistency thresholds by account type
| Account type | Evaluation | Funded |
|---|---|---|
| EOD Challenge | 50% | 30% |
| 1-Day-Pass-Plan | No consistency rule | 35% |
| Instant Classic | Not applicable | 20% |
| Flex Challenge | 50% | No consistency percentage |
| Daily Payouts | 40% | No consistency rule |
Worked example
You have $3,000 in total profit during the current payout cycle on an EOD funded account. Your highest-profit day is $1,200.
$1,200 ÷ $3,000 × 100 = 40%
The EOD funded consistency threshold is 30%, so you are not yet eligible to request a payout.
If you continue trading until your total profit reaches $4,000, the calculation becomes:
$1,200 ÷ $4,000 × 100 = 30%
You are now within the consistency threshold, provided you have met the other payout requirements.
What happens if I exceed the consistency threshold?
You are not disqualified, and exceeding the threshold does not close your account.
You simply cannot request a payout while your highest-profit day is above the applicable threshold. Continue trading and accumulating profit on other days until the highest-profit day represents no more than the allowed percentage of your total profit.
The consistency rule is checked when you request a payout, not continuously while you trade. This gives you the opportunity to bring your account back within the threshold before submitting your request.
Does Flex have a funded consistency rule?
Flex funded accounts do not have a numerical consistency percentage. However, all trading must still comply with GFF trading rules and must reflect genuine trading activity. Having no funded consistency percentage does not override prohibited-strategy or anti-gaming rules.
Does Daily Payouts have a funded consistency rule?
No. Daily Payouts has no consistency rule on the funded account, so it places no limit on your payouts. The 40% consistency rule applies during the evaluation only, and in practice it means spreading your profit across at least three trading days.
Updated 8 September 2026
What is the daily progression rule on Daily Payouts?
On Daily Payouts, at least 50% of every payout request must be profit generated since your last approved payout.
Turn that around and it is easier to use: you can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last payout. The minimum of $500 and the maximum for your account size still apply on top.
For your first payout there is nothing to compare against, so all profit above the buffer counts as new profit.
You may have met this rule before
If you hold an EOD, Flex or Instant Classic account created after 7 August 2026, this is the same new-profit requirement described in our recurring payouts article. The rule is identical. The only difference on Daily is the cadence: instead of applying between monthly payout windows, it applies between requests that can be 24 hours apart.
Why it exists
Without it, a trader could build a buffer from one or two large days and then keep withdrawing the maximum every 24 hours while making nothing new. The rule ties the pace of your payouts to the pace of your trading, which is the point of a daily payout product.
Worked examples on the Daily 50K Plan
Buffer $2,100, minimum balance to request $52,100, maximum per payout $1,000.
You made $700 since your last payout.
Twice $700 is $1,400. The 50K cap is $1,000. You can request up to $1,000.
You made $300 since your last payout.
Twice $300 is $600. That is above the $500 minimum, so you can request between $500 and $600.
You made $200 since your last payout.
Twice $200 is $400, which is below the $500 minimum. You cannot request yet. Keep trading until you have made at least $250 since your last payout.
You made nothing since your last payout, but your balance is $54,000.
There is no new profit, so nothing can be requested, however far above the buffer your balance sits. The extra profit stays in the account and supports your equity.
What happens if I do not meet it
The request is declined. This is not a breach, no profit is deducted under this rule, and your account stays open. Keep trading and submit a new request once at least half of the amount you want is profit made since your last payout.
This is not the same as the 60 second rule
Both are checked at payout request and both talk about 50% of profit since your last payout, so they are easy to confuse.
- The progression rule is about when the profit was made. At least half of your request has to come from profit made since the last payout.
- The 60 second rule is about how the profit was made. At least half of your net profit since the last payout has to come from trades held longer than 60 seconds. Failing this one also deducts the profit from trades held 60 seconds or less.
A request has to satisfy both.
Updated 8 September 2026
What is the profit split?
Profit splits vary by account type.
1-Day-Pass-Plan
- You keep 80% of your profits by default.
- Traders may purchase the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an additional 20% of the challenge price.
- Payouts become available after completing 5 winning days.
