I purchased a $5k funded account from Lion Funded during their Black Friday promotion for $34, as their frequent advertisements gave me the impression that they were a reliable firm. I successfully passed both phases while adhering to all the rules. They initially promised that my account would be approved within 5 business days, but I have yet to receive any confirmation email.
I’ve emailed their support team twice, but they keep delaying with excuses like "It will be approved today" or "It will be approved tomorrow." If a prop firm behaves this way for account approval, I can only imagine how frustrating the payout process might be.
Don’t waste your time and effort. I strongly recommend staying away.

I initially wrote a review about Lion Funded’s delayed account approval process, warning others about how difficult it might be to receive a payout from them. Now, I can confirm that my suspicions were absolutely correct.
After passing both phases while strictly following the rules, they suddenly claimed that I violated their trading rules and closed my account. This is an outright lie. I have Excel data proving that I did not break any of their stated rules regarding position scaling or anything else they accuse me of. Their accusations are completely baseless, and they are simply looking for an excuse not to pay traders.
Let me be clear: I don’t need their $100, but apparently, they do. May God help them. They can keep my $100—it will be my charity to them. But let this be a warning to anyone considering trading with them: stay far away. This is not a serious firm, and they have no intention of honoring their payouts.
