Burger King is giving away 20 bitcoin, 200 ether, and two million dogecoin this month in partnership with trading platform Robinhood. “Each entrant may receive up to 21 Prize Codes” that can be redeemed for cryptocurrencies on Robinhood.
‘Burger King With a Side of Crypto’
Fast food restaurant chain Burger King has announced “Burger King with a side of crypto,” its newest offer for Royal Perks members.
To be eligible to participate, customers must “make a minimum $5.00 pre-tax Burger King (‘BK’) food and/or beverage purchase” either online at BK.com, using the BK app, or at participating BK restaurants, the company explained, adding:
The prize pool includes two million dogecoin, 200 ethereum and 20 bitcoin, so only 220 guests could receive a bitcoin or ethereum cryptocurrency prize.
“There will be 2,000,220 Prize Codes available as of the start of the promotion,” Burger King further detailed. Participants must be Royal Perks members, for which sign-up is free.
According to the company’s estimates, the “odds of winning each prize at the start are approximately: Bitcoin Prize: 1:100,011 (20 available); Ethereum Prize: 1:10,001 (200 available) and Dogecoin Prize: 1:1 (2 million available).” However, the “Odds will change as prizes are distributed,” and “Unclaimed Prizes will not be awarded,” the fast-food company added.
Customers will receive an email from Burger King shortly after making a qualifying purchase that includes a prize code. There is a limit of one prize code per person per day.
The Burger King crypto promotion has two phases. The first is the “Prize Code Receipt” phase; the second is the “Prize Claim” phase. Both phases began on Nov. 1 at 10:00 a.m. EST. The first phase will end on Nov. 21 at 11:59 p.m. EST and the second phase on Dec. 17 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
Participants have until the end of the second phase to claim their prize codes through Robinhood. “You will need to open a Robinhood Crypto account and download the Robinhood app to claim your cryptocurrency prize,” Burger King noted.
The fast-food chain clarified:
Once all Prize Codes have been distributed, the Prize Code Receipt Phase will end, even if this is before November 21, 2021. Each entrant may receive up to 21 Prize Codes.
