Trust & Legal

Built on transparency.

This page is maintained by SATO Trades to explain how we run our giveaways, how we handle your data, and the rules that govern using satotrades.com. We try to keep the language plain and accurate — if anything is unclear, email us.

Last updated: July 2026

Trust & Transparency

SATO Trades exists to give real traders real opportunities. Our goal is to run prop firm giveaways that are easy to understand, easy to verify, and reinvest community trust into more funded accounts, evaluations, and educational content.

How draws actually work

  • All giveaways are managed exclusively on satotrades.com — never through direct messages, third-party sites, or copycat accounts.
  • When a draw is triggered by an admin, our server collects every eligible entry for that giveaway, assigns each entry a weight based on its bonus value, and selects a winner using a weighted random function executed on the server.
  • The draw runs through a visible spinner animation on the live page and, for major draws, is streamed live so the community can watch the winner being selected in real time.
  • Each entry is tied to the user's account at the moment of the draw. The admin running the draw cannot pick a specific winner — they can only start the draw, which then runs server-side against the current entry list.
  • Active giveaways always show the user's latest display name at draw time. Once a draw is completed, the winner's display name, entry count, and timestamp are frozen and stored in the public giveaway history.

Anti-abuse protections

The following protections are actively in place. We do not claim features we have not implemented.

  • One account per person. Duplicate accounts are removed and their entries forfeited.
  • Sign-up IP tracking. We record the IP address used at registration to help detect duplicate accounts and coordinated abuse. IP addresses are visible only to administrators.
  • Manual proof verification. Every proof submission for bonus entries is reviewed by an admin before any bonus is granted.
  • Duplicate receipt detection. A receipt or order ID that has already been submitted by another account will be rejected.
  • Suspicious activity review. Accounts that show patterns consistent with fraud (recycled screenshots, mismatched names, edited receipts, coordinated sign-ups) are reviewed manually.
  • Authentication. Authentication and password storage are handled by our backend authentication provider. SATO Trades never sees or stores your password.

SATO Trades reserves the right to investigate suspected abuse and to disqualify, remove, or refuse entries from any account that violates these rules — including retroactively after a draw if abuse is later discovered. In that case the prize may be redrawn.

Privacy Policy

SATO Trades ("we", "us", "our") operates satotrades.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We aim to align with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP / revDSG) and, where applicable to visitors in the EU/EEA and UK, with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR.

Controller

The data controller responsible for personal information processed via the Site is SATO Trades, Sato Trades, c/o F2BII E-Commerce #1360, Hintergoldingerstrasse 30, 8638 Goldingen, Switzerland. You can reach us at contact@satotrades.com for any privacy-related request.

Information we collect

  • Account information: email address, chosen display name, 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 (for fraud and duplicate-account prevention) and standard server logs (request time, user agent, referrer, requested URL).
  • Authentication data: handled by our backend authentication provider. SATO Trades never stores your password — we only see your account identifier and email.
  • Analytics data: where you consent, we collect pseudonymous usage data via Google Analytics 4 (see "Cookies & analytics" below).
  • Communications: messages you send us by email or through Discord in relation to support, giveaways, or partnerships.

Lawful bases for processing (GDPR)

Where GDPR / UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following lawful bases:

  • Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): to create and operate your account, run giveaways you entered, verify proof submissions, and contact winners.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): to secure the Site, prevent fraud, detect duplicate accounts and coordinated abuse, maintain server logs, and keep a public draw history for community transparency. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time.
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): for non-essential cookies, Google Analytics, and any embedded third-party content that sets cookies (such as YouTube). You can withdraw consent at any time (see "Cookies & analytics").
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): to comply with tax, accounting, and other legal duties, and to respond to lawful requests from authorities.

How we use information

  • To operate giveaways, draw winners, and contact them.
  • 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.
  • To measure aggregate traffic and improve the Site (only with your consent, where required).
  • To respond to your support, privacy, and partnership requests.

Why we store IP addresses

We record the IP address used at sign-up for one purpose only: to detect duplicate accounts and coordinated abuse that would otherwise unfairly skew giveaway odds for real users. IP addresses are stored in a restricted column visible only to administrators, are never shown publicly or to other users, and are never sold or shared for marketing.

