Reward on Demand Eligibility Criteria
First Reward on Demand is available as an add-on for all our 1-Step, 2-Steps, 3-Steps and Goat Blitz challenges.
To qualify for a Reward on Demand while trading on a funded account, traders must meet the following criteria:
- Minimum Profit & Trading Days: Traders must achieve a minimum profit of 3% in their account over at least 3 trading days.
- Minimum Daily Profit: Traders must generate at least 0.5% profit per day on a minimum of 3 trading days.
For the first Reward on Demand, a 40% profit split will be applied. After this, traders become eligible for subsequent rewards every 14 or 30 days, at the usual full 80% profit split.
Please note that failing to meet any of the above criteria will result in ineligibility for Reward on Demand. Ensure compliance with these requirements to take advantage of expedited reward processing.
Please note that The 100% Profit Split add-on does not change the Reward on Demand profit split from 40% on first payout. Regardless of add-ons purchased, the first Reward on Demand will always be paid at a 40% profit split.

What is the "Triple Payday" reward schedule?
The "Triple Payday" reward schedule is the standard payout schedule for our Instant Funding Standard Account. This allows traders to request a reward on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of every month, providing more frequent access to earnings.
To be eligible for a reward under this schedule, traders must meet the following conditions:
- The first reward can be requested after the account has been active for a minimum of 10 days.
- For each subsequent reward, traders must accumulate at least 7 trading days.
This schedule is automatically applied to all Instant Funding Standard Accounts and cannot be changed.
How payouts work: eligibility, request, processing and arrival
Reward requests can be initiated from your dashboard and will be processed within 2 business days. A minimum withdrawal amount of $100 is required to submit a request.
We process rewards via Rise, Crypto, Skrill and Bank transfer. The name on your Goat Funded Trader (GFT) account must match the name on your payout account, and the payout address must not be in use on any other GFT account. See "Your payout details must belong to you" below.
Your payout eligibility date and time shown on the dashboard are in UTC. The 5PM EST reset referenced elsewhere in these FAQs applies to trading days and daily drawdown, not to payout timing.
Payout methods and limits
| Method | Maximum per payout |
|---|---|
| Rise | No limit |
| Bank Transfer | $10,000 |
| Skrill | $5,000 |
| Crypto | $3,000 |
These amounts are per payout. Each payout request must be for the full profit amount in your account (GFT does not offer partial withdrawals), and you can have only one payout request pending on an account at a time. If your profit is higher than a method's per-payout maximum, choose Rise, which has no limit.
Bank transfer is currently available in Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania, Cameroon and Ghana only. If it isn't offered for your region, please choose another method.
Processing timeline
You receive your payout within 2 business days of submitting the request. Weekends and public holidays do not count toward the 2 days.
- Submit on Monday: expect it by Wednesday.
- Submit on Friday: expect it by Tuesday.
On your first payout, identity verification (KYC) runs first, and the 2 business day window starts once your verification is complete. Completing KYC promptly when prompted is the single best way to avoid delay.
Our commitment: if we fail to process your payout within 2 business days, we add a $1,000 bonus to it. The bonus does not apply when the delay is caused by pending or incomplete KYC, or by our team needing additional information from you.
If your payout is past the window, the cause is almost always one of two things: incomplete KYC, or a pending review with our risk team. In both cases you will have been contacted; check your email and dashboard first.
Identity verification (KYC) and Trader Agreement at payout
When you request your first payout, you'll be asked to complete a quick identity verification (KYC) and to electronically sign our Trader Agreement. These steps are required before any payout can be processed.
- If you request your payout via Crypto, Skrill or bank transfer, verification is completed through Veriff. If Veriff is unable to verify you, we'll invite you to verify through Rise. Once completed, your payout will be processed using the method you originally selected.
- If you request your payout via Rise, verification is completed on the Rise platform. If Rise is unable to verify you, we'll offer verification through Veriff; in that case your payout method will need to be changed to Crypto or Skrill, since a Rise payout requires Rise verification.
If your identity cannot be verified through either method, we're unable to process the payout. Our support team will reach out to you with the next steps.
Changing your payout method
Once a payout has been requested, your selected payout method is locked and cannot be changed. The only exception is when your Rise verification is unsuccessful and you need to switch to a Veriff-verified method (Crypto or Skrill) to receive your payout. Please choose your payout method carefully before submitting your request.
Your payout details must belong to you, and only you
The payout method you submit for a payout must be in your name and used by nobody else on Goat Funded Trader. When you submit a request you confirm that this is the case.
If the payout address on your request matches an address that is already on another GFT account, this counts as a breach. We do not ask for an explanation and we do not offer the option to swap in a different address. The check runs automatically at the point of request, and the result is final.
This includes situations where the other account belongs to a family member, a friend, or someone who used your address without telling you. We have no way to confirm who really controls a shared address, so we treat every match the same way. Before you request a payout, make sure the address is one nobody else has used with us.
Funded Account Reward Guidelines
At Goat Funded Trader, we prioritize a fair and secure trading environment. To maintain stability, we have implemented the following rules for funded accounts:
Daily Profit Limit
- Traders on funded accounts can generate a maximum profit of $3,000 per trading day.
- Any profits exceeding this limit will be deducted from the account.
- This is not considered a breach; the deduction is only to maintain a controlled and sustainable trading system.
Profit Withdrawal Limits for Initial Rewards
- For the first two reward requests, traders can withdraw a maximum of 6% of the initial account balance or $10,000, whichever is lower.
- Exception: For $5k Two-Step accounts (both Goat and Standard), the cap is 4% of the initial account balance instead of 6%. This applies only to accounts purchased from July 25th, 2026 onward. For $5K Instant HERO accounts purchased from 6 October 2026 onward, the cap is also 4%. This cap does not apply to Goat 1$ accounts.
- Any profits beyond this limit will be deducted from the account balance.
- After the first two rewards, this restriction is removed, and there are no further withdrawal limits.
Reward Processing Fee
All rewards are subject to a 3% processing fee. The fee is calculated on the final reward amount after applying the applicable profit split and any deductions, if applicable. The remaining amount is then paid to the trader.
Why Are These Limits Necessary?
These limits help create a stable and secure trading environment while allowing us to properly assess each trader's performance. The period between purchasing the program and receiving the first rewards is often too short for a full evaluation of trading behavior. By implementing these temporary restrictions, we ensure fairness, sustainability, and long-term opportunities for all traders. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact our support team.

