Blue Guardian: Payouts & split

ConditionalPayout deniedVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

85% base split, scalable to 90% (Instant Starter is lower, ~50%). Standard funded pays every 14 days; Rapid every 3 days. Requests accepted Mon–Fri before 3 PM CST, processed within 24 business hours — and if an eligible payout misses that window you receive 100% of profits. First payout needs ≥6% of starting balance (then ≥4%); $500 minimum. KYC required (before trading on Instant).

The gotcha

The '24-hour' guarantee is 24 BUSINESS hours and the request must land before 3 PM CST on a weekday — weekend requests don't start the clock.

What happens if you break it

Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
