Verdict

Leveraged suits a forex or crypto trader outside the US who wants to try a one-step evaluation for $8.88 and pay the balance only after passing. It does not suit anyone who needs a regulated counterparty or checkable payout records: the contracting company is a 2025 Saint Lucia entity billing through a Limassol affiliate, and Spain’s CNMV relayed a CySEC warning naming getleveraged.com in April 2026. The biggest caveat is price. A $100,000 Turbo account still costs $549 in total, the same as the upfront Classic price.

Key terms, and where each number lives

• Challenge fee: Turbo costs $8.88 to start, then an activation fee payable within 30 days of passing, from $76.12 ($10,000) to $1,089.12 ($200,000), per the Turbo Program FAQ. Sprint is paid upfront, $49 ($10,000) to $439 ($100,000), per the Sprint page.
• Account sizes: Turbo to $200,000, Crypto to $150,000, Sprint to $100,000 and Executive Portfolio Manager to $1,000,000, with a combined cap of $1,555,000, per the capital allocation FAQ.
• Profit split: 80% on every funded account type, per the payouts and profit split page.
• Profit target: 6% on Turbo and Crypto, 2% on Sprint, 10% on Junior, 5% then 8% on Senior, and 6%, 8% then 10% on the three-step Executive programme.
• Maximum drawdown: 6% trailing on Turbo and Crypto, locking at the starting balance, per the trailing drawdown definition. Static limits are 1% on Sprint, 6% on Junior and Executive and 10% on Senior, per the absolute drawdown definition.
• Daily loss limit: 3% on Turbo, Crypto, Junior and Executive, 5% on Senior and 1% on Sprint. Each is measured from the higher of balance or equity at 23:00 GMT+3, per the daily drawdown definition.
• Payout frequency: first Turbo or Crypto request 14 calendar days after funded trading starts, then every 14 days; Sprint pays the first instantly; Classic pays bi-weekly.
• Minimum days: three days of 0.5%+ profit on each Classic phase and before any Turbo or Crypto payout; none on Sprint.

What the $8.88 actually buys

Turbo, sold as “Pay After You Pass”, charges $8.88 for the evaluation platform and credits it against the activation fee if you hit the 6% target inside the 3% daily and 6% trailing limits. There is no time limit.

The saving applies only to traders who fail. On a $100,000 account, $8.88 plus the $540.12 activation fee comes to $549.00. That matches the homepage Classic price for a $100,000 account paid upfront. Crypto costs more after passing: $640.12 on $100,000. Other pay-later models differ. FunderPro lists its $100,000 Classic 2-Phase at $539 “processed with 1st reward”, so the fee comes out of profits. Leveraged wants cash within 30 days of passing, or the funded offer lapses.

The refund terms conflict. The FAQ says the simulation fee is refunded after your third payout. The Terms of Use say all fees are non-refundable except under section 10, which covers only accounts untouched in their first 14 days. Assume the contract wins.

Our price comparison of $100K accounts across 23 firms puts $549 mid-pack for forex evaluations.

Payouts: what Leveraged publishes, and what we could not verify

Leveraged says payouts are processed within 48 hours of approval. Wire transfers and Revolut carry a $25 fee, and the other methods are crypto, debit card and “Loyalty Program Credits”, per its payout methods page. The homepage shows a static “Recent payouts” strip of ten traders, from $4,838.60 to $13,440.00, without dates.

A live feed tells a different story. The payout feed behind the product pages listed 12 payouts dated 10 to 14 September 2026 when we read it on 15 September. They totalled $4,128, with a median of $144.50 and a largest single payment of $1,800. Four of the 12 were paid as “Leveraged Credit with an extra 15%”, credit spent on the firm’s own products rather than cash. Six went out in crypto and two to Revolut.

Most outside praise has a commercial link. The site republishes an International Business Times piece labelled “Contributor Content” and displays awards from ForexPropReviews.com, which promotes a Leveraged discount code. Leveraged’s affiliate programme pays referrers up to 30% of first purchases plus recurring commission. Trustpilot blocked our automated retrieval, so we publish no score.

The marketing figures disagree with each other. The Turbo page claims “$100B” monthly volume and “50,000+” new portfolio managers; the Crypto page says “$1B” and “5,000+”. The Turbo page also lists $10,000 to $100,000 accounts while its FAQ prices Turbo to $200,000.

What we could not verify: any payout against a bank or blockchain record, total payouts to date, the pass rate, or whether any funded account trades live capital. The firm publishes none of these.