How long does it take to receive my reward?
Once you submit your reward request, you can expect to receive your payout within 2 business days. This means weekends and public holidays are not counted toward the 2-day period.
Please note: your first payout includes an identity verification (KYC) step. The 2 business day processing window begins once your verification is complete, so we recommend completing KYC promptly when prompted.
Examples
- If you submit your payout request on Monday, you can expect to receive it by Wednesday.
- If you submit it on Friday, your payout will be processed by Tuesday, since Saturday and Sunday are not business days.
We stand by our commitment to timely payouts. If we fail to process your reward within this timeframe, we will add a $1,000 bonus to your payout as compensation. However, this bonus will not be applied if the delay is caused by:
- Pending KYC verification or incomplete identity confirmation.
- Requests for additional data clarification from our team.
We recommend ensuring that all necessary information is up to date to avoid any processing delays.
For the full process, including methods, limits and verification, see How payouts work.

Identity verification (KYC) - what to expect
Before we can process your first payout, we need to verify your identity (KYC) and have you sign our Trader Agreement. This keeps payouts secure and meets our verification requirements. Here's how it works.
When does KYC happen?
KYC and the Trader Agreement are completed when you request your first payout, not when you receive your funded account. You can start trading your funded account right away; you'll only be asked to verify your identity and sign the agreement when you request your first withdrawal.
How verification works
The verification provider depends on the payout method you choose:
- Crypto, Skrill or bank transfer → verified through Veriff. When you request your payout, a Veriff link is sent to you automatically.
- If Veriff is unable to verify you, we'll invite you to verify through Rise instead. Once completed, your payout is processed using the method you originally chose.
- Rise → verified on the Rise platform.
- If Rise is unable to verify you, we'll offer verification through Veriff. In that case your payout method will be changed to Crypto or Skrill, since a Rise payout requires Rise verification.
If your identity can't be verified through either provider, we're unable to process the payout. Our support team will contact you with the next steps.
Where to find payout details
For the available payout methods, per-method limits, and how the payout-method lock works, see "How are withdrawal/reward requests processed?".
Tips for smooth verification
- Make sure the name on your GFT account matches your identity documents and your payout account.
- Use a clear, valid, government-issued ID.
- Complete verification promptly as your payout's 2 business day processing window starts once verification is complete.
