Rules, Attribution & Compliance

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

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

Tier-Based Attribution Window

Attribution starts when a trader makes their first qualifying purchase.

Attribution length depends on the partner’s current tier:

  • Starter: 90-day rolling attribution

  • Ambassador: 180-day rolling attribution

  • VIP: Lifetime attribution

For Starter and Ambassador partners, the attribution window resets each time the trader makes another qualifying purchase within the active window.|


Lead Attribution Before Purchase

Before a trader makes their first purchase, a 90-day initial attribution window may begin when they click a partner link, use a partner code, or register through partner tracking.

If they make their first purchase within that period, they become attributed to the relevant partner.

Before the first purchase, attribution may still change if the trader later uses another partner’s link or code.


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

After a trader makes their first purchase and is within an active attribution period, attribution cannot be overridden by:

  • another partner code

  • another partner link

  • later promotions

The original attributed partner keeps the trader during the active attribution 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.
