The odds of winning a bitcoin prize are 100,011 to 1. Earlier, Robinhood reported a 35% yearly surge in its revenue.
Over the next three weeks, customers of Burger King will get free Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Dogecoin with their meals through a partnership with the Menlo Park-based crypto exchange. If this isn’t a sign of growing appetites for digital assets, nothing is.
The cryptocurrencies will be given away to Burger King’s Royal Perks members, a loyalty program where members earn “crowns” for every dollar they spend on fast food items. The crowns can be redeemed for more fast food items. Members that make a purchase of $5 or more on the Burger King app will receive a prize code via email. They can then check and claim the prize through the Robinhood app. Burger King has a history of embracing cryptocurrencies. Earlier, Burger King outlets in the inflation-hit nation of Venezuela announced a partnership with Cryptobuyer to accept cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment.
Burger King customers can enter to win 20 bitcoins, 200 Ethereum or 2m DOGE if they spend more than $5 in-store, or on the app or website. To cash in on the crypto prizes they have to join the BK Royal Perks program, which launched nationwide September. They must also open a Robinhood Crypto account.
However, to cash in the rewards and claim them, users will need to have a Robinhood crypto account. Robinhood is a go-to app for crypto trading in the US with zero commissions. Speaking of the development, Robinhood head of partnerships Vikram Grover says: “Cryptocurrencies have become an important part of the financial world over the last decade. However, many Americans interested in this asset class don’t know how to start their journey or feel that the system isn’t built for them. This promotion will be reaching a new – and existing – audience for us, and we hope to help people start their crypto journey and take their first bite into crypto.”
Those who want to enter the promotion without buying anything can do so by sending an old-time snail mail entry to Burger King. The contest is open to anyone over 18 anywhere in the U.S. except Hawaii, Nevada or Alaska.
