Kyc issue at riseworks

I applaud the effort you guys puttting on various platforms to sort out the issues and handling them on priority but I want to let you know that Kyc issue is the first issue that should be handled on priority. Even though it is not on your backened but riseworks need to put enough employees online to hand chat prompts and email replies. My KYC has at riseworks has been pending for our 48 hours and they are not even responding emails nor even updating their platform about the status. Please consider this issue on priority as It takes month of hard work to go through evaluation and still face such issue

Reply from AquaFunded: Hi, Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting this. KYC is handled through a third party provider, and once verification is completed on their platform, it is automatically synchronised with your AquaFunded account. In some cases, delays can occur on the provider’s side, which is unfortunately outside of our direct control. That said, we’re always happy to assist where possible. We recommend reaching out to our support team and requesting an admin review so we can look into your case further and help ensure everything is resolved as quickly as possible.

I liked their customer support very much, someone is always active to attend to you and their patient. I dislike their 30days constraint on passing their giveaway accounts, l believe they should work on that. That rule is limiting for a growing trader hoping to leverage on giveaway accounts. They should work on clarity between their moderators concerning claiming an account; getting two different reactions for the same case is very frustrating when you're at the receiving end. Thankfully they resolved it.

"100% Scam - Closed my account with only $103 loss"

Title: Account suddenly closed with no drawdown breach - Clear scam behavior Review: I was monitoring my 50K Instant Funded account in real-time with only one position open. Floating loss never exceeded $300, and realized loss was only -$103.20. Despite having plenty of room left in both Daily Drawdown (2.5%) and Maximum Drawdown (4%), my account was suddenly closed on July 7th without any proper explanation. Support team (Davy) keeps closing tickets without providing timestamp or evidence. This feels like a deliberate scam to take traders' money. Warning to everyone: Do not trust this company.

Contrary to what they say, the rules aren't very clear.

I purchased a $5000 instant account to test how payouts work. I now need to make a return of at least 0.5% for five days before being able to request a payout, along with the consistency rule (which I was aware of). This will be the case for every single payout. There's also a maximum of $100 withdrawal amount on my account. So, realistically, I'll need to make at least $125 in order to get a payout, of which I'll only be able to withdraw $100 of. In fairness, if you dig and dig you can painstakingly find all of this information on their website. The whole platform is set up for you to fail and if you do succeed, it's hard to get rewarded for it.

Reply from AquaFunded: Hi, Thank you for your feedback. The account you are referring to is our TryAqua model, which is specifically designed as a very low-cost entry point for traders to access a funded account. Due to the extremely low price point, certain rules such as minimum trading days and payout thresholds are in place to ensure fair and sustainable use of the model. All of these requirements, including trading day conditions and payout limits, are clearly outlined within our FAQ and account details. While we understand it may require some review, the information is publicly available and consistent for all users. This model is actively used by many traders who successfully meet the requirements and receive payouts regularly. It is designed to be achievable, while still maintaining structure appropriate for the value being offered. If you have any questions or would like further clarification on your account, our support team is always available to assist.

Complete Scam

Complete Scam. Bought an instant account after I have questioned their team to clarify some rules to make sure I could use expert advisors running on VPS. They have told me they have no issues in me doing so. After following all the rules and gotten to pay-out time. Guess what... My account was terminated for supposedly sharing my account. I assume that was flagged because of the use of a VPS so when I tried to clarify this to the team and offered a teams call to share my trading to prove them otherwise they have refused to do so and have rejected my request for a payout and terminated my account. DO NOT USE.

If it was possible l wouldn't even give a star to these scammers, they denied me my payout $(800) after a whole month of discipline and l was waiting for that payout to pay my bills and stuff. ..l'm really hurt , if you are a trader take this as warning ⚠️ Take your money buy a challenge somewhere else prolly funding pips don't pay attention to these paid reviews here ....these guys will break your heart. I Hate Aquafunded😡

Reply from AquaFunded: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We genuinely understand how disappointing it is to have a payout rejected, especially after spending time trading your account. However, we must respectfully point out that this review does not reflect the actual reason for the decision. AquaFunded has processed over $7 million in verified and tracked payouts to traders who comply with our rules. We are most certainly not a scam, and payout decisions are never made arbitrarily. Following a detailed review of your account, it was found that your trading account had been logged into on the same device as multiple other traders' accounts. As clearly stated in our Terms and FAQ, trading must be conducted independently, and device sharing or coordinated trading activity is not permitted. This policy exists to protect the integrity of our platform and applies equally to every trader. Unfortunately, the evidence in your case clearly demonstrated a breach of this rule, which resulted in your payout being rejected. We appreciate that this outcome is frustrating, but describing AquaFunded as a scam or suggesting we do not pay traders is simply untrue. If you have any questions regarding your case or would like further clarification, please contact our support team and request an admin review. We are always happy to explain our findings in detail.

0 stars Didn’t want to pay me out 4.3k due to something I had no control over (use of VPS). Never used one before. After false accusations there was no justification or explanation just a screenshot that could have been created Poor customer service from Corey, Lewis failed to escalate when I had a justified answer

Aquafunded is totally scam with trader you never pass. Aquafunded challenge if you want actually trading take FTMO funded account best for bigner Dont weast your money in aquafunded account. Thanks

Reply from AquaFunded: Thank you for your review. We understand that breaching an account can be frustrating, but describing AquaFunded as a scam is simply not accurate. We have processed and tracked over $7 million in verified payouts to traders who successfully trade within the clearly defined rules of their account. In your case, your account breached due to exceeding the Maximum Drawdown rule. This is one of the most fundamental rules of the challenge, is clearly explained in our FAQ, and includes examples to help traders understand exactly how it works before they begin trading. We appreciate that you may be disappointed with the outcome, but posting misleading reviews without the full context is unfair to both us and prospective traders. If you believe there has been any error in the application of your account rules, you are welcome to contact our support team and request an admin review. If any mistake is identified, it will always be rectified accordingly.