- 50% of your available profit is paid out per payout request.
- The remaining 50% stays in your account as a profit buffer to support future payouts.
Instant Classic Funded
- You keep 100% of your first $10,000 in payouts, then 90%.
- Instant Classic does not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. Payouts are capped per cycle by account size instead.
EOD Challenge
- You keep 80% of your profits by default.
- Traders may purchase the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an additional 20% of the challenge price.
Flex Challenge
- You keep 80% of your profits by default.
- Traders may purchase the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an additional 20% of the challenge price.
Daily Payouts
- You keep 90% of your profits from your very first payout. There is no add-on to buy.
- Payouts are available every 24 hours, with no winning day requirement and no fixed request windows.
- Daily Payouts does not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. Instead, a profit buffer must stay in the account, and each request is capped by account size.
- At least 50% of every request must be profit made since your last approved payout. See the daily progression rule.
| Account size | Profit buffer | Maximum per payout |
|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,100 | $650 |
| 50K | $2,100 | $1,000 |
| 100K | $3,100 | $1,500 |
| 150K | $4,600 | $2,500 |
What the 90/10 add-on costs
Flex examples:
- Flex 50K ($95 challenge) becomes +$19.00
- Flex 100K ($149 challenge) becomes +$29.80
- Flex 150K ($289 challenge) becomes +$57.80
1-Day-Pass-Plan examples:
- 1-Day-Pass-Plan 25K ($79 challenge) becomes +$15.80
- 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K ($109 challenge) becomes +$21.80
- 1-Day-Pass-Plan 100K ($179 challenge) becomes +$35.80
How the withdrawal allowance works
- Flex and EOD accounts follow a 50% withdrawal allowance structure. Traders may request up to 50% of their available profit, subject to the applicable payout caps, and the remaining 50% stays in the account for future payout requests.
- 1-Day-Pass-Plan accounts use a 50% payout structure. For each request, 50% of your available profit is paid out and the remaining 50% stays in your account as a profit buffer.
- Instant Classic accounts do not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. Traders should maintain sufficient account balance to remain above their maximum drawdown requirements.
- Daily Payouts accounts do not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. A profit buffer stays in the account and each request is capped by account size, with at least half of every request needing to be profit made since the last payout.
Updated 8 September 2026
What are the payout caps and minimum payout amounts?
A payout cap is the maximum amount you can request during one payout cycle. The cap depends on your account type, account size and, for some plans, how many approved payouts you have already received.
Minimum payout amount
The minimum payout request across all GFF account types is $500.
This applies to EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic, Flex and Daily Payouts accounts. If your eligible payout amount is below $500, keep trading until you reach the minimum and meet the other payout requirements.
EOD funded accounts
You may request up to 50% of your available profit, subject to the cap for your account size and payout number. The remaining 50% stays in the account as a buffer for future payout cycles.
| Payout | 50K | 100K | 150K |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| 2nd | $2,000 | $2,750 | $3,250 |
| 3rd | $2,500 | $3,250 | $3,750 |
| 4th and later | $2,750 | $3,750 | $4,250 |
1-Day-Pass-Plan funded accounts
You may request up to 50% of your available profit, subject to the cap for your account size and payout number. The remaining 50% stays in the account as a buffer for future payout cycles.
| Payout | 25K | 50K | 100K |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $800 | $1,500 | $2,500 |
| 2nd | $1,000 | $1,750 | $3,000 |
| 3rd | $1,200 | $2,000 | $3,500 |
| 4th and later | $1,500 | $2,500 | $4,500 |
Instant Classic accounts
Instant Classic accounts do not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. The following maximum applies to each payout cycle:
| Account size | Maximum payout per cycle |
|---|---|
| 25K | $1,000 |
| 50K | $2,000 |
| 100K | $3,000 |
| 150K | $4,000 |
Flex funded accounts
You may request up to 50% of your available profit, subject to the cap for your account size. The remaining 50% stays in the account as a buffer for future payout cycles.
| Account size | Maximum payout per cycle |
|---|---|
| 50K | 50% of available profit, up to $2,000 |
| 100K | 50% of available profit, up to $2,500 |
| 150K | 50% of available profit, up to $3,000 |
For Flex accounts, the 50% withdrawal allowance and payout cap are measured against the total profit on the account before the applicable profit split is applied.
