TL;DR: RebelsFunding (often written Rebels Funding) is a Slovak forex and CFD prop firm run by RIFM, s.r.o. in Bratislava. It sells five one-time-fee evaluation programs with no time limit, all traded on its own RF-Trader platform (TradingView charts, no MetaTrader): Copper (four 5% phases), Bronze (three 5% phases), Silver (8% then 5%), Gold (one 10% phase, no daily drawdown during the evaluation) and Diamond (a 10% Level 0 that unlocks eight scaling levels up to $530,000). On October 11, 2026 the price selector showed list prices from $79 to $939 and the NEWREBEL code at 40% off, which cut them to $47 to $563. Funded (RCF) accounts pay 75% to 80% at first, rising to 90% on most programs, with the first request 14 days after the first funded trade, a $50 minimum, and a 200%, 150% or 100% fee refund bonus on Copper, Bronze and Silver. Trustpilot shows 4.2 from 2,825 reviews; most complaints are about the platform, not payouts. Prop Firm Match does not list the firm. Every account is simulated, and passing does not guarantee a funded account.
Research status: Checked against the RebelsFunding home page, program pages, the “All the rules” page (version 3.1, last updated August 11, 2026), the FAQ (updated August 12, 2026), the General Terms and Conditions (effective August 13, 2026), the KYC page, the competition terms and the live price selector on October 11, 2026. Trustpilot, Prop Firm Match, Reddit and the competition leaderboard were read the same day. Prices were read from the firm’s public pages and were not verified by purchase. Prices, codes and rules change often, so recheck them at checkout.
RebelsFunding review verdict
RebelsFunding’s offer is built around two ideas: no deadline on any paid evaluation, and very low entry prices on multi-phase programs. A $40,000 Copper account listed at $135 and sold for $81 with the NEWREBEL code on October 11, 2026. That is cheap per dollar of simulated capital, but you pay for it in steps: Copper needs four separate 5% phases and four qualifying trades in each one before you reach a funded account.
The rules are published in one place and are more detailed than most firms’. The “All the rules” page gives each program its own 10-point rule set, with worked examples for drawdown, a precise definition of a “real trade”, leverage tables by instrument, and separate evaluation and funded-stage rules. The two that catch people out are the real-trade count (split entries and correlated pairs count as one trade) and the funded-stage limit of 1.5% risk per trade idea.
The main trade-offs are the platform and the funded-account gate. You can only trade on RF-Trader, the firm’s own TradingView-based web platform; there is no MetaTrader, cTrader or Expert Advisor support, and platform lag is the most common complaint on Trustpilot. Passing an evaluation only makes you eligible for a review, identity check and a separate three-party contract before a funded (RCF) account opens. BestProps does not give RebelsFunding a numeric score in this review. If you buy, pick the program whose rules match how you already trade, and keep records of every phase.
Is Rebels Funding legit? Company, contract and simulated model
RebelsFunding is a registered, operating business with a published legal entity, address, terms, KYC process and a working checkout. Whether it suits you depends on the rules and the platform, covered below. Here is who you deal with, as the firm describes it.
| Party named by the firm | Role | Where it is stated |
|---|---|---|
| RIFM, s.r.o. (Landererova 8, Bratislava – Staré Mesto 811 09, Slovakia; Company ID 48 116 700; VAT SK2120056059) | Operates RebelsFunding and provides the evaluation service. Runs KYC and decides on funded-account activation. | Terms and Conditions section 1.1, contact page, KYC page |
| FRCSM, s.r.o. | Second party on the RCF Account Contract. RIFM and FRCSM “jointly act as the Provider” for funded cooperation. | Program rules page and FAQ |
| FDCTech | Named on the About page as the development partner behind the RF-Trader platform. | About page |
The About page names Marek Soska as founder and CEO and says the team has traded full time since 2011 and ran trading courses from 2015 before launching RebelsFunding. The home page says the firm launched in 2023, has paid out “$3M+” and has “30K+” traders. Those totals are the firm’s own claims and BestProps could not check them.
