Hey,
If you've been on the site or watched a Cardiff game recently, you'll have spotted it already. From 31 July 2026, Traderscale is the Official Online Trading Partner of Cardiff City FC.
I wanted to explain what that means, why we did it, and — most importantly — what it means for you and your account. Short version: nothing changes for you, except that we've got a bigger engine behind everything we give back.
First, a word on Sunderland
We put our name next to Sunderland AFC early in our journey, and we watched them climb into the Premier League, then into Europe. Some ride to be part of.
We weren't standing still either. During that one chapter we passed $5.5 million paid out to traders, 1,000+ five-star reviews, and 500+ interviews with funded traders. Not a bad run.
So we're not moving because something went wrong. We're moving because something better made sense.
Why Cardiff? The honest version
I live in Dubai these days, but I grew up a few minutes down the road from Cardiff. That's home, and it always will be.
And every time I'm back, a club on the doorstep makes a lot more sense than one at the other end of the country. We loved our years with Sunderland, but the distance was brutal — player days, filming, matchday content, most of it died on the travel plans.
Cardiff fixes that. When I fly home the ground is minutes away, and the team can actually show up. Showing up is where everything good in this deal lives.
What the partnership includes
The obvious part first: more visibility during games, a bigger presence around Cardiff City Stadium — LED boards, the big screen, the concourse — and our name in front of a lot more eyes.
The part we really signed for is what it lets us do for you:
Matchday hospitality. The deal includes seats at Cardiff City Stadium, and we won't be filling them with people in suits. We'll be filling them with our traders. If you're a VIP customer, watch your inbox.
More giveaways. Free account drops during televised games and around big fixtures, on top of what we already run.
More content, filmed in person. Surprise payouts, Success Journeys interviews and player content, all a short drive from home instead of a flight away.
The way it's always worked here: the more we get out of our partnerships, the more we give back to the community.
The quiet part, out loud
You've seen the state of the industry lately. Prop firms folding overnight, rules shifting mid-challenge, payouts denied. Trader trust is at rock bottom, and honestly, fair enough.
A deal like this is the opposite of all that. You don't sign a season-long club partnership if you're planning to vanish in six months — sponsorships are serious investments that only pay off over years. Nobody spends that kind of money on a shop they're about to shut.
So read this announcement for what it really is: us putting money down on the long haul, in public, with our name on it. We're not going anywhere.
And your account? Nothing changes.
Same challenges, same rules, same payouts, same support team, same on-chain verification. Same Traderscale, new colours. 🔵⚪
Quick answers
Does this affect my existing challenge or funded account? No. Every rule, target, limit and payout schedule stays exactly as it was when you bought.
Is the Sunderland partnership over? Yes — it handed over to Cardiff in summer 2026. We're grateful for the chapter and everything we built during it.
How do I get matchday tickets? Hospitality is offered to VIP customers by email invitation as fixtures come up. Keep your account email up to date so you don't miss one.
Where can I read more?
Sunderland, thank you for an unforgettable chapter. Cardiff, let's get to work.
Here's to the next chapter.
