What is established

The Funded Sports Trader sold sports picking challenges from fundedsportstrader.com. Its Trustpilot profile and its archived home pages both carry that domain.

The domain no longer responds. On October 3, 2026, a DNS lookup through two public resolvers, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, returned no address for fundedsportstrader.com. A direct request failed with "Could not resolve host".

Trustpilot notes the closure. The profile says it is no longer possible to leave a review because "the company's website has closed". It lists a rating of 2.4 out of 5 from 32 reviews.

Old challenges page as archived on October 6, 2025, for $100,000 accounts, the default size. Each phase required 15 bets. Three paid options were listed for every format: Profit Split 80/20, Increase Max Drawdown by 5%, and Express Payout (Bi-weekly).
Format	Fee	Profit target	Max daily loss	Max drawdown	Bet size
Normal	$1,099.99	20%, 2 phases	10%	15%	$1,000 to $5,000
Aggressive	$1,349.99	20%, 2 phases	15%	20%	$5,000 to $10,000
3 Step Showdown	$799.99	20%, 3 phases	15%	20%	$5,000 to $10,000

The 3 Step Showdown listed four phase columns, with no profit target in the fourth.

The last copy, dated February 9, 2026, shows a selector for challenge type (Normal or Aggressive) and steps (2 Step or 3 Step). Account balances run from $1,000 to $100,000. The copy lists the same three paid options, with the price fields blank. The home page advertised up to 80% of simulated profits once funded. It described a simulated environment where players did not risk their own money. It named football, basketball, baseball, hockey and tennis, and claimed 10+ major sports and 30+ leagues.

The 80/20 profit split is one of those paid options, while the home page advertises up to 80% of simulated profits once funded. The copies say little about payout timing: "Express Payout (Bi-weekly)" is a paid add-on, and no default frequency is shown. The archived FAQ pages on withdrawals and payments show only an anti-bot screen.