All accounts are simulated. The FAQ says “All Evaluation and RCF Accounts provided to traders are fully simulated accounts displaying real market quotations” and that “RebelsFunding is not a broker and program purchases are not deposits.” A payout is a reward paid under the RCF Account Contract, not a withdrawal of your own trading capital. The firm also says any proprietary trading by its group companies is separate and does not decide whether you are paid.
Points worth knowing before you pay, from the General Terms and Conditions (effective August 13, 2026):
- The program fee is a payment for a service and is not refundable if you stop, fail or breach the rules, unless mandatory law or a program’s own refund bonus says otherwise.
- EU consumers have a 14-day withdrawal right on distance contracts, but it can end once you ask for the service to start and it is provided.
- A chargeback without a legitimate reason can lead to refused orders and cancelled services.
- One Client Zone profile per person. Duplicate profiles to get around limits or promotions are prohibited.
- Slovak law governs the terms, with disputes before Slovak courts, while keeping mandatory consumer protections where you live.
On reputation, see the Trustpilot, Reddit and Prop Firm Match section. Short answer: a large review base, mostly positive, a steady stream of platform complaints, a small number of unverified claims about funded accounts not being issued, and no listing on Prop Firm Match.
RebelsFunding programs compared
The firm sells five paid programs, plus a free trial and a monthly competition. The table uses the “All the rules” page (version 3.1) and the FAQ, read October 11, 2026. “RCF” is the firm’s name for the funded stage.
| Rule | Copper | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Diamond |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phases | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | Level 0, then RCF levels 1 to 8 |
| Profit target | 5% in each phase | 5% in each phase | 8%, then 5% | 10% | 10% on every level |
| Daily drawdown | 5% (evaluation and RCF) | 5% (evaluation and RCF) | 5% (evaluation and RCF) | None in evaluation, 4% on RCF | None |
| Overall drawdown (fixed, on equity) | 10% | 10% | 10% | 6% | 6% |
| Minimum real trades | 4 per phase | 5 per phase | 6 per phase | 8 | 5 on Level 0 only |
| Time limit | None | None | None | None | None |
| Starting profit split | 80%, up to 90% | 80%, up to 90% | 75%, up to 90% | 75%, up to 90% | 75% |
| Fee refund bonus (with first reward) | 200% | 150% | 100% | None | 100% after Level 0 |
| Evaluation leverage, major FX | 1:200 | 1:200 | 1:100 | 1:50 | 1:50 |
| Sizes in the price selector | $40k, $80k, $160k, $320k | $20k, $40k, $80k, $160k | $10k, $20k, $40k, $80k | $5k, $10k, $20k, $40k | $5k, $10k, $20k start |
How they differ in practice:
- Copper and Bronze spread the work over more, smaller targets. A 5% target with a 10% overall drawdown gives a 2:1 ratio of room to target in every phase, but you need four or three clean phases in a row, and the trade-count rule applies in each.
- Silver is the conventional two-step: 8% then 5%, with the same 5% daily and 10% overall limits.
- Gold is the only single-phase evaluation. It has no daily drawdown while you are being evaluated, but the overall limit is a tighter 6% against a 10% target, there is no fee refund, and a 4% daily limit switches on once funded.
- Diamond works like a semi-instant account: pass one 10% Level 0, then every further 10% creates a larger account automatically, but the split stays at 75%. See the Diamond section.
Rebels Funding pricing and the current NEWREBEL code
The program pages load their prices from a selector hosted on rf-zone.rebelsfunding.com. On October 11, 2026 every card in it carried a “-40% NEWREBEL” badge, with the list price struck through and the discounted price beside it. The home page banner the same day read “40% OFF on Your First Challenge”. BestProps did not complete a purchase, so these are the prices shown before checkout.
