Robinhood has a famous promotion that lets you receive a free stock in exchange for signing up for their service. The offer is legitimate, meaning you can get a free stock as long as you register for their platform. After you sign up, the stock should be automatically transferred to your account, free of charge.
The catch is that the stock is random — meaning as a user, you don’t have any say in the stock you receive. So if you are looking for a premium tech company like Apple, your chances are pretty low.
As with all free offers, it’s best to avoid signing up for Robinhood’s service based on this promotion alone. Sign up because you like the platform and what the company offers, and think of the promotion as a freebie that you can take or leave.
