DISCUSSION
Apart from the idiocy of encouraging people to travel around during the pandemic surge, the source of this “contest” is an online gambling portal.
D isclaimer at the bottom of the contest page:
BonusFinder.com is a user-driven and independent casino review portal.
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, you can call 1-800-GAMBLER. Further, there are several resources you can consult for help, for instance: The National Council on Problem Gambling , Council on Compulsive Gaming – New Jersey , Indiana Problem Gambling Hotline , Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia .”
It’s a toss-up to decide who gets the award for irresponsibility , BonusFinder or Lifehacker. This goes in the “Not Helping” column.

Banks and other transfer services have a dirty little secret. They add hidden markups to their exchange rates – charging you more without your knowledge. And if they have a fee, they charge you twice.
TransferWise never hides fees in the exchange rate. We give you the real rate, independently provided by Reuters. Compare our rate and fee with Western Union, ICICI Bank, WorldRemit and more, and see the difference for yourself.