| Program and size | List price | Price shown with NEWREBEL (-40%) | Discounted price per $10,000 of simulated capital |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper $40,000 | $135 | $81 | $20.25 |
| Copper $80,000 | $259 | $155 | $19.38 |
| Copper $160,000 | $499 | $299 | $18.69 |
| Copper $320,000 | $939 | $563 | $17.59 |
| Bronze $20,000 | $104 | $62 | $31.00 |
| Bronze $40,000 | $179 | $107 | $26.75 |
| Bronze $80,000 | $344 | $206 | $25.75 |
| Bronze $160,000 | $669 | $401 | $25.06 |
| Silver $10,000 | $80 | $48 | $48.00 |
| Silver $20,000 | $130 | $78 | $39.00 |
| Silver $40,000 | $230 | $138 | $34.50 |
| Silver $80,000 | $420 | $252 | $31.50 |
| Gold $5,000 | $79 | $47 | $94.00 |
| Gold $10,000 | $114 | $68 | $68.00 |
| Gold $20,000 | $184 | $110 | $55.00 |
| Gold $40,000 | $319 | $191 | $47.75 |
| Diamond $5,000 start | $190 | $114 | $228.00 |
| Diamond $10,000 start | $360 | $216 | $216.00 |
| Diamond $20,000 start | $690 | $414 | $207.00 |
The discounted prices are 60% of list, rounded down to the dollar. The per-$10,000 column shows why Copper and Bronze look so cheap: the more phases, the lower the price per dollar of capital. Diamond is the most expensive per dollar because you are paying for a short path to a funded account and automatic scaling.
What the code and discounts apply to, from the firm’s pages:
- NEWREBEL: shown on every program card. The home banner describes the 40% as applying to “your first challenge”. No end date was published on October 11, 2026.
- Older banner: the programs overview page still showed “Limited-Time 30% Discount, available for all programs” with a countdown stuck at zero. The selector and the home banner both showed 40%, so treat the 30% banner as stale and trust the total shown at checkout.
- Promotion limits: the FAQ and terms say a promotion can be limited by program, size, number of purchases, country, payment method or date, and that the breakdown shown before you confirm the order decides the price.
- Retry discounts: there is no fixed discount after a failed evaluation. The Client Zone’s Achievements system “may” generate a personal offer, with a dynamic amount and expiry.
- Loyalty: the terms describe a free Rebels Club loyalty discount, applied automatically by rank, and RebelsFunding Credits, a non-cash balance usable only against future purchases. Neither can be withdrawn.
- Recurring fees: the FAQ says there is no monthly fee for keeping a paid evaluation active. Your bank, card issuer or blockchain network can still add its own charges.
- Payment methods: the FAQ lists payment card, bank transfer, supported cryptocurrency or a regional method, depending on country.
BestProps did not find any separate reset or activation fee on the program pages, rules or FAQ. RebelsFunding does not publish a paid reset; a failed phase means buying a new program. Coupon sites list other RebelsFunding codes that BestProps could not confirm with the firm, so they are not reprinted here.
Worked cost example: a trader buys Copper $40,000 for $81 with NEWREBEL. The fee refund bonus is 200% of the program fee, paid with the first eligible funded reward. If the firm calculates it on the amount actually paid, that is $162 back on top of the profit share. The rules do not say whether “program fee” means the list price or the discounted price, so ask support before you rely on a specific number. The BestProps discount savings calculator can model other sizes.
Evaluation rules: targets, real trades and drawdown
Profit target and time. Profit counts only after positions are closed and credited to the balance. There is no deadline to activate a paid account or to reach a target, on any program. The FAQ says you can take “a short period or several months”.
Minimum real trades. This is the rule most worth reading twice. Each phase needs a minimum number of “real trades”: 4 on Copper, 5 on Bronze, 6 on Silver, 8 on Gold and 5 on Diamond Level 0. A real trade is “one complete and independent trading idea”, not one position. The firm gives examples of what still counts as a single trade:
- three EURUSD buy entries during the same move;
- one intended position split into several smaller orders;
- EURUSD and GBPUSD trades based on the same US dollar view;
- adding to a position without a new, separate setup.
The account may close automatically as soon as the target is hit, so you need the full trade count before you reach the target. If you do not have it, a manual review can require you to repeat the phase. Opening tiny extra trades to pad the count is treated as artificial splitting, which can also be read as a prohibited strategy.
