Compliance

Dark Funded operates a simulated trading skills assessment program. All accounts are simulated. No real capital is traded on behalf of participants. Dark Funded is not a licensed broker, investment adviser, financial institution, or regulated entity.

This compliance statement describes how Dark Funded operates in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where it offers its program, and sets out the standards we hold ourselves to in the areas of advertising, AML, data protection, and participant protection.

Dark Funded provides access to simulated (demo) trading environments for the purposes of skills assessment and education. Participants pay a program fee to access a simulated MT5-compatible trading environment. No participant funds are invested in financial markets. No real trades are executed on participants' behalf.

Participants who meet the conditions set out in the published program rules may qualify for simulated performance rewards. These rewards are contractual payments made by Dark Funded from its own funds — they are not investment returns, profits, or trading income. Program fees are not deposits, do not represent client funds, and do not generate returns, interest, or profit.

Dark Funded does not offer its program to residents of jurisdictions where participation would require a licence we do not hold, or where simulated trading programs of this type are prohibited by law.

The following jurisdictions are currently restricted:

• United States of America and its territories
• Iran
• Syria
• North Korea
• Myanmar
• Cuba
• Russia
• Belarus
• Any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive international sanctions

Residents of restricted jurisdictions may not register, purchase, or participate in the program. We reserve the right to close accounts and retain fees where a participant is found to be in a restricted jurisdiction, in accordance with our Terms of Service.

All Dark Funded marketing materials are required to meet the following standards:

• The simulated nature of all accounts and rewards must be clearly disclosed, above the fold, on all pages used as advertising destinations.
• No marketing material may guarantee income, trading profits, or investment returns.
• All reward amounts shown in verified records represent simulated program rewards paid per published rules — not investment returns or trading profits.
• Past performance records do not indicate or guarantee future results.
• Countdown timers used in promotions must reflect a genuine, fixed offer end date. Fabricated urgency is prohibited.
• No personal data (names, email addresses, wallet addresses) is included in advertising tracking events.

Dark Funded applies Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures and Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification before processing reward payments. Identity verification is conducted via SumSub. Full details are set out in our AML Policy and KYC Policy.

Dark Funded processes personal data in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable. Full details of how we collect, use, and store personal data are set out in our Privacy Policy.