Cookies & analytics

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. We group them as follows:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. Required to sign you in, keep your session active, and remember your cookie choice. These are always active because the Site cannot function without them; no consent is required under Swiss and EU e-privacy rules.
  • Analytics cookies — Google Analytics 4. When you accept analytics, we load Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-FBRGMJ6Y00) to understand aggregated, pseudonymous usage of the Site. We enable IP anonymisation and use Google Consent Mode v2. Advertising signals, ad personalisation, and remarketing are disabled. Analytics tags do not load until you consent where consent is legally required.
  • Embedded video — YouTube. Some pages embed videos from YouTube (operated by Google). When you play an embedded video, YouTube may set cookies and collect data under Google's own privacy policy. Where required, we only load YouTube embeds after you consent.
  • No advertising or marketing cookies. We do not run third-party advertising, retargeting pixels, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, or similar tracking.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing our consent choice from your browser storage (site data for satotrades.com) and reloading the Site — the consent banner will appear again. You can also block cookies at the browser level. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Service providers (processors)

We use a limited number of vetted service providers to run the Site. They process personal data on our behalf under written data-processing terms and only for the purposes described here.

  • Hosting & application platform: our web application is hosted and delivered through our application platform provider, which also handles static asset delivery and TLS.
  • Backend, database, authentication & file storage: account data, giveaway entries, and proof screenshots are stored in our managed backend (database, auth, and object storage).
  • Transactional email delivery: account-related and giveaway-related emails are sent through a third-party email delivery provider from our verified sending domain.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC), only after consent where required.
  • Embedded video: YouTube (Google LLC), only where you interact with embedded video content.
  • Community platform: Discord (Discord Inc.), used to contact winners and run the free community. When you interact with us on Discord you are also subject to Discord's own terms and privacy policy.
  • Membership / creator platform: Whop (Whop Inc.), where linked memberships or reviews are involved. Whop's own terms and privacy policy apply to actions you take on their platform.

International data transfers

Some of our providers (in particular Google, YouTube, Discord, and Whop) are based in the United States or process data globally. When personal data is transferred outside Switzerland or the EU/EEA, we rely on legally recognised transfer mechanisms, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), the Swiss addendum to the SCCs, and — where applicable — the EU–US and Swiss–US Data Privacy Framework certifications maintained by those providers. You can request more information about the transfer safeguards for a specific provider by emailing us.

How we protect your data

Personal information is stored in a managed database with row-level access controls. Sensitive fields such as IP addresses are restricted to administrators. Proof screenshots are stored in a private bucket and reviewed only by admins. Traffic to and from the Site is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). No system is perfectly secure; we work to detect, contain, and remediate incidents promptly and will notify affected users and, where required, the competent supervisory authority in line with applicable law.

Retention

  • Account data: kept while your account is active. Deleting your account removes your profile and active entries.
  • Proof submissions: kept while the related giveaway cycle is active and for a reasonable period afterwards for dispute resolution and abuse investigation.
  • Sign-up IP: kept while your account exists to maintain duplicate-account protection.
  • Server logs: retained for a short period for security, debugging, and abuse investigation, then rotated out.
  • Analytics data: retained per our Google Analytics 4 configuration (default 14 months) at Google.
  • Completed draw history: winner display name, entry count, and timestamp are retained indefinitely as part of the public giveaway history for transparency.
  • Email records: retained as needed to answer follow-up questions and meet accounting or legal obligations.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights over your personal data: access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing (including profiling), data portability, and withdrawal of consent at any time (without affecting processing already carried out). To exercise any of these rights, email contact@satotrades.com from the address associated with your account or provide reasonable proof of identity. We respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally within one month under GDPR / revFADP).

Deleting your account removes your profile and active entries; aggregate or anonymised records of past draws may be retained for transparency and abuse prevention.

Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data properly, we would like the chance to fix it — please contact us first. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the country of your habitual residence, your place of work, or where the alleged infringement took place. In Switzerland, the competent authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC / EDÖB). In the EU/EEA, complaints can be made to your national data protection authority; in the UK, to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Automated decision-making

We do not use fully automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects on you. Giveaway draws are executed by a server-side random function, but proof approval, disqualification, and fraud decisions always involve a human administrator.