Overall drawdown. The limit is fixed to the initial account size and includes open profit and loss. It does not trail upward as you make money. On Copper, Bronze and Silver it is 10%; on Gold and Diamond it is 6%.
Daily drawdown. Measured from the equity snapshot at the daily rollover, including open positions. The rules page puts the reset at 00:00 chart time, which is 21:00 UTC in summer and 22:00 UTC in winter. Copper, Bronze and Silver use 5% in evaluation and funded stages. Gold has none during evaluation and 4% once funded. Diamond has none at any stage.
Breach. Hitting either limit closes open positions, switches the account to read-only and ends that phase or funded account. A positive balance after a breach does not give a right to a partial payout.
Other evaluation rules:
- Every paid evaluation trade must stay open at least 30 seconds. One accidental quick close may be reviewed in context; repeated sub-30-second trading is not allowed.
- News trading is allowed during evaluation.
- Overnight and weekend holding are allowed during evaluation and on funded accounts.
- No new trade or pending order in the last 5 minutes before an instrument’s market closes.
- Stop loss and take profit are recommended but not mandatory.
- Expert Advisors and automated systems are not supported on paid evaluation or funded accounts.
- Prohibited: hedging between accounts, people or firms; external hedging; delayed or manipulated price feeds; latency, gap or swap arbitrage; martingale and one-sided position multiplication; gambling-style exposure; account sharing or account management.
There is no consistency score on the evaluations. The real-trade minimum does the job a consistency rule does elsewhere: it stops one oversized trade from passing a phase.
Worked drawdown and target examples
These examples apply the published percentages to a starting balance. They show the arithmetic only; the platform’s own figures decide a breach.
| Program and size | Target per phase | Daily floor on day one | Fixed overall floor | Room below start vs target above |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper $40,000 | $2,000 (5%) in each of 4 phases | $38,000 (5% of $40,000 starting equity) | $36,000 (10%) | $4,000 vs $2,000 |
| Bronze $80,000 | $4,000 (5%) in each of 3 phases | $76,000 | $72,000 | $8,000 vs $4,000 |
| Silver $20,000 | $1,600 (8%), then $1,000 (5%) | $19,000 | $18,000 | $2,000 vs $1,600, then $1,000 |
| Gold $10,000 | $1,000 (10%) | No daily limit in evaluation | $9,400 (6%) | $600 vs $1,000 |
| Diamond $10,000 Level 0 | $1,000 (10%) | No daily limit | $9,400 (6%) | $600 vs $1,000 |
The daily floor moves with each day’s starting equity. If a Copper $40,000 account closes a day at $41,000 equity, the next day’s daily floor is $38,950 (5% of $41,000), while the overall floor stays at $36,000.
The Gold and Diamond rows show the real constraint on those programs. The target is larger than the room you have below the starting balance, and the floor never trails up. One bad day early on, before any profit cushion, can end the account. The BestProps drawdown calculator and daily loss limit calculator can model your own position sizes against these limits. For background on fixed limits, see static vs trailing drawdown.
Funded (RCF) account rules
Once a funded account is active, the drawdown limits stay (Gold’s daily limit switches on at 4%), and four more rules apply:
- Maximum risk of 1.5% per trade idea. The risk on one trade, or one group of related trades, must not exceed 1.5% of the account balance when the first trade of the group opened. Related trades include split entries, additions to the same idea and positions on strongly correlated instruments. Without a stop loss, the firm judges risk by the largest floating or realised loss of the idea. The firm recommends normal risk near 0.5%.
- Minimum 60-second hold. Every funded trade must stay open at least 60 seconds (double the evaluation minimum).
- High-impact news. No new trade or pending order in the 5 minutes before a red high-impact event in the TradingView calendar inside RF-Trader or the Client Zone. You can hold, manage or close existing positions, and there is no restriction after the release.
- No minimum trade count before a payout request.
