The5ers Payout Report: $1,230.86 the Day After Requesting (1st), $3,545.67 (2nd) — Yellow Card Lifted, No Interview Either Time [September 2026]
A record of two payouts the site owner received from The5ers on a $100K High Stakes funded account. The 1st was requested September 8, 2026, completed September 9, requesting $1,499 and receiving $1,230.86 via USDT; the 2nd payment of $3,545.67 completed on September 24, received in full via Rise. Neither required an interview or extra documents. Based on this, we lifted The5ers's yellow card. Covers fees by withdrawal method (Rise 3.5%, crypto 3.5% capped at $1,500/request, Hub credit 0%), the 14-day cycle, how to prepare for the interview clause, and the bulk-trading and copy-trading pitfalls most likely to get you banned.
We've Lifted The5ers' Yellow Card: Two Successful Payouts, But the Interview Clause and Bulk-Trading Ban Still Stand [Updated September 2026]
This site issued The5ers a yellow card in July 2026, and lifted it on September 25, 2026. Both payouts from the owner's $100K High Stakes funded account went through with no interview required, and none of the conditions for a red-card downgrade have occurred. That said, the clause requiring an interview to be scheduled and completed within 5 business days — or pending payouts get denied — is still in the September 23, 2026 version of the terms. The single biggest cause of bans is bulk trading (opening multiple positions at once) and copy trading, so don't use copy tools. The six warning signs from July are kept below as background.
