Update from Prop Firm Match | 2 November 2026
Over the past few days, many claims have been shared about Prop Firm Match, many of them before the full facts were available. Rather than respond to each one, we want to set the record straight with the facts our review has established so far.
This first update covers the referral redirect we disabled on 29 October.
What happened
When traders clicked on firm names or “Copy Code” in certain sections of our website, the interaction also opened the relevant firm's affiliate link. We disabled this functionality on 29 October.
What we have established so far
Based on our technical review to date:
• It did not operate without a user-initiated click.
• It opened only the affiliate link of the firm selected by the trader.
• It did not involve hidden iframes or invisible pixels.
• It operated within PFM's own website code and was not deployed on partner websites or through PFM badges or widgets on third-party sites.
• It did not change the prices traders paid or discounts they received.
• If a trader later clicked another affiliate’s link or used that affiliate’s code, under most of the attribution models reviewed, the sale would be credited to the last click or code used.
The potential impact
Our early, modelled estimate indicates that the potential impact on referral attribution represents a low single-digit percentage of the commissions Prop Firm Match earned, varying from partner to partner.
These are preliminary findings, not final figures. For each firm that takes part, we will review the findings individually to assess any potential impact specific to that firm.
What we're doing
We are inviting every firm we have worked with, both current and former partners, to review our findings against their own records.
Prop Firm Match continues to operate as normal. We encourage everyone to rely on verified information as our review continues.

Three years ago, Prop Firm Match launched. Two traders saw a gap in the market for a platform providing simplicity and transparency for prop firm traders. We developed new features not seen before: verified reviews, payout tracking across all payment methods, live spreads, rule overviews, simple ways to compare prop firms, and prop firm expos.
Three years in, PFM has had over 25M website visits, reached over 370,000 members, and has given out free challenge accounts worth over $1,400,000 to the PFM community. Over 100 firms apply to be listed each year and go through one of the industry’s most rigorous compliance processes.
We also got something wrong. Until yesterday, when someone clicked on a firm or a code on our site, a new tab would open the firm’s site through our affiliate link. This should not have happened. We take full responsibility for it. We have reached out to each of our partners to review this together and reconcile any inaccuracies. We respect any decisions firms have made based on this.
We truly appreciate the partners and traders who value the relationship we have built together over the years. We promise you that we will learn from this, hold ourselves to the highest standard, and come back stronger and better.
Trust is at the heart of what we do. We’re looking into the questions raised and will share a full statement within 24 hours.
Are we still on the "deceitful marketing algo"? Hey @PropFirmMatch, did you knowingly push an update that stuffs cookies when people aren’t clicking links advertised in the code as external websites?
Here’s what happens: someone clicks the profile page or copy code link that links to the internal page and your javascript handler redirects the original tab through an affiliate link to the firm’s website and opens the intended link a new tab... sounds pretty knowing to me.
You even ban your affiliates from forcing cookies.. but you can, huh?
Some pretty big affiliates have gone to prison for cookie stuffing.
I used @MattLeech's MFFU as an example in this video but this happens on most firms listed on their website (I didn't check them all).
Firms are banning traders for deceitful marketing, if this isn't deceitful what is?
One-sided betting means consistently trading in only one direction - exclusively buying (long) or selling (short) a market, rather than trading both sides. 📈📉
Some prop firms allow this strategy, while others restrict it under their trading rules. Always check each firm's specific policy before trading.
