Interesting to do the math - if you have to do 30 full lot trades, assuming a 3 pip spread and 10$ per pip - then they will make 30*3*10 = 900$ off your trading (if you survive at least 30 trades, 300 minis, or 3000 micros). So at the very worst, they are guaranteed 400$ (900$ - the original 500$) off successful traders taking advantage of this deal.
Probably the best way to play this one - but only if you have money to throw away - is to fund the real account with as little as possible (say a few hundred dollars), use their 500$ as a source of extra leverage, and bet it all on one trade, and let it ride. You'll lose the 500$ (for not trading enough), you'll risk the money you put in, but it may pay off big. But then again, it may not
