How can I participate in the Deposit Bonus Promotion 2026?

Updated

Summary: Between 25 June and 30 September 2026, you could earn a bonus of up to 10% on your new crypto deposits. This promotion has ended, and the bonuses were paid out on 7 October 2026.

During our temporary Deposit Bonus Promotion, you could earn a bonus on your crypto deposits. By depositing new crypto into your Bitvavo account and enabling our earn features, you could receive a bonus of up to 10% APY (Annual Percentage Yield), with a maximum reward of €10,000.

How it worked

To earn the bonus, participants followed these four steps:

  1. Opt in: You had to opt in to the promotion via the Campaign Hub in the Bitvavo app.

  2. Enable auto-earn: Auto-earn had to be turned on for both staking and lending in the Earn section of your account.

  3. Deposit crypto: Crypto had to be transferred from an external wallet to your Bitvavo account. Fiat (euros) and stablecoins did not count toward this promotion.

  4. Trade to earn more (optional): Depositing alone earned a base bonus of 4% APY. By trading your newly deposited funds, you could increase your bonus to up to 10% APY, based on your trading volume.

* APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Because the bonus was paid over the roughly 100-day Promotion Period (25 June – 30 September 2026), the actual percentage of net new deposits was lower than the APY figure: 4% APY equalled about 1.1%, and 10% APY equalled about 2.7%. Indicative only — not binding. Actual payouts could differ based on withdrawals, eligibility checks, excluded volume and promotion terms.

Promotion terms (summary)

This promotion was organised by Bitvavo B.V. Participation was subject to the full promotion terms and conditions and the User Agreement.

  • The promotion was open to eligible residents of the EEA and Switzerland, aged 18+, with a verified Bitvavo account.
  • Net new deposits: crypto deposited from an external source during the Promotion Period, minus withdrawals during that period.
  • For the turnover multiple, net new deposits were measured as the highest net new deposit balance reached during the Promotion Period; later withdrawals reduced the accrual (section 5) but did not increase the multiple.
  • The bonus accrued pro rata per day with auto-earn enabled; days without auto-earn did not accrue.
  • The total bonus was capped at 10% APY and €10,000 per user, and was paid out in euros on 7 October 2026.
  • After payout, an amount equal to the bonus cannot be withdrawn for 180 days (it can still be used on the platform).
  • Bitvavo could disqualify participants for abuse or unlawful behaviour, and could amend or withdraw the promotion at its discretion.

Staking and lending

Auto-earn uses staking and lending. Staking is provided by Bitvavo B.V. Lending is provided by Bitvavo Custody B.V. Staking and lending are currently not regulated under MiCA. This means the safeguards and protections that apply to regulated crypto services may not extend to these services.

Rewards from staking and lending can change, assets may have limited tradability while staked or lent, and you may lose some or all of your crypto.
