How to check before you pay
- Read the payout rules on the firm's own pages first: thinkcapital.com/tc-faqs/funded-accounts/how-is-the-payout-p, thinkcapital.com/tc-faqs/general-faqs/leverage-commission-an, thinkcapital.com/tc-faqs/funded-accounts/news-trading-policy, thinkcapital.com/tc-faqs/general-faqs/what-trading-platforms, thinkcapital.com/tc-faqs/penalties-faq-section/penalties-faq
- Search the firm's Trustpilot page for recent reviews mentioning denied payouts, and check whether the firm replies with a rule reference.
- Buy the smallest account first and request a payout as soon as you are eligible. A first small payout tests the process cheaply.
- Keep screenshots of your trades and the rules as they were on the day you bought. Rules change; our changelog shows when.
- Pay by a method with chargeback rights where possible, and never send funds to a personal wallet or account.

What legit means here
Prop firms like ThinkCapital sell evaluations on simulated accounts and share profits from that activity; the fee is a service fee, not a deposit. They are generally not licensed the way brokers are. We do not verify licences or audit payouts, so 'legit' here means the firm publishes clear rules, has a checkable record and reports paying traders.
