Trust & Legal

Built on transparency.

This page is maintained by SATO Trades to answer common questions about how we run our giveaways, how we treat your data, and the rules that govern using satotrades.com.

Last updated: June 2026

Trust & Transparency

SATO Trades exists to give real traders real opportunities. Our mission is simple: run the most transparent giveaways in the prop firm space, verify every payout we showcase, and reinvest community trust into more funded accounts, evaluations, and educational live streams.

Commitment to fairness and user security

  • All giveaways are managed exclusively through the official satotrades.com platform — never through DMs or third-party sites.
  • Winners are selected by a server-side weighted random draw. Admins cannot favor specific accounts.
  • Every winner draw is logged immutably with a public-safe history available to the community.
  • Personal data is protected with row-level security; sensitive fields (IP addresses, emails of other users, proof screenshots) are never exposed to other users.

Anti-abuse protections

  • One account per person. Sign-up IPs are tracked to detect duplicate accounts.
  • Proof submissions are reviewed manually by admins before bonus entries are granted.
  • Falsified screenshots, edited receipts, or impersonation result in account removal and forfeiture of all entries.
  • Automated entry attempts, scrapers, or attempts to bypass authentication are blocked and banned.

SATO Trades reserves the right to remove, disqualify, or refuse entries from any account that violates these rules — including retroactively after a draw if abuse is discovered.

Privacy Policy

SATO Trades ("we", "us") operates satotrades.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

  • Account information: email address, chosen username, and an optional Discord username so we can contact giveaway winners.
  • Proof submissions: screenshots and metadata you upload to verify prop firm purchases used for bonus giveaway entries.
  • Technical information: the IP address used at sign-up (stored for fraud and duplicate-account prevention) and standard server logs.
  • Authentication data: handled by our backend authentication provider; we never see or store your password.

How we use information

  • To operate giveaways and contact winners.
  • To verify proof submissions and award bonus entries.
  • To detect and prevent abuse, duplicate accounts, and fraudulent entries.
  • To send transactional and account-related emails from our verified sending domain.

How we protect your data

Personal information is stored in a secured database with row-level access controls. Sensitive fields such as IP addresses are restricted to administrators and are never exposed publicly or to other users. Proof screenshots are stored in a private bucket and reviewed only by admins.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that power the Site (hosting, database, authentication, email delivery), and only as needed to operate it. We may disclose information when required by law.

Your choices

You can update your username, Discord handle, and email from your dashboard. To request access, correction, or deletion of your account and associated data, email contact@satotrades.com. Deleting your account removes your profile and active entries; aggregate, anonymized records of past giveaway draws may be retained for transparency.

Cookies

We use only the cookies required to keep you signed in and to operate the Site. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Children

The Site is not intended for anyone under 18. Trading prop firm accounts and participating in our giveaways requires you to be of legal age in your jurisdiction.

Terms of Service

By accessing satotrades.com you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Accounts

You are responsible for the activity on your account. One account per person. Duplicate or fraudulent accounts will be removed and any entries forfeited.

Affiliate links and prop firm partners

SATO Trades earns commissions when you purchase prop firm accounts through partner links and discount codes. Discounts and entry bonuses are provided by the partners listed on the Site and can change without notice. SATO Trades is not the prop firm and is not responsible for the prop firm's services, evaluations, or payouts.

Risk disclosure

Trading futures, forex, and crypto carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Past performance, payouts, and screenshots shown on the Site do not guarantee future results. Nothing on the Site is financial advice.

Acceptable use

  • No automated entry submissions, scraping, or attempts to bypass security.
  • No falsified proof submissions or impersonation of other users.
  • No abusive, harassing, or unlawful content.

Intellectual property

The SATO Trades name, logo, branding, and Site content are owned by SATO Trades. You may not copy or redistribute them without permission.

Termination

We may suspend or remove accounts that violate these Terms or the Giveaway Rules below. You may delete your account at any time by contacting us.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent allowed by law, SATO Trades is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the Site.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.

Giveaway Terms & Conditions

Eligibility

Open to registered users worldwide who are 18 or older and legally permitted to receive a prop firm evaluation or funded account in their jurisdiction. Void where prohibited by law. Employees and immediate family of SATO Trades are not eligible.

Entries

  • Every registered user receives 1 free giveaway entry.
  • Every verified prop firm account purchased through SATO Trades using code SATO grants additional bonus entries.
  • Multiple verified purchases stack. Larger accounts may receive additional entries at admin discretion.
  • A valid Discord username on your profile is required to be contacted as a winner.

Proof submissions

Proofs must be screenshots of your purchase receipt or order confirmation tied to code SATO. Falsified, edited, or duplicate proofs result in forfeiture of all entries and account removal.

Winner selection

Winners are drawn at random, weighted by total entries (free + bonus). All draws are performed by SATO Trades admins. Some giveaways are exclusive to verified supporters; eligibility for each draw is shown on its listing.

Prize delivery

Winners are contacted on Discord using the username on their profile. Prizes are delivered as prop firm evaluation or funded accounts via our partner firms; the prop firm's own terms apply. Prizes have no cash value and are non-transferable. If a winner cannot be reached within 7 days, the prize may be redrawn.

No purchase necessary

Every user has at least one free entry. Purchases only add bonus entries; they are never required to participate.

Taxes & sponsorship

The giveaways are sponsored by SATO Trades and are not affiliated with, administered, or endorsed by Discord, Apple, Google, Meta, or any prop firm except as noted on each draw. Winners are responsible for any taxes that apply in their jurisdiction.

Trading Disclaimer

SATO Trades is an educational and community platform. We do not provide financial, investment, or trading advice. Nothing on the Site, in our Discord, or on any of our live streams should be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument.

Futures trading, leveraged products, forex, crypto, and prop firm trading involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for every investor. You can lose more than your initial deposit.

Past performance, payouts, screenshots, and trader results shown on the Site or in our communities do not guarantee future results. Individual outcomes vary widely.

You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions, account management, and compliance with the rules of any prop firm or broker you use.

FAQ

How do I enter a giveaway?

Create a free account on satotrades.com and add your Discord username on your dashboard. Every registered user automatically gets 1 free entry into eligible public giveaways. Purchasing a prop firm account through our partner links with code SATO and submitting proof unlocks bonus entries and access to supporter-only draws.

How are winners selected?

Winners are picked by a server-side weighted random draw: the more entries you have, the higher your chance, but every eligible user with at least one entry can win. The draw is executed by an admin from the SatoTrades dashboard and recorded immutably.

Why was my proof submission rejected?

Common reasons: the receipt does not show code SATO, the screenshot is edited or unreadable, the purchase is from a non-partner firm, or the same receipt was already submitted by another account. You'll see the admin note on your dashboard and can submit a new proof.

How do supporter giveaways work?

Supporter giveaways are exclusive to users with at least one currently-valid approved proof submission. Entries are weighted by the bonus entries from your approved proofs. Supporter entries refresh periodically — when a cycle resets, new eligible purchases earn fresh entries for the next round, giving both new and existing supporters a fair shot.