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. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, our providers, or the law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site.

Intellectual property

The SATO Trades name, logos, branding, wordmarks, written content, articles, guides, videos, illustrations, layouts, and Site source code (collectively the "SATO Trades Content") are owned by SATO Trades or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws in Switzerland and internationally. Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable mandatory law, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, translate, adapt, distribute, publicly display, sell, or create derivative works from any SATO Trades Content without our prior written permission.

Third-party names, trademarks, screenshots, and logos (including those of prop firms) remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification, review, and commentary only. By submitting content (such as proof screenshots or messages) you grant SATO Trades a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, and use that content solely to operate the Site, verify entries, prevent abuse, and comply with law. You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this licence.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Site, its content, giveaways, community access, and any linked services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, or that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Nothing on the Site is a guarantee of a specific trading result, evaluation pass, funded account, or payout.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SATO Trades, its owners, officers, contributors, and partners are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, trading capital, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with (i) your use of, or inability to use, the Site; (ii) your participation in any giveaway; (iii) your use of any prop firm, broker, exchange, or third-party service accessed through our links; or (iv) any conduct or content of any third party on or through the Site — whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid to SATO Trades in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) CHF 100. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (such as liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or personal injury caused by our fault).

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SATO Trades and its owners, officers, contributors, and partners from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your use of or access to the Site; (ii) your breach of these Terms, the Giveaway Rules, or applicable law; (iii) your infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights; (iv) any content you submit; or (v) your interactions with any prop firm, broker, exchange, or other third party accessed through the Site.

Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Site — including deleting your account and forfeiting any entries — at our reasonable discretion, without prior notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or the Giveaway Rules, engaged in fraud or abuse, or created legal or safety risk for us or other users. You may delete your account at any time from the dashboard or by contacting us. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and survival) will continue in effect after termination.

Force majeure

SATO Trades is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to internet, hosting, or data-centre outages; cyber-attacks; database or backend provider failures; payment-provider failures; partner firm outages or policy changes; sanctions or export controls; pandemics; natural disasters; strikes; or governmental action.

Technical failures & fraudulent chargebacks

If a giveaway is affected by a technical failure (corrupted entry list, draw script failure, database outage, etc.), we may pause, re-run, or cancel the affected draw. Bonus entries granted from a purchase that is later reversed, refunded, or charged back become invalid; the entries are removed and, if discovered after a draw, the prize may be redrawn.

Third-party services & links

The Site links to and references third-party services (prop firms, brokers, exchanges, Discord, YouTube, Whop, and others). We are not responsible for the content, availability, terms, privacy practices, or actions of those third parties. Your use of any third-party service is governed solely by the terms and privacy policy of that third party and is at your own risk.

Electronic communications & consent

By creating an account or contacting us, you consent to receive electronic communications from us (email, dashboard notices, and — where you provide it — Discord messages) in connection with your account, giveaways you have entered, security alerts, and legal notices. You agree that these electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.

Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Site are governed by the substantive laws of Switzerland, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting contact@satotrades.com. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the ordinary courts at our registered seat in Switzerland have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence that require another forum or law.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a competent court, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if it cannot be modified, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver is effective unless made in writing by an authorised representative of SATO Trades.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, to any successor entity or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, provided your rights under these Terms are not materially diminished.

Entire agreement

These Terms — together with the Privacy Policy, Giveaway Rules, Affiliate Disclosure, and Trading & Risk Disclaimer on this page, and any additional terms shown on a specific giveaway or product page — constitute the entire agreement between you and SATO Trades regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements or understandings on that subject.

Survival

The following sections survive any termination or expiration of these Terms: Intellectual property, Disclaimer of warranties, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, Governing law & dispute resolution, Severability, No waiver, Assignment, Entire agreement, and this Survival clause.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, by a notice on the Site. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms; if you do not agree, you must stop using the Site and may delete your account.

Giveaway Terms & Conditions

Organiser

All giveaways on the Site are organised by SATO Trades, Sato Trades, c/o F2BII E-Commerce #1360, Hintergoldingerstrasse 30, 8638 Goldingen, Switzerland. They are not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Discord, Apple, Google, Meta, YouTube, Whop, or any prop firm except as expressly noted on a specific giveaway listing.

