    There was no interest on Yotta accounts. Originally, when you signed up, you were given a lottery ticket everyday for every 25$ in the account. There was a lottery everyday where you could win up to 25000. Then they switched to games where you essentially gambled with the tickets that were given based on your amount.

    I was once a member but pulled the money when interest rates started to rise. I was lucky.

    I’ll also note, when signing up, I was given the impression this FDIC insured.
