Advantages: you can win, free
Disadvantages: none
I stumbled across competitions-online.co.uk about a year ago, and haven't looked back since. I have had a steady flow of prizes, which cheers me up no end when I get a a parcel I don't have to pay for.
THE WEBSITE:
The site itself is pretty basic, but it doesn't need to be full of pictures or extras. All you are there for is to enter a comp right?
LAYOUT:
Each section runs down the left side, giving you easy access to the right sort of competition you are looking for, whether it be, Computers, Books, Toys, etc.
There are also sections for 'New additions', 'closing soon', 'weekly', 'daily', 'tie breakers'.
I particularly like the 'closing soon' section as I know it wont be long until the winner is drawn.
EASE:
Once clicking on the category you are interested in, you get taken to the list of competitions available to enter. There are a few sentences for each prize, stating, closing date, prize, what you have to do to enter (normally just answer a question, although sometimes you are asked to register), and any restrictions, eg, Only open to students.
Most competitions are open to UK members aged 18 or over, but there is the odd comp that is for kids or students like I said.
HOME PAGE:
There is a competiton running at the moment which pops up when you enter the site. They are offering £5000 if you can tell them who the President of America is. The choices are-
- Ronald Regan
- George Bush
- Theodore Roosevelt
The answer is George Bush just in case you didn't know.
They are also giving away a Playstation 2 every day if you click on the link and register with Vizzavi. I did this and it was pretty painless. I've got nothing to lose after all.
Other features on the home page are a space for you to enter your e-mail address and receive weekly comnpetitio
n updates. Also there is a section for you to add your own competition to the site.
The site overall is very fast, and I have never found a broken link yet.
I would reccomend this site as I know I have won things:
- a telegram teddy
- books
- a talking robot
- toaster (worth £129) - particularly proud of this one.
To name a few. Nothing really big has come my way yet, but you never know. I'm hanging out for that trip of a lifetime, or a new car.