Worked example: on a funded Copper $40,000 account, 1.5% is $600. If you open three EURUSD buys during one move with stops $250 away each, the firm treats them as one idea risking $750, which is over the limit even though each order risks less than $600. At the recommended 0.5%, normal risk would be about $200 per idea.
Leverage by program and account size
Leverage is set by instrument group and stage. On Copper and Bronze funded accounts it also falls as the individual account gets larger.
| Instrument group | Copper / Bronze evaluation | Silver evaluation | Gold / Diamond Level 0 | Silver, Gold, Diamond RCF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Major FX pairs | 1:200 | 1:100 | 1:50 | 1:50 |
| Cross FX pairs | 1:150 | 1:75 | 1:37 | 1:25 |
| Exotic FX pairs | 1:100 | 1:50 | 1:25 | 1:25 |
| Metals | 1:25 | 1:25 | 1:15 | 1:15 |
| Stock indices | 1:25 | 1:25 | 1:15 | 1:15 |
| Energies | 1:5 | 1:5 | 1:5 | 1:5 |
| Stocks | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 |
| Cryptocurrencies | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 |
| Copper and Bronze RCF, by individual account size | Below $80k | $80k | $160k | $320k and above (Copper only) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Major FX pairs | 1:100 | 1:50 | 1:25 | 1:5 |
| Cross FX pairs | 1:50 | 1:25 | 1:10 | 1:5 |
| Exotic FX pairs | 1:25 | 1:25 | 1:10 | 1:5 |
| Metals and stock indices | 1:15 | 1:15 | 1:5 | 1:5 |
| Energies | 1:5 | 1:5 | 1:5 | 1:5 |
| Stocks and crypto | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 | 1:2.5 |
The practical effect: a $320,000 Copper funded account at 1:5 can hold at most about $1.6 million of FX exposure, so very large positions are capped by margin before the 1.5% risk rule even applies. Current symbol specifications are shown inside RF-Trader.
How the Diamond program levels work
Diamond starts with a paid Level 0 evaluation at $5,000, $10,000 or $20,000. Reach 10% with at least 5 real trades, pass the review and sign the funded contract, and you get 100% of the program fee back as a bonus. Every further 10% on a funded level creates the next, larger account automatically. You do not have to wait 14 days to move up, and more than one level can be completed in a week.
| Level | $5k start | $10k start | $20k start | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0 (paid evaluation) | $5,000 | $10,000 | $20,000 | 10% |
| Level 1 | $5,000 | $10,000 | $20,000 | 10% |
| Level 2 | $8,000 | $16,000 | $32,000 | 10% |
| Level 3 | $12,500 | $25,000 | $50,000 | 10% |
| Level 4 | $20,000 | $40,000 | $80,000 | 10% |
| Level 5 | $32,000 | $65,000 | $130,000 | 10% |
| Level 6 | $52,000 | $105,000 | $210,000 | 10% |
| Level 7 | $82,000 | $165,000 | $330,000 | 10% |
| Level 8 | $132,000 | $265,000 | $530,000 | 10% |
Rules that set Diamond apart: no daily drawdown on any level, a fixed 6% overall drawdown on each account, a 75% split that does not rise, and no trade minimum after Level 0. Funded levels follow the 1.5% risk, 60-second and news rules above. The 14-day payout clock runs separately for each level’s account.
Worked example: a $10,000 Diamond start costs $216 with NEWREBEL. Hitting 10% ($1,000) on Level 0 earns the 100% fee refund bonus after approval. On Level 1 ($10,000), another $1,000 gain unlocks Level 2 ($16,000) and leaves $750 (75%) claimable once 14 days have passed since the first trade on the Level 1 account. Climbing all eight levels needs eight more clean 10% runs, each with only 6% of room below the account’s starting value.