Eligibility

Open to registered users worldwide who are 18 or older (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher) and legally permitted to receive a prop firm evaluation or funded account. Void where prohibited, restricted, taxed, or otherwise regulated by law. Participants are responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, sanctions, and tax rules in their jurisdiction, including any restrictions on receiving prizes or trading-related services. Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of SATO Trades are not eligible.

No purchase necessary

  • Every registered user automatically receives 1 free entry into eligible public giveaways. No purchase is necessary to enter or win a public giveaway.
  • Purchases only add bonus entries and/or grant access to supporter-exclusive giveaways. A purchase does not increase your chance of winning any given prize beyond the additional entry weight it represents.
  • Bonus entries increase your odds but never guarantee a win. Your odds depend on the total number of eligible entries from all participants at the time of the draw and cannot be calculated in advance.

How bonus entries are calculated

Each eligible giveaway publishes its own entry rules on its listing page. Bonus entries are awarded based on verified prop firm purchases made through SATO Trades using code SATO. The number of bonus entries per purchase is shown on the giveaway's listing and on your dashboard once the proof is approved. If a giveaway uses a different multiplier (for example, larger account sizes earning more entries), the multiplier is shown on that giveaway's listing before you enter.

Proof submissions

Proofs must be screenshots of your purchase receipt or order confirmation clearly showing code SATO and the partner firm. Each receipt, order ID, or transaction reference can only be used by one account. Falsified, edited, AI-generated, recycled, or duplicate proofs — as well as receipts belonging to another person — result in forfeiture of all entries, disqualification, and removal of the account. We may request additional verification (such as a matching email confirmation) before approving a proof.

Duplicate accounts, fraud, and investigations

SATO Trades may investigate any account or entry at any time — including before, during, or after a draw. We may temporarily suspend entries or delay a draw while an investigation is ongoing. Where we determine, on the basis of the evidence available to us and acting reasonably, that a user has:

  • operated more than one account,
  • submitted a fake, altered, recycled, or third-party receipt,
  • coordinated with other users to inflate entries,
  • bypassed or attempted to bypass anti-abuse or security controls, or
  • otherwise breached these Rules or the Terms of Service,

that user's entries may be voided, the account may be closed, any prize already delivered may be revoked, and — where the abuse is discovered after a draw — the prize may be redrawn from the remaining eligible entries.

Technical failures

If a giveaway is affected by a technical failure — including a corrupted entry list, draw script failure, database outage, provider incident, or clock/timezone misconfiguration — SATO Trades may pause, re-run, extend, cancel, or void the affected draw and redraw where appropriate. We are not responsible for entries that fail to register due to your device, browser, network, or ad-blocker settings.

The draw

  • Draws are triggered by an admin and executed by a server-side weighted random function against the eligible entry list at that moment.
  • Draws run through a visible spinner animation on the live giveaway page. Major draws are streamed live so the community can watch the result in real time.
  • The winner's display name at the moment of the draw is captured and shown publicly. The user's latest display name is used — if you rename yourself before the draw, the new name will appear.
  • Completed draws (winner, entry count, timestamp) remain publicly visible in the giveaway history for transparency and abuse prevention.

Winner contact & redraws

Winners are contacted on Discord using the username on their profile. If a winner cannot be reached within 7 days, does not respond, refuses the prize, is ineligible under these Rules, or is later found to have violated these Rules, the prize may be redrawn from the remaining eligible entries or, at our discretion, forfeited.

Prizes

Prizes are delivered as prop firm evaluation accounts, funded accounts, discount codes, or similar items via our partner firms; the prop firm's own terms apply to the use of the account. Prizes are non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and have no cash alternative unless expressly stated on the giveaway listing. We may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside our control (for example, a partner firm changing or discontinuing an account tier).

Taxes

Winners are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes, duties, fees, or levies that apply to the prize in their country or state of residence. Where legally required, we may request additional information to comply with reporting or withholding obligations before delivering a prize.

Modification, postponement & cancellation

To the extent permitted by law, SATO Trades reserves the right to amend these Rules, or to cancel, modify, postpone, void, or re-run any giveaway at any time, without liability, in the event of fraud, suspected abuse, technical failure, partner firm changes, low or artificially inflated participation, legal or regulatory restrictions, or other circumstances that materially affect the fairness or administration of the giveaway. Where possible we will publish the reason on the giveaway page.