Daily Payouts funded accounts
Daily Payouts does not use the 50% withdrawal allowance and does not scale the cap by payout number. A profit buffer stays in the account, and each request is capped by account size.
| Account size | Profit buffer | Minimum balance to request | Maximum per payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,100 | $26,100 | $650 |
| 50K | $2,100 | $52,100 | $1,000 |
| 100K | $3,100 | $103,100 | $1,500 |
| 150K | $4,600 | $154,600 | $2,500 |
Two further conditions apply to every Daily Payouts request:
- At least 50% of the amount requested must be profit made since your last approved payout, so you can request up to twice your new profit.
- At least 50% of your net profit since your last payout must come from trades held longer than 60 seconds.
Profit above the maximum stays in the account and supports your equity going into the next request. Requesting a payout does not move or lock your drawdown limit. See how the 24 hour payout cycle works.
How do the minimum and cap work together?
- If your eligible payout is below $500, you cannot submit a payout request yet.
- If your eligible payout is between $500 and your applicable cap, you may request the eligible amount.
- If your eligible payout exceeds the cap, the maximum you may request is the applicable cap.
You must also meet any winning day, consistency, recurring-payout and KYC requirements that apply to your account type. Daily Payouts has no winning day requirement and no consistency rule on the funded account.
Processing fee for payouts
A 3% fee is applied to all payouts to cover payment processing and transaction costs. As a result, the final amount that arrives in your account may be slightly lower than the total shown on your payout certificate.
Updated 14 September 2026
How are payouts sent and how long do they take?
All GFF payouts are processed through Rise (Riseworks), a third-party payout platform widely used in the futures prop trading industry.
How do I receive my payout?
Once you are eligible to request a payout, submit the request through your GFF dashboard.
On EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic that has to be during an available payout window. Daily Payouts has no windows, so you can request on any day, once every 24 hours.
Your payout is then processed through Rise. You must have completed the required KYC verification before the payout can be completed.
When is KYC required?
- EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex: KYC must be completed before your account is upgraded to the funded stage.
- Instant Classic: KYC must be completed when you become eligible for your first payout.
- Daily Payouts: KYC must be completed before your first payout.
If your KYC verification is incomplete or requires additional review, your payout may be delayed.
How long does payout processing take?
GFF processes payout requests within two business days after the request is submitted. On Daily Payouts, requests are processed within 48 hours.
Weekends and public holidays are not business days. This timeframe covers GFF processing; once processed, the payout is handled through Rise.
What should I do if my payout is taking longer?
If more than two business days have passed and you have not received an update, contact GFF Support and provide your account details and payout-request information so the team can investigate.

Updated 14 September 2026
How the 24 hour payout cycle works on Daily Payouts
Daily Payouts is the only GFF plan where payout requests are not tied to a monthly window or to a winning day count. Here is how the cycle actually works.
Your first request
You can submit your first payout request 24 hours after you place your first trade on the funded account. The clock starts when that trade is placed, not when it closes.
There is no minimum number of trading days, no winning day requirement, and no waiting for a monthly window. What you do need is:
- A balance at or above the profit buffer for your account size
- A request of at least $500
- Completed KYC verification
Every request after that
One request every 24 hours. There is no cap on how many payouts you can take.
Buffer, minimum and maximum
| Account size | Profit buffer | Minimum balance to request | Maximum per payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,100 | $26,100 | $650 |
| 50K | $2,100 | $52,100 | $1,000 |
| 100K | $3,100 | $103,100 | $1,500 |
| 150K | $4,600 | $154,600 | $2,500 |
The buffer stays in the account and is not withdrawable. Profit above the per-payout maximum stays in the account too, and supports your equity going into the next request.
The minimum request is $500 on every size.
Two checks run on every request
Both are checked when you submit, and a request can fail either one:
- The daily progression rule.At least 50% of what you request must be profit made since your last approved payout.
