The payout cycle: 14 days, then every 18

When the clock starts

The rules page words it as "The first payout may be requested 14 days after the funded account opens." That is the account that opens after you pass, so time spent in the evaluation does not count. On Pay After You Pass, the funded account opens on the day the rest of the fee is paid, with no deadline to pay it, so on that program the 14 days start on the day of that payment.

There is no deadline on the evaluation, so there is no fixed date by which a funded account has to exist. The payout calendar only begins once it does.

A calendar example on a €25,000 account

A funded €25,000 account opens on Thursday 1 October 2026. Each request needs at least 10% profit, which here is €2,500, plus the other conditions. Say every condition is met on the first day each window opens:

That is the fastest the calendar can run. It is not a forecast. Results on a Simulated Demo Trading Account vary, most traders do not make a profit, and a window that opens with the account below 10% simply passes without a request.

What happens when you request late

The site says each request after the first "opens 18 days after the previous request". The count runs from the day of your last request, not from a fixed grid of dates. So a late request pushes the next window back.

Same account. On 15 October the profit is only €1,500, so there is no request. By Thursday 22 October the account is €2,500 up and meets every condition, and the first payout is requested and approved that day. The next window then opens on Monday 9 November, 18 days after 22 October, rather than on 2 November.

The date that counts is the request, not the release. If a request goes in on 22 October and is approved later, the next window still opens 18 days after 22 October.

The window tells you the earliest date. The account decides whether you can use it.

Waiting for a window without breaking a rule

Between windows the account is still under every rule. Three things are easy to miss while you wait.

The inactivity rule: more than 5 days without opening or closing a trade fails the account. The days are full 24-hour periods counted from your last trade, and weekends count. An 18-day gap is long enough to trip it if you stop trading while you wait for the date. No time limit and the inactivity rule covers what keeps an account active.

The profit bar resets. After a payout, the next request needs 10% again, "from the last payout". On €25,000 that is another €2,500, and the 50% consistency rule applies to the new request too. That one never fails the account. It only holds the request back until profit is spread across more days. See the 50% consistency rule.

And on the day itself, every position has to be closed before you press request. The full list is in payout conditions explained.

Release and arrival

The rules page is specific about Eiger's side: "We release approved payouts immediately. There is no processing queue and no batch pay day on our side." The home page says the same: payouts are not held for a batch or a set weekday.

It is just as specific about what Eiger does not control. The time funds take to arrive depends on your bank or on crypto network conditions, and for that reason Eiger does not publish an arrival time. Any article that gives you a number of hours or days for arrival is guessing.

The reward itself is 80% of the simulated profit on the account, set at purchase and fixed for its life. It is paid in real money as a performance reward on a digital product, not a financial one. On a €2,500 profit that is €2,000. The 80% reward explained goes through that arithmetic.
