Unlike other crypto providers, you don't have to set up a wallet and transfer your Bitcoin to it. The custody of your cryptocurrencies is free of charge for you and you can withdraw them in euros at any time.
Can I convert my Bitcoin from voucher redemptions back into euros?
Of course you can have your Bitcoin paid out to your bank account in Euros. This is possible in the dashboard of your account.
I cannot find the email to activate my gift cards. Can you help me?
Please check your spam folder. If you still cannot find the email, please contact our customer service via the support form, e-mail or phone and we will be happy to help.
Which exchange rate do you use and how is it calculated?
As the reference rates, our solution uses the exchange rate as provided byour partner crypto exchanges. For the redemption rate, a mark up of 4% is added to the reference rate to cover cost and risk. The expected redemption rate is displayed when you redeem your gift card. The redemption rate at the time of redemption is applied. If you keep your gift card for 1 year until you redeem, you will receive the redemption rate at that day and time.
