Looks like a Ponzi scheme

Looks like a Ponzi scheme.
I had a 1000$ account to test the legitimacy of the company, and I was paid out after passing the evaluation. I then tried for a 100k account and passed and they have dodged me on my 10k payout. I would not trust this website. I unfortunately have lost 3k. Maybe they are looking for additional funding until they pay me, but I doubt it.

Unfortunately this is a ponzi scheme site and they don't respect terms and conditions. Payouts don't come, and they disappear - buying time with vague answers. They use multiple accounts to flood message in the chat to make it look like customer, but it's the same person changing usernames to hide messages they don't like.

They just flushed all their discord channel and don't answer emails. They have just gone offline most likely for a few months hoping current customer forget about them and will start their scam business again at some point.

DON'T FALL FOR THIS SHIT ITS A SCAM!!!!

It's an absolute scam. I put the Test Outline into ChatGPT, and the chances of you passing one of their tests is less than .5%. And Even if you do, they can remove you immediately for any bullshit technicality. Plus it makes no sense, so they want to fund you because they want to make money on profitable sports bettors.....but they also...are the casino?

I had a really disappointing experience…

I had a really disappointing experience with Funded Sports Trader. Before committing to a purchase, I wanted to explore their dashboard to understand what games and odds they offer, but they flat-out refused to provide a demo account. Their customer support was unhelpful, dismissing my request without any consideration. This lack of transparency is a major red flag, how can they expect customers to trust their platform when they won’t even let you see what you’re signing up for? The limited betting options mentioned in other reviews, like only a few sports and leagues, already had me skeptical, and this just sealed the deal. I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a more open and customer-friendly platform.

Total scam

1. Fake posts by their partners. One of the original posts was deleted by them after being exposed.

2. They will find random errors with your bets, then tell you they don't count towards your profit total.
When you put the bet in, win and shows up on your account, you think you're up in profit. Weeks later, when you try to cash out, they tell you the bet didn't go in. But you won't know that till 4 weeks later. But how do you ever know if it was placed in the first place? OR even worse, maybe they did play the game you selected, won the bet, but they tell you it didn't go through. That way they don't have to pay you. Either way, youre screwed because theres just no way to ever see it.

3. They claim to be transparent but they are never clear on their discord. It takes forever for them to respond to questions in the discord. Theres one guy in there who has been waiting for almost a month for a response from an email he sent. Not professional at all.

Try a different site. whatever you do, do not use thefundedsportstrader nonsense scam site.

Great experience with FST so far

I've had a really positive experience with FST. The platform they use to facilitate challenges is super well-organized, making it easy to track progress through each phase. That structure really helps keep you disciplined and stay within their parameters.

Their support team has been solid — quick to respond and genuinely helpful when it comes to resolving issues or answering questions. It’s clear they care and know their stuff.

The payout process was smooth and hassle-free, which is always a plus.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to implement more markets into the system as the platform continues to grow — I’d love to see that as I continue my journey with FST.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend FST to anyone looking to access a larger bankroll, manage risk more comfortably, and generate income with a company that’s transparent, responsive, and has a clean, professional system in place

Pretty satisfied all in all

Pretty satisfied all in all. Got two payouts paid out (120$ and 660$) which took about 3 days to arrive on my side.
For everyone who has a edge in sports betting, would recommend trying the firm out. Get a small challenge to see if you like it.

Only downside is limited league/competitions.

This company is legit

This company is legit. I passed the challenge and got paid plus my deposit back. I'm only going with 4 stars and not 5 cause their payout process is pretty slow. It's not like most major sportsbooks where you can request a withdrawal whenever and get paid in a few hours. And yes they sometimes have tech issues but so does every company even the biggest ones. They don't respond very well to email- got to use the discord chat to resolve stuff. Other than that it's great.

The people on here complaining about it simply aren't profitable sports bettors. If that's the case then this company can't help you.

If you are profitable then getting a funded account with them is the best way to take your sports betting to the next level.

Likely Ponzi Scheme - BEWARE!!!

Please be careful with these Company's. I tried Player Profit and my belief is that these are scam company's. They have very little betting options and make it almost impossible for you to win the challenge. I agree this is most likely a Ponzi scheme. A true betting platform would try to give you every advantage to win so they could benefit from your winnings. All they want is the fee you pay to enter the "contest" over and over again. They have no intention of ever paying you anything.

Hi Robert,

We appreciate your feedback, but we want to clarify a few important points.

First and foremost, we are not Player Profit and have no affiliation with them. It seems there may be some confusion here. After checking our records, we could not find your name or account in our system, which suggests you may not have actually used our platform.

We are a legitimate challenge-based evaluation service, and we take the integrity of our platform very seriously. We offer real payouts to users who complete our challenges successfully, and we’ve paid out numerous traders who followed the rules and met the profit targets fairly.

Our trading options are carefully selected based on market liquidity and data reliability from large sportsbooks. While it may not include every single market, we focus on the most stable and trackable options to ensure a fair experience.

Regarding your Ponzi scheme claim:
This is simply false. We do not operate using any form of investment or payout cycle that characterizes a Ponzi scheme. We make revenue from challenge entry fees and pay out successful users from business operating funds, just like any performance-based evaluation model in the trading space.

If you believe you have us confused with another platform, we encourage you to reach out directly to confirm. And if you’ve ever actually used our service under a different name or email, we’d be happy to look into your account.

Thanks again,
The Funded Sports Trader Team

Fraudulent and Scam-like Behavior

Besides the conditions of the challenges being stacked against the user so that the user will never make it to a payday (even after being "funded"), the platform itself violates its own terms and conditions to make it even more likely that you lose. The "trades" are graded at random and sometimes very long delays. You could win 7 out of 10 bets that you have placed on the day, but the system might decide to grade the 3 losing bets first, and claim you went below a drawdown limit, even if you are well clear of it having won the majority of bets. Additionally, the data between their own reporting dashboards is inconsistent. I lost a challenge for going below the maximum drawdown, yet the balance tracker (which updates after every bet is settled) never shows my balance going below that threshold throughout the entire day. I would not recommend, and strongly encourage you to take your business elsewhere.

I had a very disappointing experience with Funded Sports Trader. The services did not meet expectations, and the company lacks transparency and reliability. Communication was poor, and the overall experience felt unprofessional. I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a trustworthy trading company.

Utterly dispicable

I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by Funded Sports Trader. The recent settlement of bets for the match between Reilly Opelka and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was handled incorrectly. The match concluded several hours before the reported settlement time of 4 am EST, leading to a fundamental error in my betting outcome.

And this was not the only issue. On multiple occasions, bets have been settled incorrectly, forcing me to chase them up to correct their mistakes. This consistent pattern of errors demonstrates a lack of organisation and reliability.

Their repeated mishandling of bets and failure to address these problems in a timely manner makes them appear more like a disorganised ponzi scheme than a professional service. I cannot recommend Funded Sports Trader to anyone seeking a trustworthy and efficient platform.

Save yourself the frustration and take your business elsewhere.

Just light your money on fire instead

VERY small range of bets to make, you’re cutting your chances of being successful down to almost nothing by using this service. No parlays, no live bets, only 4 or 5 sports, only THREE soccer leagues out of the 100’s there are. You can’t even cancel a bet before the game starts if you made a mistake. You’d think for a company who has their customers do all the work and takes 30% while doing nothing, they would have some good customer service, no. They act like you’re the enemy. Don’t waste your time here, there are other options for you.