Title: Unfair Account Breach Despite Staying Within Risk Limits

I had a trade where my stop loss was set at $1,868, and my account was marked as breached. My funded account size was $100,000, and according to the company’s stated rules, traders are allowed to risk up to 2% of their account on a single trade. A risk of $1,868 is still below the 2% limit of a $100,000 account. Based on my experience, I believe traders should be very careful when purchasing accounts from newly established prop firms. In my case, I followed the risk parameters, yet my account was still breached. This experience has left me disappointed and concerned about the consistency and fairness of the firm’s risk management practices. I hope the company reviews this situation and provides a clear explanation.

Reply from AquaFunded: Thank you for your review. Having reviewed your account again, we can confirm that the outcome was applied correctly. Your account was not breached due to the single trade you reference in this review. As clearly explained in our FAQ and Rules page, two instances of exceeding the 2% floating loss limit (Wave Stop) result in an account breach. In your case, there were two separate floating loss breaches, reaching approximately -$2,410 and -$2,188 respectively, both exceeding the permitted 2% threshold on your $100,000 account. These rules are clearly documented and explained with examples before trading. After a further review of your account, we confirmed that the breach was correctly applied and, therefore, the outcome could not be changed. Unfortunately, this review does not accurately reflect what occurred and omits the actual reason your account was breached. We understand that this is disappointing, but we also encourage traders to take responsibility for trading within the clearly defined risk parameters of their chosen account model. If you have any further questions regarding your account, you are welcome to contact our support team and request an admin review.

Absolutely a scam proper firm after buying nearly 10 accounts and being trading with this proper firm for 3 years finally i passed a 2 challenges with them everything was fine till i made money in the funded account after waiting 14 days I requested payout then they rejected my payout and blocked my accounts saying it has been open from 2 devices and a few more excuses!! Absolutely stay away from this proper firm !! Scammmm

Reply from AquaFunded: Hi, Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration, however we would like to clarify that no decisions are ever made based on “excuses.” In your case, the outcome was based on clear, verifiable evidence. Our records show that your account was accessed on the same devices as another user’s trading account. In addition to this, there were multiple instances of identical trades being placed, including the same asset, trade size, entry time, and exit time with same same other traders multiple times. This pattern is not coincidental and is clearly coordinated trading activity. As outlined in our rules, all trading must be conducted independently. Coordinated trading or account sharing is strictly prohibited. All actions taken are based on factual data and applied consistently across all users.

They flagged three things: high login count, VPS usage, and EA trading

Update: They now honoured my payout. But its still not a good experience that I had to involve all those third parties. They have to earn the trust of their customers again. But right now it looks promising When I submitted my payout request, their Risk denied the payout. They flagged three things: high login count, VPS usage, and EA trading. None of these are prohibited in their Terms and Conditions. Their rules only prohibit account sharing — and no account sharing occurred at any time. I am the sole operator of this account. I submitted a detailed rebuttal on March 11th including proof of VPS ownership. They did not acknowledge a single point I raised. I received no reply for a full week and had to contact support three times before getting any response. When they finally replied, they simply restated the same three observations as if my evidence never existed. They then offered a 50% settlement. I rejected it. If they had conclusive proof of a violation they would pay nothing. To date they have not named any third party, not identified any specific suspicious login, and not engaged with any documentation I submitted. I have offered full verification — device ownership, IP records, VPS sole access, identity — and they have not responded to any of it. I have since filed formal complaints with the CCCP Dubai, the FTC/econsumer.gov, and my legal expenses insurer.

Do not be fooled by AquaFunded

Do not be fooled by AquaFunded. They use a malicious psychological trap called the 15% Consistency Rule to make you blow your account by yourself. ​I hit my targets, made great profits, and followed my strategy. When I asked for a payout, they blocked it, telling me I had to keep trading to "dilute" the percentage. This is exactly where the trap lies: they deliberately freeze your money and force you back into the market under immense psychological pressure and frustration, knowing that emotions will eventually make you blow the account. ​Instead of acting like a professional firm that manages risk by just adjusting or withholding the non-compliant day, they push you into a corner until you fail. They don't want successful traders; they want to break your mindset so they can keep your profits and your fee. ​Avoid this shady firm. Go to prop firms with NO consistency rules where you can trade with a clear mind.

Reply from AquaFunded: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We respectfully disagree with the characterization of the consistency rule as a "trap." Certain account models include a consistency requirement, while others do not. Where it is applied, its purpose is to encourage sustainable and consistent trading practices, not to prevent traders from receiving payouts. In fact, many traders successfully receive payouts from this exact model every day while operating within the stated consistency parameters. The rule is clearly disclosed as part of the model specifications so traders can decide whether that account type aligns with their trading style before purchasing. We have requested additional information via Trustpilot so we can review your specific case in more detail. Alternatively, please feel free to contact our support team directly and request an admin review. If anything has been applied incorrectly, we will always investigate thoroughly and rectify the situation accordingly.
