Red Flags & Green Flags

Report an error

Red Flag or Green Flag? Every call follows fixed criteria and shows its source. What our sources cannot answer stays "Unclear". Flags are never added up – there is no score.

  • Unclear

    Is the firm on a regulator's warning list?

    A documented check against the warning lists is not on record for this firm yet.

  • Unclear

    Was there a documented payout stop, sales stop or closure (24 months)?

    No such event is documented in our sources. That is not proof there was none.

  • Unclear

    Do rule changes apply to new purchases only?

    No dated rule change with a cut-off is recorded for this firm yet.

  • Green Flag

    Rules fully visible without logging in.

    Target, daily loss and max loss of every programme on sale are on the firm's public pages.

    faq.ftuk.com
  • Unclear

    Does the firm name its operating company with seat and registration number?

    We did not find a registration number for the operating company on the pages fetched.

  • Green Flag

    Discloses whether accounts are simulated or live.

    Per the checkout all accounts run exclusively in a simulated environment with no live market execution; per the terms FTUK provides no live trading itself but may, at its discretion, enter traders' trades in its own account. Per the homepage you trade simulated capital and get paid "real Rewards".

    checkout.ftuk.com
  • Green Flag

    Country exclusions and KYC timing are visible before buying.

    Country list public (10 countries excluded). KYC: Identity verification in the trader dashboard only when you are ready to request a payout; not at purchase or start.

    faq.ftuk.com
  • Green Flag

    Payouts possible in other ways than crypto.

    faq.ftuk.com
  • Green Flag

    Refund terms are public.

    Per the FAQ "non-refundable under any circumstances" once purchased; per the terms (section 19) no refunds when leaving or being terminated. The checkout calls fees "generally non-refundable except where required by law", yet shows "One-time 100% refundable fee" for Instant Funding without conditions. The linked refund-policy pages on ftuk.com and checkout.ftuk.com were unreachable (404) on 3 Nov 2026.

    faq.ftuk.com
  • Unclear

    Do the terms carry a date or version?

    We do not record the date or version of the terms as a field yet.

The criteria

The criteria come from our transparency check. A Red Flag needs a documented fact – a missing item is never a Red Flag.

Red Flag

  • Named on an official regulator warning list (exact name match). A listing is not proof of wrongdoing.
  • Documented payout stop, sales stop or closure (firm or group company) in the last 24 months.
  • Documented retroactive rule change for accounts already bought, in the last 24 months.
  • Rules not fully visible without logging in or buying.
  • No operating company with name and seat named in the terms.

Green Flag

  • Rules fully visible without logging in.
  • Operating company published with name, seat and registration number.
  • Terms carry a date or version.
  • Rule changes apply to new purchases only, with a cut-off date; no documented retroactive change in 24 months.
  • Country exclusions and KYC timing are visible before buying.
  • Payouts possible in other ways than crypto.
  • Discloses whether accounts are simulated or live.
  • Refund terms are public.

We show the firm's age as a fact, not as a flag.

Paid challenge on a simulated account · the fee is usually lost when a rule is broken · firms are generally not supervised · CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
