Payout rules
Prop firm payout rules before you buy.
A high profit split is only useful if the trader can actually withdraw. TSB treats payout timing, caps, buffers, KYC, payment method, and consistency rules as part of the real price.

How to read this rule
Payout rules decide whether a passed challenge becomes useful. A trader should read payout pages before checkout, not after reaching funded status.
TSB separates payout information from promo ranking because a discount is much less valuable if the payout path has caps, delays, or consistency traps that do not fit the trader.
Before checkout, verify
- What is the first payout timing and recurring payout cadence?
- Is there a payout cap, safety buffer, or consistency rule?
- Does the profit split change after the first payout or scaling milestone?
- Which payout methods and KYC countries are supported?
FAQ
Payout rules questions
Should I choose the highest profit split?
Not by itself. Profit split should be compared with first payout timing, caps, consistency rules, payout method, and the probability of keeping the account active.
Are payout rules stable?
They can change. TSB keeps source coverage visible and treats payout details as checkout-sensitive unless there is an official source snapshot.
