Can you buy from Europe? That’s the first question.

Why eligibility comes first

Every prop firm keeps a list of countries it doesn’t serve, and that list changes. Many traders only find out at checkout, or worse, at payout, that a firm doesn’t accept their country. So before we talk about discounts, we check whether the firm serves traders in Europe.

Eligibility is checked per program, not per firm. One brand can sell one program in Europe and not another. When a firm’s terms exclude a program everywhere in Europe, that program isn’t listed here.

How we check Europe

1. The firm’s own terms and restricted-country list. We read the terms, help centre or restricted-country list on the firm’s own site, copy the relevant passage word for word with a link, and record the date we read it.
2. Excluded countries are shown. A firm is listed when its own list doesn’t exclude Europe. If it excludes some European countries, we name them on the firm’s listing, and the country picker uses them: pick your country and firms that exclude it drop out.
3. No statement from the firm, no listing. If we can’t find the firm’s own word on which countries it serves, it stays off this site until we do.

We haven’t tested any checkout from a European connection. Eligibility here rests on what the firm writes, not on a purchase test made from Europe.

Prices, rules and codes

Prices, rules and discount codes come from the same research we do for US Prop Deals, our site for traders in the United States. Prices are in US dollars (USD), as the firms list them. Codes were tested at each firm’s checkout from a US connection, and every test is dated. A code that works in that test usually works in any country the firm serves, but we haven’t tested that from Europe.

Every check carries the date we made it. Rules change monthly in this industry, so an old check is a stale check.

What we never do

• Copy a fact from another review or comparison site. They’re wrong often enough that we treat them as leads, never as sources.
• Call a prop firm “regulated”. Challenges are paid evaluations on simulated accounts, not regulated investment products.
• Invent scores or “best” badges.
• Mark a discount code verified because it exists. A code is verified only after it works at the firm’s own checkout, on a recorded date.

How the list is ordered

Our featured pick comes first. That’s an editorial choice and a firm we partner with, and our disclosure says so. After it, the main list is our editorial order: established firms that serve Europe, weighed by reliability, how long they’ve operated, their public reputation and how good their deal is. Other firms we’ve checked appear further down.

Commission never decides whether we say you can buy from a firm in Europe, or what we warn you about. Firms we work with can appear higher in the list. If a firm ever pays for placement, it will be labelled Sponsored, visibly and separately from the ranking. See our affiliate disclosure.
