How PropRubric Makes Money: Affiliate Links and Codes
PropRubric earns a commission when you buy a challenge through some of the “Visit” buttons on the site, because it has affiliate agreements with some of the crypto prop firms it tracks. You pay the firm’s own price, and the commission never changes a value, a score or a ranking. No firm pays to be listed, reviewed or ranked.
How does an affiliate link work on PropRubric?
An affiliate link pays PropRubric a commission from the firm when you buy after clicking it, and the price you pay is the price on the firm’s checkout. Every page with an affiliate link says so in one line near the top of the page. A firm without an agreement keeps a plain link to its own website, and its button looks the same as every other.
What can money never change?
Money can never change a value, a score or the order of a table on PropRubric, and four rules keep it that way.
- Values come from the firm’s own pages. A commission cannot move a drawdown figure or a price, because PropRubric records only what the firm publishes.
- Rankings use only the scoring fields. The five ranking criteria and their equal weights are published in the PropRubric verification method, and affiliate status is not one of them.
- Firms with and without an agreement are ranked the same way. A firm that pays nothing sits in the same table, computed by the same rule, as a firm that pays a commission.
- Table order follows the score or the reader’s filter. No table is sorted by commission, and no firm is placed first for paying.
Which firms does PropRubric have an affiliate agreement with?
PropRubric names every firm it has an affiliate agreement with, and the list below is built at each publish from the same file that sets the Visit buttons, so it cannot fall behind the buttons.
PropRubric has an affiliate agreement with 16 of the 28 firms it tracks, named here so you can see which Visit buttons can earn a commission: AquaFunded (Crypto) (code 10ar), Bitfunded, BrightFunded, Dolvero (code proprubric), FTMO, Funded Trader Markets (code proprubric), HyroTrader (code PROPRUBRIC), Mubite (code PROPRUBRIC), Propr (code G4X9IOZD), PropW, RebelsFunding (code PROPRUBRIC), SizeProp (code X9DG3I43), The5ers (code T1S8), TradeXProp (code proprubric), Upscale (code L85WP) and WenCrypto (code proprubric). Every other firm keeps a plain link to its own website, and a firm's place in a ranking does not change when an agreement starts or ends.
Does PropRubric publish sponsored reviews?
No, PropRubric does not accept payment for placements or reviews. A firm cannot buy a review, a position in a list or the removal of a finding, and no page carries a sponsored section.
A firm can send evidence that a value is wrong, and the evidence is checked against the firm’s published terms under the PropRubric corrections policy, which says how a correction is made and shown. Evidence changes values; money does not.
Does PropRubric publish discount codes?
Yes, PropRubric publishes its own codes and no one else’s. A PropRubric code is issued to PropRubric by the firm, appears on that firm’s review with what it gives and where it does not apply, and can earn PropRubric a commission. Where a firm runs a public promotion, the page records the list price, not the discount, because a promotion can end at any time.
No page earns money from a trading journal, course or signal service, because PropRubric sells none. Every code PropRubric holds, with what it gives, where it does not apply and the day its terms were last checked, is on the page of crypto prop firm discount codes.
