The "Back to the Basics" Spinwheel - August 2021

Available to Fold Cardholders July 28 - August 11, 2021

No pleb left behind

Bitcoin is for everyone. And one of the best ways we here at Fold support this is by changing up our post-purchase spinwheel every 2 weeks based on what we hear everyone saying about their sat-stacking experience.

While the Summer Games Spinwheel specifically rewarded large purchases, it also paid out huge:

Millionaires... millionaires everywhere

However, we also heard LOTS of this:

True, true

Seeing all the big wins was inspiring, but we knew that we had to make some adjustments to ensure that there was no pleb left behind.

Take sats off the table every day

For the previous wheel, we wanted to make the pain of big bills of purchases sting a bit less. Now that you've (hopefully) got those large purchases out of the way, it is time to return to our roots.

With the "Back to the Basics" Spinwheel, every purchase is guaranteed a solid reward level (with only a small chance of 0.5% pain); all other prizes ensure that you're well-equipped to stack in the 1-2% range.

If you're not earning bitcoin back on every purchase, you're doing it wrong.

6.15 is the magic number

Evening out the odds

We knew we wanted to "flatten" out the wheel but we were scratching our heads on how to keep things exciting.

So we asked for your input:

The response was a resounding YES, so of course we obliged.

Here's everything we did:

β€’ Kept large purchase Over/Under % prizes but with massively reduced odds (~60% to 4%)
β€’ Spiked odds of straight Spending Match prizes of 0.5%-2% back (~30% to 90%!)
β€’ Added the 1 Million Sats prize!
β€’ Set Over/Under % prizes at 21% (duh) and 6.15% (lol)

85% chance to earn a minimum of 1% back
