How you get paid.
When, how much, where to, and what happens if something goes wrong. Published before anyone has paid us anything.
Pipstone Funded is a trading-skill evaluation programme.
All trading takes place on simulated accounts using live market data. No real capital is allocated and no trade reaches a real market. Traders who pass receive performance rewards, paid from Pipstone Funded's own funds, of up to 100% of their simulated profits.

The payout floor
How you pay, and how you get paid
Paying for an evaluation: USDT on TRC20. That is the only rail we can offer today — we do not have a card or e-wallet gateway partner yet, and we would rather say that than pretend it is a philosophy.
Getting paid: your choice of GCash, Maya, PayPal, Skrill or USDT. Payout methods are saved once at pipstone.ai and shared by all our products.
When a payout doesn't go through

Getting your fee back.
If you pay and your account does not appear
We retry automatically. Most provisioning delays are a confirmation still landing on-chain and resolve on their own.
If we can't open your account within 24 hours, your refund starts automatically. You don't need to ask.
