The cheapest funded sports betting challenge we verified is BankrollU, which runs a free first-time $200 Combine promo, $0 to enter. Outside of that promo, the cheapest standard entry fees start at FanFunded ($8.99), MyBetFund ($10), and GetBet Funded (£25, or about £17.50 with a discount code). These are sports betting prop firms, a different product from CFD or futures prop firms: instead of trading forex or stocks, you place sports bets on a funded bankroll and keep a share of the profit.

This is a much smaller market than CFD prop trading. We cover 11 sports betting prop firms in total, and search demand for this specific niche is thin compared to forex or futures prop firms. We are covering it because we have verified data on all 11, not because it is a high-traffic keyword.

Quick comparison: cheapest sports prop firm challenges

All 11 firms we cover have a verified entry price. Two of them, Trading Buddy and GetBet Funded, price in British pounds rather than US dollars, so treat those two as a separate currency group rather than directly comparable line items with the rest. Scores are out of 10 from our own review process. See our review methodology for how we score.

Cheap is not the same as well rated here

FundedPlays is the most expensive challenge on this list at $249.99, and it also carries our lowest score, 4.5 out of 10. Its terms state all funds are virtual with no cash value, which sits awkwardly next to marketing language that references payouts and funded careers. It also has no Trustpilot presence or independent review history yet. Price is not the problem with FundedPlays. The gap between what it promises and what its own terms say is.

At the other end, GetBet Funded and BankrollU score the highest in this group, 7.4 and 7.3, and both also happen to have some of the lowest entry costs here. That combination, a strong score at a low price, is worth more attention than the cheapest option that scores in the 6s.

What sports prop firm challenges actually are

A sports prop firm works like a CFD prop firm, but the underlying activity is sports betting instead of trading. You pay an entry fee, place bets on a simulated or real bankroll depending on the firm, hit a profit target within the rules, and keep a share of the profit once you are funded. Most firms in this space use a profit target similar to a CFD challenge, commonly around 33%, along with a minimum number of picks and a payout cycle.

This is a newer and smaller category than CFD or futures prop trading. Several of the firms on this list launched in 2025 or 2026, and independent review history for some of them is still thin. That is worth factoring into your decision alongside the entry price.

What to check before you pick a sports prop firm

• Real money or virtual funds. Some platforms fund a genuinely tradable bankroll. Others, like FundedPlays, state in their own terms that funds are virtual with no cash value. Read the terms, not just the marketing page.
• Profit target and pick minimum. A 33% target across 25 picks in 30 days is a different bar than a 10% target with no pick minimum. Compare the actual math, not just the headline split.
• Payout cadence. Weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly payout cycles all show up in this category. A cheaper challenge with a slower payout cycle is not automatically the better deal.
• Independent review history. A few of these firms are new enough that there is limited third-party feedback yet. That does not make them bad, but it does mean you are taking on more uncertainty.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest sports prop firm challenge?

BankrollU currently runs a free first-time promo on its $200 Combine tier, $0 to enter. Outside of that promo, FanFunded ($8.99) and MyBetFund ($10) are the cheapest standard entry fees among the sports prop firms we cover.

Are sports prop firms the same as CFD prop firms?

No. The structure is similar, an entry fee, a profit target, and a funded account once you pass, but sports prop firms use sports betting picks instead of forex, futures, or crypto trades. Rules, terminology, and regulatory treatment differ between the two categories.

Is FundedPlays worth the higher price?

Based on our review, no. It is the most expensive firm on this list and scores our lowest, 4.5 out of 10, largely because its own terms state all funds are virtual with no cash value, which conflicts with its funded-account marketing.

Does BankrollU’s free promo ever end?

The $0 entry is tied to a specific first-time-player promo on the $200 Combine tier. Promos like this can change or end without notice, and the standard entry fee on that tier is $49. Confirm the current offer directly on BankrollU’s site before you sign up.
