There are two checks. Both are one-time.
1. Identity check (Sumsub) – after your first purchase
Takes about 10 minutes. You can start your evaluation straight away, but you need this approved before you get a funded account.
2. Payout account (Rise) – before your first payout
Sign up with Rise using the same email as your Shark Futures account.
Upload a government ID (passport, driver’s licence or national ID).
Upload proof of address issued in the last 3 months (utility bill, bank statement or official letter).
Add your tax details.
Rise reviews it, usually within 1–2 business days.
Do this early so your first payout isn’t delayed. You won’t need to repeat it unless you change payout method or personal details.
Live accounts
If you’re selected for a live account, our compliance team may ask for extra checks and will contact you directly.
