Who is RewardHunter?
The "about" page is usually the most boring page on any website. So I flipped it and interviewed myself. The format is made up — the answers are not.
Introduce yourself.
RewardHunter. I hunt broker sign-up offers — free shares, referral codes, interest on uninvested cash — read their terms and test what a new client actually gets.
Why the pseudonym? Afraid to sign your name?
Not afraid. I write about my own accounts at specific brokers, and occasionally about what an offer actually paid out. That is easier to do honestly without my ID card on the table — the same reason nobody walks around with their payslip pinned to their jacket.
"RewardHunter" sounds like someone who tours casinos for welcome bonuses.
Close. Except the casinos are regulated brokers and the chips are real shares. And the point is the opposite of gambling: a sign-up reward is the broker’s marketing budget. You can collect it calmly — if you know exactly what you are signing. That is what this site is for.
How do you make money?
I have run online businesses for years — websites and marketing. This site comes from that world: open an account through my link and the broker pays me a commission. You pay the same either way; the commission comes out of the broker’s marketing budget, not your pocket.
So you are selling me something after all.
There is nothing to sell. A brokerage account is free, the reward is paid by the broker, and you will not find a $500 course here. The deal is transparent: I save you an evening of reading terms; maybe you use my link. If you do not, nothing happens.
Why should I trust you?
You should not — not on my word, anyway. Every offer gets tested on my own account, the guides use my own registration screenshots, and under each article you will find links to the official terms with the date I last checked them. Verify me. When an offer ends, I say so right in the article.
Trickiest thing you have run into while testing?
Not scams — deadlines. A broker gives you seven days to meet the conditions and tells you in an email that lands in the promotions tab. Details like that are the reason this site exists.
You are not an advisor, are you?
No, and I do not play one. No licence, no investment recommendations, no "broker of the year" awards. I write down what brokers offer new clients and under what conditions. Whether investing is right for you is your call — and the value of investments can fall as well as rise.
Which brokers do you actually use?
I hold real accounts at XTB and eToro. Without my own account I would have no way to test the sign-up flow, the code field, or whether the reward actually arrives — which are exactly the three things I write about.
Why eleven languages?
Because offers differ by country — different regulator, different taxes, sometimes a completely different reward. The same broker runs one promotion in Prague and another in Milan. Each language edition covers its own market; none of them is a translation.
What will I not find here?
Paid courses, signals, "guaranteed strategies" or best-broker rankings. I am not licensed to recommend — and I will not pretend otherwise.
Anything personal?
I live in Central Europe and run on a laptop and coffee. That is all you get out of an anonymous guy. 🙂
Thanks for the interview.
My pleasure. For once the interviewer asked exactly the right questions.
