Rules, Attribution & Compliance

How attribution works, what counts as a referral, and the rules to follow

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Overview

To maintain a fair and sustainable ecosystem, the FundingTraders Partner Program includes strict attribution rules and a sophisticated fraud prevention system.

These systems protect legitimate partners while preventing abuse and artificial activity.


Attribution Rules

90-Day Attribution Window

  • Starts after a client’s first purchase

  • Resets on each new purchase within the window

  • Expires after 90 days of inactivity


Client Status Types

Each client is assigned a status:

  • Referred → Actively attributed to you

  • Expired → Attribution window ended

  • Unassigned → No active attribution

  • External → Attributed to another partner


Attribution Protection

  • Promo codes cannot override attribution

  • Original referring partner keeps the trader attributed during the active window


Prohibited Activities

The following are strictly not allowed:

Self-Referrals

Creating accounts to generate your own commissions is prohibited.

Paid Advertising

You may not promote affiliate links using paid ads, including:

  • Google Ads

  • YouTube Ads

  • Facebook / Instagram Ads

  • Sponsored placements


Fraud Detection System

FundingTraders uses a risk scoring system instead of simple blocking rules.

Each transaction is evaluated based on multiple signals.

Risk Score Ranges

  • 0–59 → Approved automatically

  • 60–79 → Frozen for manual review

  • 80+ → Automatically revoked


Risk Signals (Examples)

The system evaluates combinations of:

  • IP similarity

  • Device fingerprint matches

  • VPN/proxy usage

  • Payment method overlap

  • Traffic source (including paid ads)

No single signal automatically triggers penalties—decisions are based on combined patterns.


Compliance Review Process

When a transaction is flagged:

  • Commission is marked as Frozen

  • It enters manual review

  • Partner is notified

Possible Outcomes

After review, one of the following actions is taken:

  • Approved → Commission released

  • Warning → Commission revoked with notice

  • Final Warning → Serious violation warning

  • Suspension → Account restricted for repeated abuse


Data Privacy

To protect users:

  • No personal data is exposed

  • Only public identifiers are shown (Trader ID, Purchase ID)


Important Terms

By participating, partners agree to:

  • Affiliate Terms of Service

  • Fraud and compliance policies

Violations may result in:

  • Commission loss

  • Account suspension


FAQs

Can I run ads to promote my affiliate link?

No. Paid advertising is strictly prohibited and may result in commission revocation.


What happens if my commission is frozen?

It means the transaction is under review. You’ll be notified once a decision is made.


How does the system detect fraud?

The system uses a multi-signal risk scoring engine that evaluates behavior patterns instead of relying on single rules.
