Affiliate programme
An arrangement paying commission on sales referred through a tracked link. It is how most prop firms acquire customers, and it explains a large share of the reviews published about them.
GFN’s figure
GFN runs an affiliate programme with three published tiers: 10% commission as standard, 12.5% after $10,000 in tracked qualifying sales, and 15% after $25,000.
- Tier 1
- 10% - starting rate
- Tier 2
- 12.5% - after $10,000 in tracked qualifying sales
- Tier 3
- 15% - after $25,000 in tracked qualifying sales
Affiliates may not advertise assured payouts or funding, may not claim GFN provides live investment capital, and may not present themselves as an official GFN account.
In detail
Affiliate programme,explained
Affiliate economics are worth understanding as a reader, not just as a promoter: a review, a comparison table or a ranking is frequently monetised through the links inside it.
Programmes also carry advertising rules, because an affiliate making claims a firm could not make itself creates the same problem as if the firm had made them.

Terms thatcome with it
Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.
Prop firm
A company that assesses traders and pays them a share of the results they produce, rather than a broker that executes orders for clients. Most modern retail firms run the assessment on simulated accounts.
Terms of service
The contract between a trader and a firm, covering purchases, account rules, payouts and termination. It governs everything the marketing pages summarise, and where a page and the terms disagree, the terms are what applies.
Chargeback
A payment reversal requested from a card issuer rather than from the merchant. It is a fraud remedy, and using it as a substitute for a refund request is treated as a serious breach by every prop firm.
Refund policy
The published terms under which a firm will return the purchase price of an evaluation. Rights are usually strongest before the account has been accessed and narrow sharply once trading has begun.