- The 60 second holding rule.At least 50% of your net profit since your last payout must come from trades held longer than 60 seconds.
What "50% must be new profit" means in practice
You can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last approved payout, within the minimum and maximum for your size.
Worked example on a funded Daily 50K: Your balance is $53,400, which is $1,300 above the $52,100 buffer. Your last payout was approved yesterday and you have made $700 since. Twice $700 is $1,400, but the 50K maximum is $1,000, so you request $1,000. At the 90/10 split you receive $900, less the 3% processing fee, so $873 arrives. Your balance becomes $52,400.
The practical effect is that one very good day followed by flat days will not let you keep withdrawing. Each request has to be at least half funded by profit made since the last one.
Why was my request declined?
A declined request is not a breach. Your account stays open and you keep trading.
The usual reasons:
- Less than half the requested amount is profit made since your last payout. Keep trading and request again once it is.
- Less than half your net profit since the last payout came from trades held longer than 60 seconds. In this case the profit from trades held 60 seconds or under in that period is also deducted.
- Your balance is below the profit buffer for your size.
- You requested less than $500, or more than the maximum for your size.
- KYC is not complete.
Processing time and fees
Payouts are processed within 48 hours of the request. A 3% processing fee is deducted to cover payment and transaction costs, so the amount that reaches you is slightly below the figure on your payout certificate.
How this compares to our other plans
| Daily Payouts | Flex | EOD | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Request frequency | Every 24 hours | Two windows a month | Two windows a month |
| Winning days needed | None | 5 | 7 |
| Profit split | 90/10 from the first payout | 80/20, 90/10 as a paid add-on | 80/20, 90/10 as a paid add-on |
| Maximum per request (50K) | $1,000 | 50% of profit, up to $2,000 | 50% of profit, up to $1,500 first payout |
Flex pays more per request. Daily pays more often, and at a better split without an add-on.
Updated 14 September 2026
Do I need KYC verification for payouts?
Yes, KYC verification is required, but the timing depends on your account type:
- EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex Challenge — KYC must be completed before your account is upgraded to the funded stage.
- Instant Classic — you can buy and trade the account without KYC. You need to complete it once you become eligible for your first payout.
- Daily Payouts — KYC must be completed before your first payout.
On Daily Payouts you can request a payout every 24 hours, so verification is the step most likely to hold up an early request. Start it as soon as your funded account is activated rather than waiting until you want the money.
Challenge accounts: upon passing your Challenge and getting your review approved, you will instantly receive your KYC link via email. To complete your KYC you will need:
- A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID)
- Proof of address dated within the last 3 months (utility bill, bank statement, or similar document)
We recommend completing KYC early to avoid any delays when it's time to get funded or request a payout.
Updated 8 September 2026
How long does it take to complete KYC?
If it's your first time successfully reaching all your Challenge objectives with GOAT Funded Futures, we will require you to complete KYC.
Our team may take up to 2 business days to review your passed Challenge account (usually within hours) and you will then instantly receive your KYC link via email.
After uploading your documents you will receive the instant result, and if successful, our team will grant your funded account within 2 business days (usually within hours).
Good news is that this only needs to happen the first time you pass your Challenge. After you complete KYC successfully, all future funded accounts will be granted by our team directly upon passing the Challenge (up to 2 business days).
Instant Classic: there is no Challenge to pass, so you do not complete KYC when you buy. You complete it once you become eligible for your first payout. The document check itself works the same way and returns an instant result.
Updated 10 August 2026
KYC & Identity Verification Policy
To maintain a secure and trusted trading environment, all users must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification through our platform using a valid government-issued document supported by our verification provider.
The KYC process must be completed only by the person who owns and operates the account. The individual appearing in the verification video/selfie must match the identity shown on the submitted documents. Verification cannot be completed by any third party.
A complete name change to a different individual is not allowed. Using documents that belong to another person or involving multiple individuals in the verification process is strictly prohibited. Verification may be reviewed again whenever an account requires updates, upgrades, or additional checks.
Note: These requirements are in line with general KYC and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) legal and compliance standards. If any of these rules are violated, we may decline the verification or ban the account, and access to our services will be restricted.
