We bought a Vest Capital evaluation on 8 October 2026 and went back into the app on 9 October 2026 to check exactly how the code behaves: who sees the field, where it sits, what it changes, and what it does not. ROYA is our affiliate code; we earn a commission when you use it and your price still drops by 5%. Below: the four steps, the prices we saw, what we actually paid, and whether the firm is worth the fee at all.
How to use the code ROYA, in 4 steps
- Open Vest Markets and sign up or sign in. Email, Google or a wallet all work for the account (a wallet-only purchase is allowed per Vest’s FAQ; we did not test it). This step matters more than it looks: a signed-out visitor sees no discount field and no pre-filled code on the Vest Capital page. We checked in a private window on 9 October 2026.
- Go to the Vest Capital page. “Vest Capital” in the top menu. Evaluations are on /vest-capital/evaluation (Silver $5,000, Gold $10,000, Platinum $25,000); Instant accounts are on /vest-capital/instant.
- Type ROYA in “Enter Discount Code”, under the cards. Not in the Stripe checkout: the field is on the Vest Capital page itself, below the row of account cards. Some accounts arrive with a code already filled in from “My discounts” — ours showed “VEST”, 5%. Delete it and type ROYA.
- Check “Discount is Active!” and the price, then pay. With ROYA in the field, the app shows a “Discount is Active!” notice, “5% Discount” next to the field, and every card shows the list price struck through beside the new one. Only then click “Purchase Evaluation Account”. Payment goes through Stripe (card, or crypto under “More options”); the receipt prints the code as its own line — ours read “VEST (5% off) −$2.00”.
Prices before and after the code
| Account | List price | With ROYA |
|---|---|---|
| Silver $5,000 · 1-Step | $40 | $38 |
| Gold $10,000 · 1-Step | $80 | $76 |
| Platinum $25,000 · 1-Step | $210 | $199.50 |
| Instant $500 | $10 | $9.50 |
Read on 9 October 2026 in the app, signed in. 1-Step rows = the default card: 10% target, 3% daily loss limit, 80/20 split. The discounted prices matched the price matrix in Vest’s docs, and the discount applied to every configuration we tested. We list only the rows we saw on screen with the code active; other deals are on our deals page.

What we actually paid — and what the account did next
Full transparency on our own receipt: we bought a Silver $5,000 1-Step on 8 October 2026, list price $40, and paid $38.00 through Stripe (receipt 1552-9436). The code on that receipt is VEST, not ROYA: it was pre-filled in our session and we did not change it. On 9 October 2026 we typed ROYA into the same field and got the same 5%, the same $38.
The account then passed its evaluation on 9 October 2026 and became a $5,000 funded account. Its first trade made $39.02 of P&L minus $24.94 of fees, so $14.08 was claimable; at the 80% split, the claim window showed $11.26 to receive. Status on 9 October 2026: “Processing” — not received yet. So, for now: $38 paid, $11.26 claimed, nothing in the wallet. We will add the on-chain withdrawal when it happens; the full account story is in our Vest Capital payout article.
What the code does not do
- It is not applied by the link. Opening next.vestmarkets.com/r/roya does not put ROYA in the field. Whether that link attaches a referral to your account before you sign up is not something we have verified — the discount comes from the code, so type it.
- It does not appear signed out. No field, no pre-filled code until you sign in.
- It does not come with a known end date. None was displayed on 9 October 2026. That is not a promise it will last; we date every check.
- It does not change the product. Vest’s Prop Trading Terms (6 October 2026) say: “All Accounts, including Instant Funded Accounts, are simulated. No real trading capital, assets, margin, or collateral are credited or entrusted to you.” You can lose the entire fee. The refund window is published twice and contradicts itself: 3 days in the docs, 28 days in the Terms and the FAQ. 18+ only.
Is it worth it?
The code saves $2 on a $5,000 evaluation, $10.50 on a $25,000 one. That is not a reason to buy. The reason to buy, or not, is the firm: our Trust Score for Vest Markets is 74.1/100 — clear, priced rules and stocks, indices, FX and crypto in one account, against simulated accounts, no API on funded accounts, and payouts nobody can verify on a chain. Read our full Vest Markets review and the Vest Markets firm page first. If it fits how you trade, use the code; if it does not, $2 off changes nothing.
FAQ
What is the Vest Markets promo code?
ROYA, for −5% on Vest Capital accounts. We typed it into the app on 9 October 2026: "Discount is Active!", $40 → $38, $80 → $76, $210 → $199.50 on the default 1-Step cards, and $10 → $9.50 on the $500 Instant account. No end date was displayed.
Where do I enter a Vest Capital discount code?
Signed in, on the Vest Capital page (/vest-capital/evaluation or /vest-capital/instant), in the "Enter Discount Code" field under the account cards. A signed-out visitor sees no field and no pre-filled code — sign in first.
Does the Roya link apply the code automatically?
No. The link next.vestmarkets.com/r/roya opens Vest Markets; it does not put ROYA in the field. You type it yourself. Whether the link also attaches a referral to your account before signup is something we have not verified.
A different code is already in the field. Should I keep it?
Replace it with ROYA. Our account showed "VEST" pre-filled from "My discounts", worth the same 5%. We have not verified whether VEST is a permanent public code; ROYA is ours, and it gave the same discount on every configuration we tested.
Does ROYA work on Instant accounts?
Yes, on 9 October 2026: the $500 Instant account went from $10 to $9.50, the same 5%. The discount applied to every configuration we tested, and the discounted prices matched the price matrix in Vest's docs.
Is ROYA an affiliate code?
Yes. ROYA is Roya's affiliate code: we earn a commission when it is used, and your price still drops by 5%. We do not publish the commission rate. It does not change our Trust Score for Vest Markets, which comes from a public grid.
Code ROYA — type it in “Enter Discount Code”, under the cards, once signed in (−5%, read 9 October 2026).