The rules that end accounts

The trailing drawdown lock. On Turbo and Crypto, the 6% floor trails your highest closed balance until you are 6% up, then locks at the starting balance, even after payouts. In Leveraged’s own example, making $5,000 on $100,000 and withdrawing $3,000 leaves a $2,000 buffer. Our Atmos Funded review covers the same mechanism at another firm.

The daily reference point. The daily limit resets from the higher of balance or equity at 23:00 GMT+3, so an open profit held through the reset raises the next day’s reference.

The 20% consistency score. On funded Turbo and Crypto accounts, your best day cannot exceed 20% of total profit when you request a payout, per the consistency rule. If it does, you keep trading until the ratio falls.

News and holding time. Every programme except Sprint bars opening, adding to or closing positions, including triggered pending orders, from five minutes before to five minutes after a high-impact release, per the news rule. The prohibited practices page sets a two-minute holding benchmark, bans grid, martingale and cross-firm hedging, and lets Leveraged treat several positions as one “trade idea”. Accounts idle for 30 days are closed.

The speech clause. Section 11.1(e) of the terms lets Leveraged terminate a trader who “makes any defamatory statements or publishes harmful content about Us or the Services”, including publishing private correspondence. Section 12.1 reserves the right to sue. Read both before complaining publicly.

Who runs Leveraged, and the CySEC warning

The Terms of Use name GetLeveraged Ltd as the contracting party; the footer gives its Saint Lucia company number, 2025-00808, and a Castries address. Billing runs through Leveraged Capital Management LTD at 13 Omonoias Street, Limassol, the street of the stated head office, and disputes go to the courts of the Republic of Cyprus. Founder and CEO Tal Fromchenko writes on the About page: “That’s why I founded Leveraged—a prop trading firm built to identify talent, provide training, and offer real capital.”

The contract describes something narrower. Section 5.3 of the terms says trading in the Simulation Phase “is entirely simulated and is not real” and calls the funds “fictitious”. Funded Portfolio Managers sign separate terms that we could not find published. On regulation, the firm’s brokerage FAQ says: “we are not regulated by CySEC or other financial regulatory authorities that oversee brokerage firms.”

The regulator has noticed. On 22 April 2026, Spain’s CNMV published a list of warnings about unregistered entities received from foreign supervisors. The list includes GETLEVERAGED.COM, with CySEC as the originating regulator. We could not load CySEC’s own site to read its original notice. Such a warning means the regulator treats the site as unauthorised, not that it has found wrongdoing. See our coverage of how regulators are closing in on retail prop trading and where the prop firm perimeter actually bites.

We found no evidence of a rebrand: WHOIS dates the domain to June 2014, but the firm’s dated review pages start in March 2025 and no earlier prop brand appears. Leveraged is unrelated to Sure Leverage Funding, a separate Saint Lucia company with a UAE operator, covered in our Sure Leverage Funding review. Residents of the United States and 29 other listed territories cannot sign up.

FAQ

Is Leveraged a legitimate prop firm? GetLeveraged Ltd is a registered Saint Lucia company, billing through a Cyprus affiliate, and it sells simulated evaluations on MT5 and cTrader. It is not regulated, and Spain’s CNMV relayed a CySEC warning about getleveraged.com in April 2026. Its payout feed shows recent small payouts, but none can be independently verified.

How does the $8.88 Turbo challenge work? You pay $8.88 to start a one-step evaluation with a 6% target, a 3% daily limit and a 6% trailing drawdown. If you pass, you pay an activation fee within 30 days. That fee is $540.12 on a $100,000 account, so the total is $549, the same as buying the account upfront.

How fast does Leveraged pay out? The firm says payouts are processed within 48 hours of approval. The first Turbo or Crypto request is only possible 14 calendar days after funded trading begins, and needs three 0.5% profitable days and a consistency score under 20%. Sprint allows an instant first payout. We could not verify real timings.

Is Leveraged regulated by CySEC? No. Its own FAQ says it is not regulated by CySEC or any other financial regulator, because it does not act as a broker. The CNMV’s April 2026 list of warnings from foreign supervisors includes getleveraged.com under CySEC. Accounts in the evaluation stage are simulated.

Can US traders join Leveraged? No. The United States heads the terms’ list of Forbidden Territories, alongside Russia, Israel, Iran, North Korea and about 25 others. Applicants must be at least 18 and pass KYC checks, which the terms say can happen at any time, particularly after the Simulation Phase.
