What “€50 worth of crypto” actually means
The euro figure is a conversion at a moment in time. The thing you hold afterwards is a coin, and coins do not owe you that euro figure.

Promotions like to speak euros because euros feel like a shop price. “€50 worth of crypto” is not a €50 note sitting inside the app. It is an instruction: take a euro amount, divide by a crypto price, and credit you the resulting fraction of a coin. The moment that division happens, you own inventory, not a voucher.
That distinction is the whole essay. If you remember it, the rest of the offer is harder to misuse.
The conversion, without theatre
Suppose the reward is calculated when a coin trades at €50,000. Fifty euros would be a very small fraction of one coin. If the price used is €25,000, the same €50 buys twice the fraction. You did not get a better promotion in the second case. You got more units of something cheaper. Your euro starting point is what the phrase promised. The unit count is just division.
The price the venue uses may be a spot reference, a slightly worse execution price, or a price at a specific timestamp. You will not know which until you read the terms and the credit in your history. Screenshot the credit. Write the date, the coin, the unit count, and the euro “worth” they displayed.
Why it will not stay €50
An hour later the coin can move. Your reward can show €46 or €61. Nothing malfunctioned. You are marked to market, which is a pompous way to say the last price changed. People feel cheated by the €46 and gifted by the €61. Both feelings are a misunderstanding of inventory.
Selling immediately to “get back to euros” may or may not recover something near €50 after the spread. It may also be a disposal for tax. This desk does not know your country well enough to call that harmless. The tax sketch is a map, not a ruling. If the amount is small, the admin can still matter more than the euros, which is a reason to keep records tidy from the first credit.
How it stacks with the deposit that unlocked it
The condition published here is a deposit of at least €50, plus sign-up through https://join.robinhood.com/eu_crypto/isaakhv-3dd00a/. If you use the link to sign up and deposit at least €50, you'll receive €50 worth of crypto as a reward. You may therefore see two lines that both started life as “about €50”: the crypto you bought with the deposit, and the crypto that arrived as the reward. They are not the same line. One you paid for. One is a promotion.
Together they are about €100 of exposure at the starting marks, before fees and before any move in price, and only if the deposit was converted into crypto rather than left as cash. Read whether “deposit” means cash into the account or a completed purchase. Those are different hurdles. Hitting the wrong one is a common way to miss a promotion and then blame the link.
A record that will still make sense in April
One row per movement. Date. Euros you sent from your bank. Units bought. Fee, if shown. Units received as a reward. The euro worth displayed that day. Venue name. The link you used, so you can show it was this referral and not a cousin of it. That is enough for a human adviser to start, which is the standard a note should meet.
Do not inflate the story when you retell it. You did not “make €50” in the way a wage is made. You received an inventory grant that was worth €50 at a calculation time, financed in spirit by a marketing budget, and you took market risk the moment it credited. Say it that way and you will make better second decisions. The full offer page is here.
