Should I choose by promo code first?

No. TSB keeps promo status separate from rule fit, payout context, source coverage, country availability, and external trust signals.

What should I verify before paying?

Check the official challenge rules, live checkout price, KYC and country availability, payout terms, refund rules, and platform support before buying an evaluation.

Comparison verdict

How to decide

E8 Crypto and FTMO are not the same buying intent. Start with market fit first, then compare rules, payout friction, and offer status.

E8 Crypto: E8 Crypto is mainly a crypto-market decision. Check KYC, exchange access, weekend rules, fees, and payout availability before price.
FTMO: FTMO is mainly a forex/CFD evaluation decision. Check MT4/MT5/cTrader access, daily loss, max loss, news rules, and payout conditions before price.

Do not skip

Rules before discounts: daily loss, max loss, trailing drawdown, payout timing, and minimum days matter more than a code.
Market intent first: futures combine pages and forex/CFD evaluations solve different trading problems.
Checkout last: check live price, country availability, KYC, and refund terms on the official checkout.
