Coinbase publishes October BTC Drops rules
October rules describe one $100,000 BTC prize and 100 $500 BTC prizes for eligible U.S. participants. A conflicting closed-promotion banner remains on the card landing page.
The essentials
Update facts
- Rules period, Pacific Time
- Oct 1-31
- One BTC prize
- $100,000
- Additional BTC prizes
- 100 × $500
- Maximum entries
- 25
Eligibility and limits
- The official rules specify October 1-31, 2026, Pacific Time, for eligible residents of the 50 U.S. states and DC age 18 or the local age of majority. This is a random drawing, not a guaranteed card reward.
What changed
Eligible card spend earns one entry per $100; eligible retail trading is another entry route. A mail-in method without purchase is available. The combined maximum is 25 entries per person, email address and household.
The rules list one $100,000 prize and 100 $500 prizes, paid in BTC, with a drawing around November 9. The card landing page's closed-promotion banner conflicts with these dated October rules; confirm participation status with Coinbase. No guaranteed bonus or live enrolment is implied.
