AI Review

Eightcap Challenges is the prop-firm evaluation product offered by Eightcap International Ltd (Seychelles). IMPORTANT: the challenge product does NOT fall within the scope of any authorisations, licences or permissions Eightcap holds and is solely for educational purposes — it is not ASIC-, FCA- or otherwise regulated. Eightcap the broker is regulated (ASIC AFSL 391441, Bahamas SIA-F220, Seychelles FSA SD100, Mauritius FSC), referenced here as context only and clearly separate from the challenge product. Profit split up to 80%, max leverage 1:100, accounts simulated up to $600,000 total. Australia is restricted despite Eightcap being an Australian broker; US residents are accepted but only on TradeLocker and TradingView. The Trustpilot rating reflects the broker Eightcap, not the challenge product specifically. The restricted-country list is partial — their FAQ leaves 'various African nations' unenumerated.
