Editorial Policy
How review verdicts and ratings are formed, who writes them, and where the line sits between editorial content, affiliate content, and verified offer data.
Last reviewed Sep 18, 2026
What we publish
Three kinds of page, with a deliberately different job each: a firm hub (facts: programs, pricing, rules, payouts), a coupon page (the current verified code and its terms), and a review (our opinion). Facts and opinion are kept on separate pages so a review is never padded with promotional copy and a coupon page is never dressed up as an endorsement.
Three kinds of content, labelled as such
- Editorial content — reviews, ratings, verdicts, pros and cons, and guides. Written by the FundedHub Editorial Team and reflecting its judgement.
- Affiliate / commercial content — “Get deal” buttons and any link that takes you to a firm's checkout through a tracked link. Each carries an inline disclosure. We have affiliate relationships with some of the firms we cover and do not describe ourselves as independent of them.
- Verified offer data — codes, discounts, eligibility, timestamps and historical tables. This is produced by the verification process, not by editorial opinion or commercial arrangement: a code is listed because it worked at checkout and traces to the firm's own source.
How ratings are formed
Every review rating (0–5) is set by the named author against the same criteria:
- Rule clarity and fairness — are drawdown, profit-target and consistency rules stated plainly and applied as written?
- Pricing and value — challenge fee relative to account size, reset costs, and how often real discounts are available.
- Payout reliability — stated payout terms, methods, and any public evidence of delays or denials.
- Track record and transparency — years operating, ownership and location disclosure, rule-change history.
- Trading conditions and support — platforms, instruments, and responsiveness in our own contact with the firm.
The rating is the Editorial Team's overall judgement across these criteria. There is no fixed weighting formula; no single criterion mechanically sets the score, and the verdict text explains which factors mattered most for that firm.
What goes into a review
Initially, FundedHub will combine official firm information, public documentation, offer verification and ongoing monitoring. Any hands-on testing or purchased evaluations will be explicitly identified when they occur. We will not claim to have personally tested a program unless we actually have.
- The firm's own published rules and pricing, checked on the date shown on the review.
- The firm's checkout flow, which we go through as part of code verification.
- Publicly available trader reports, weighted by how verifiable they are.
We do not use star ratings or “X verified users” counters that are not tied to an auditable process, and we do not publish user reviews we cannot attribute.
Who writes reviews
Reviews are written by the FundedHub Editorial Team, a small independent editorial and research team based in Morocco, and carry that byline together with a last-updated date. Where an individual author contributes hands-on testing, the review will say so.
Affiliate relationships
FundedHub has affiliate relationships with some of the firms it covers and earns commissions when readers buy through tracked links (see the affiliate disclosure). We do not claim to be independent of those firms. What we do commit to:
- Affiliate relationships do not determine whether a firm is included in the database.
- Firms cannot pay for a review, a rating, or a position in a list.
- Firms do not see reviews before publication and cannot require changes to a verdict.
- Verified offer data is produced by the verification process, not by commercial arrangement; a code's commission has no bearing on whether it is listed.
- Affiliate content is labelled inline wherever it appears, so you can tell it apart from editorial content and from verified offer data.
Updates and corrections
Firm facts change. Hub pages record a last full audit date; reviews record a last-updated date. When a firm changes a rule or price materially, we update the page and, for reviews, note what changed. If we get something wrong, we correct it on the page and record the correction.
To report an error, contact hello@fundedhub.net. We aim to review reported issues within 48 hours and correct confirmed factual errors on the page.
Coupon codes
Codes follow a separate, stricter process: see the verification methodology. A code is never listed because of the commission attached to it.