Payouts, profit split and the fee refund bonus
| Payout term | What the firm publishes |
|---|---|
| First request | Not earlier than 14 calendar days after the first trade on that funded account. Counted separately for each account. |
| Minimum | $50. |
| Before requesting | Close all open positions on the account. The account must be active and within the rules. |
| Split | Copper and Bronze start at 80%, Silver and Gold at 75%, all “with the possibility of an increase up to 90%”. Diamond stays at 75%. |
| Fee refund bonus | 200% (Copper), 150% (Bronze), 100% (Silver), none (Gold), 100% after Level 0 (Diamond), paid with the first eligible funded reward. |
| Methods | “RiseWorks, a supported cryptocurrency method, bank transfer or another approved method”, depending on availability, jurisdiction and compliance checks. |
| Breach | No payout request from a terminated account, even if the balance is positive. |
The firm does not publish a fixed processing time for approved rewards, and the rules do not say what triggers the rise from 75% or 80% toward 90%. Ask support for the current criteria if the higher split matters to your numbers.
First payout walkthrough (Copper $40,000, bought for $81):
- Pass four 5% phases, each with at least four real trades.
- Complete the review, Veriff identity check, contract and proof of address (see KYC).
- Trade the funded account within the 1.5% risk, 60-second and news rules.
- After at least 14 calendar days from your first funded trade, close all positions. Suppose the account is up $1,600 (4%).
- Request the reward: 80% of $1,600 is $1,280, plus the 200% fee refund bonus. On an $81 fee that bonus would be $162, for $1,442 in total, before any payment provider fees.
The BestProps payout readiness checklist can help you track the waiting period, closed positions, KYC status and payment method before you submit.
Scaling plan and allocation limits
Outside Diamond, the standard scaling plan lets you request a 25% increase of the original account value after at least 15% total profit over 3 consecutive months on Copper and Bronze, or 4 consecutive months on Silver and Gold, with at least two profitable months in the period.
Two caps apply. The largest single evaluation account is $320,000. And one trader’s total active funded allocation, across every program, every account and every scale-up, cannot exceed $640,000. Diamond levels count toward that $640,000.
The program marketing pages still say successful traders can grow an account “up to 200% of the initial value”. The rules page, which the firm says is authoritative, only describes the 25% step. See source conflicts. For how other firms handle this, see the BestProps guide to prop firm scaling plans.
RebelsFunding trading platform, app and broker question
Platform. RebelsFunding uses one platform: RF-Trader, its own web platform built on TradingView charts. The FAQ says “RF-Trader is not MetaTrader, cTrader or a retail brokerage account.” There is no MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXtrade or TradeLocker option, and Expert Advisors are not supported. Since July 2026 you can also trade inside the RF-Zone client area without opening the standalone platform.
App. There is no separate MetaTrader-style download. RF-Trader runs in the browser, with separate PC and mobile links in the RF-Trader guide. The firm recommends Google Chrome, which can install the web app on your device after login. The firm’s own release notes call the mobile version the “RF-Trader Mobile App”.
The platform is changing quickly. The firm’s update log lists releases on October 8, October 2, September 21, September 17 and September 6, 2026, adding chart trading, per-symbol volume and stop-loss memory, trade-history filters and mobile order management. Trustpilot complaints from September and October 2026 still mention lag, disconnects and missing MT5. In one reply the firm told a trader in India to use its Europe server rather than Singapore.
Broker. RebelsFunding is not a broker and you do not pick one. The firm says RF-Trader shows real market quotes through third-party infrastructure from a liquidity provider, and all accounts are simulated. You cannot choose a server, broker or liquidity source beyond the regional server option. If you need MetaTrader or TradingView-broker connectivity, compare prop firms that support TradingView.
Instruments, commissions and weekend trading
RF-Trader lists forex, metals, energies, cryptocurrencies, stocks and stock indices. The trading instruments page shows, for example, EURUSD with variable raw spreads, a commission of $2 per $100,000 traded (1 in, 1 out), swap-free status and 0.01 minimum lots. Spreads, commissions, swaps and hours vary by symbol and can change; check the specification inside RF-Trader before trading.
- Swap-free: the rules page says 28 FX pairs and metals are swap-free; the home page says 32. The live symbol specification decides.
- Weekend crypto: you can hold crypto positions over the weekend but cannot open new crypto trades
