As has been reported by numerous news outlets, if you the Voyager cryptocurrency app, in conjunction with the Dallas Mavericks, is offering $100 in free Bitcoin if you download the app and sign up for an account by 10/30/21 at 11:59pm Central Time, deposit $100, and make at least one $10 trade. I initially held off on writing about this because everyone was waitlisted, but an email from Voyager indicated today that as long as you get on the waitlist before the deadline they intend to honor the $100 offer. This looks like a pretty easy money new account bonus – I was happy to sign up for $200 in two-player mode.

- Please allow up to 10 days for the reward to post to your account
- See promotion page for full terms
Quick Thoughts
The deal here is very simple: you need to download the Voyager app and sign up for an account using Reward Code MAVS100. After downloading the app, I think the first step in account creation may have been verifying phone and email. I believe it was the second screen, where you enter your name, that there was a “Reward Code” space where you need to type MAVS100. Don’t forget the code as I don’t imagine they’ll honor the offer without it.
After trying to enter my home address, I received a notification that said, “You’re currently on a waitlist to open your account due to a surge in demand. We will contact you soon to activate your account.” When I received that message earlier this afternoon, I decided not to post the deal because I was far from certain that they would clear the waitlist in time and pay out the offer.
However, a few hours later, Voyager sent the following email:
Hi there,
Welcome to Voyager.
We noticed you started the account creation process using code MAVS100.
To handle the influx of new users, we’ve added a waitlist that we plan to lift shortly. Rest assured, once you complete your account creation, fund your account with $100 or more, and make your first trade, you will still receive your $100 CRYPTO REWARD regardless of the 48-hr offer expiration.
Keep your eyes out for further updates and we’re glad to have you on board.
Team Voyager
That’s great news — it looks like they intend to make good on the offer as long as you get on the waitlist during the offer period. I wouldn’t recommend waiting on this if interested. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets pulled early.
While there is obviously some risk here, it seems that Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks have tied themselves up with Voyager, so I expect the platform won’t collapse in short order. You do need to deposit $100 and make one trade of at least $10. I don’t see any requirement to invest in a specific cryptocurrency, so it looks like you could buy $10 worth of USDC (a “stablecoin” pegged to the US Dollar that should maintain its value).
I typically avoid account bonuses worth less than $150 unless they involve very little effort and I can at least double up in two-player mode. With a single $100 deposit and single $10 trade required, this fit the bill for a super easy account bonus that should make me and my wife about two hundred bucks richer in the next ten days (of course Bitcoin is very volatile, so that $100 may be worth more or less than $100 very quickly). I don’t see any restriction against selling the Bitcoin as soon as you get it and withdrawing, though I’ll probably let it ride as Bitcoin. Bitcoin is up more than 360% over the past year as of the time of writing. It is hard to imagine that pace of growth being sustained over the coming year, but I’ll play with the house’s money and hope that the ride isn’t over.

How is everyone handling the tax reporting for this?

Same issue with the Etoro and Vuse on SB for NYS residents.
I signed up last night, got waitlisted. I happen to try to login to the Voyager app this morning and was able to complete sign-up and transfer over $100 and immediately purchased $20 in BTC. Later, I got an email that I am off the waitlist. I happen to check the app this evening and see that I already got the $100 worth of free BTC, however purchased at a high BTC price, which it is now slightly below (ouch). No email that I received the $100 credit already!
Interesting. When I open the app and try to click around anywhere it tells me that I am on the waitlist and they’ll contact me. And I opened my account early afternoon yesterday. Same for my wife.
I opened an account (and got waitlist mess., np), but there was never an opportunity to enter the Mavs code. I guess that was a waste of 5 min. Oh well.
Same here
On Android, I entered the Mavs code when I was setting my email/username and password for an account. There was a spot for “Reward Code”. Of course I got the waitlist message, so TBD if it will work out.
damn. I didn’t see the place for code. C’est la vie.
I didn’t see it either when I downloaded the app and signed up.
It threw up a message about letting me know when Voyager was available in my state. FYI, I’m in Minnesota.
Do you know the deadline to deposit the $100 and trade the $10? Is that midnight on the 30th too?
