Update 9/7/21: Terms on this public offer say first 400 people. Some people were also e-mailed the same offer and there is no 400 person language. If you weren’t targeted I’d recommend not doing this deal as it’s highly likely the 400 person cap has been hit.

Our Verdict
Previously eToro had the same deal but for $500, I recommended against that offer as it was only available to the first 50 people that did it. This time it’s half the bonus but that 50 person restriction has been removed. Terms do state that you need to be invited but that is defined as:
- “Invite” means an invite to participate in the Promotion by way of either: (i) an email sent directly by eToro; or (ii) advertisement tool (i.e., banner, newsletter, button or other similar method) facilitated by the Advertiser
Given there is a public website that should qualify everybody. You only pay a fee on purchase of the cryptocurrency, so this should be a profitable deal. They do not sell any stable coins so there is market volatility risk but you should be able to sell after purchasing and still qualify for this promotion. Bit too much uncertainty for me with this and given they have offered $500 in the past I’ll wait on this deal for now. You can find more cryptocurrency deals by clicking here.

Folks , how do i report this $500 in tax return ? eToro just reported the transactions and not the bonus amount in tax document it sent to me.
Love eToro for giving this offer at the right time! put in an additional $10k into BTC via this offer (P1 & P2) couple of weeks back and now the prices have jumped $55k+ 😃😃
You have to park $250 for 30 days of bonus post, right? https://etoro-cdn.etorostatic.com/studio/content/lp/cache_1/etoro-lps/cryptobonus/eToroUSPromotion250.pdf
Received the $250 bonus today. I was targeted for the offer and opened the trade Fri, Sep 3. So received the bonus before 30 days.
Also received. Was targeted with multiple emails.
I got it as well.
Update: They told me I had to wait 30 days for the bonus to post
Trade means you've to buy within etoro right? Deposit crypto from outside won't work? I've crypto elsewhere but don't have enough cash atm.
Yes it has to be a new position opened on Etoro.
Anyone know if I have to keep the $5k in the account after the trade to get the bonus?
I'm not. i did the trade than sent them a customer service email with a copy of my promotional email and the 5k trade. I used the debit card depsoit so my money was put in instanteniously and they said it would be 2 business days to deposit back into my account.
Heads up. Like @guest_1249541, there appears to be issues with this promotion being attached to accounts. I was even targeted via email AND app notification, however upon following up via live chat, promotion was not attached. They opened a ticket, I forwarded my targeted email, and within 30 mins they responded they will credit my account in a few days. At least I didn’t have to fight for it but just a PITA to follow up.
@guest_1249528 How did you do the live chat? I cant find the option for it.
Sorry for the late reply. Go to Help -> Help Center
Thanks
NOT AVAILABLE IN MN LOL CMON DUDERINO
Would be sweet if you could combine this offer with the opening swagbucks offer
I did. I satisfied the SwagBucks promo and then eToro subsequently emailed me this offer. If you can't combine them now, you can probably use SB offer now and wait for another one of these offers to existing customers later.