Publicity

By entering a giveaway you agree that your public display name, entry count, and (if you win) the fact that you have won may be published on the Site, in our Discord, on our social channels, and in our live streams for community transparency. We will not publish your email address or private profile information. You can request removal of your public winner listing by contacting us; we may replace it with an anonymised placeholder to preserve the integrity of the historical draw record.

Governing law (giveaways)

These Giveaway Rules are governed by the laws of Switzerland, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.

Affiliate Disclosure

SATO Trades may earn affiliate commissions when you purchase prop firm accounts, subscriptions, or other services through partner links or discount codes shown on the Site (including through code SATO). These commissions help fund free giveaways, evaluations, and educational content for the community.

  • Purchases are entirely voluntary. You are never required to buy anything to use the Site, to join our Discord, or to enter our public giveaways.
  • Prices are not increased for you. Using our links or the SATO code does not raise the price you pay; in most cases it provides a discount.
  • Our recommendations are independent. We only recommend firms we have personally tested or that meet our published editorial criteria.
  • Commissions do not influence rankings or reviews. Rankings, comparisons, and reviews are based on our own testing, published methodology, and community feedback. We have publicly downgraded or removed partners when their rules, payouts, or behaviour deteriorated.
  • Affiliate status is disclosed. Pages that recommend partner firms or use affiliate links carry this disclosure, in line with FTC 16 CFR Part 255 guidance in the US and comparable transparency requirements in the EU, UK, and Switzerland.
  • Giveaway participation does not influence any prop firm's evaluation, payout, or trading decisions. Each prop firm applies its own rules independently. We cannot guarantee any firm's future behaviour, payouts, or policies.

Trading & Risk Disclaimer

SATO Trades is an educational and community platform. All content on the Site — including articles, guides, videos, live streams, Discord messages, examples, chart annotations, and any other material — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

We do not provide financial, investment, tax, legal, or trading advice. SATO Trades is not a licensed broker, dealer, investment adviser, financial adviser, portfolio manager, or futures commission merchant in any jurisdiction. Nothing on the Site, in our Discord, or on any of our live streams constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or trade any financial instrument, contract, security, cryptocurrency, or prop firm account.

Trading futures, options, leveraged products, forex, contracts for difference, cryptocurrencies, and prop firm accounts involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every person. You can lose the full cost of your evaluation, subscription, activation fees, data-feed fees, any deposits, and — where allowed by the prop firm — more than the amounts you have initially committed. You should only trade with capital you can afford to lose.

Funded accounts are not guaranteed. Passing an evaluation, being awarded a funded account, keeping that account, and being paid out depend entirely on each prop firm's own rules, your trading performance, and factors outside our control. Rules, drawdown mechanics, payout schedules, and eligibility can change at any time.

Past performance, payouts, screenshots, back-tests, and trader results shown on the Site or in the community are historical and are not indicative of, and do not guarantee, future results. Individual outcomes vary widely and most traders do not achieve the same results. Testimonials and community screenshots represent the experience of specific individuals and may not be typical.

You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions, position sizing, risk management, and compliance with the rules of any prop firm, broker, exchange, or regulator that applies to you. You should consult a qualified professional (financial adviser, tax adviser, or lawyer) licensed in your jurisdiction before making any financial decision.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SATO Trades and its owners, officers, contributors, and partners accept no liability for any losses, missed profits, drawdowns, revoked accounts, denied payouts, tax consequences, or other damages arising out of or in connection with your trading activity or your reliance on any content on the Site.

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?

An admin triggers the draw from the SATO Trades dashboard. A server-side weighted random function then selects the winner from the eligible entry list — the more entries you have, the higher your chance, but every eligible user with at least one entry can win. The result is shown in a live spinner animation and saved to the public giveaway history.

If I rename my account, which name will be drawn?

Active giveaways always use your latest display name at the moment of the draw. Once a draw is completed, that winner's name is frozen in the public history.

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.

How do I change or withdraw my cookie / analytics consent?

Clear the site data for satotrades.com in your browser and reload the page — the consent banner will appear again and you can choose again. You can also block cookies at the browser level. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
