Affiliate Competition

Competition Rules

How referrals are counted, how the ranking works and how prizes are paid. The competition runs once, from 1 to 30 November 2026.

1. 1

   Successful referrals

   Traders who made a paid purchase through your link or code during the competition, minus refunds and chargebacks. This is the number you are ranked by.

2. 2

   Pending referrals

   Leads who signed up through you but have not purchased yet. They count as successful referrals once they buy.

3. 3

   What counts

   Any trader, new or existing, who makes a paid purchase through your link or your code during the competition (1 to 30 November 2026). The purchase date decides, not the sign-up date: signed up 31 Oct and paid 1 Nov counts. One trader = one referral, however many times they buy.

4. 4

   What does not count

   Clicks, sign-ups without a purchase, free trials, and your own purchases.

5. 5

   7-day refund check

   A successful referral counts straight away. If it is refunded or charged back within 7 days, it is removed from your total.

6. 6

   One affiliate per trader

   If a trader came through one affiliate’s link but used another affiliate’s code, the referral goes to the code owner.

7. 7

   Ranking and ties

   Ranked by successful referrals. On a tie, the affiliate who brought more leads during the competition ranks higher.

8. 8

   Winners

   The top 5 when the competition ends win the prizes below. Every other affiliate with at least 1 successful referral is ranked below them.

9. 9

   Competition period and final results

   The competition runs from 1 November 2026, 00:00 UK time, to 30 November 2026, 23:59 UK time. All results are confirmed 7 days after it ends, so referrals from the last days of November confirm in the first week of December. Final standings lock on 8 December 2026.

10. 10

    Prizes

    Each winner gets one free account in the size shown for their place. You choose which type: a 1-Step Challenge or a 2-Step Challenge account, not both. The prize is an account, not cash. Prizes are confirmed by CTI after the final check and delivered within 2 business days of the final standings being confirmed.

11. 11

    Fair play

    CTI may remove referrals that break the affiliate terms (for example self-referrals or duplicate accounts).

Prizes

This is a one-off competition. CTI may update these rules before it starts on 1 November 2026; the version shown on that date applies.
