Advantages: Easy to use -quick - nice range of prizes

Disadvantages: maybe not a huge amount of competitions compared to some of th ebigger sites

I came across this site last week completely by accident, but I'm really glad I did , because I reckon this is a really good site for anyone who likes to enter competitions.

It's a site that has links to various competitions that companies are running online. It's pretty similar to loquax and competitions -online in it's format (If you've ever visited one of those sites)

The competitions/prizes are split into 16 different categories,and what I like about this site is the fact that on it's homepage it tells you exactly how many competitions are on offer in total, in each category, and how many are going to close today.

Today 4/4 there are currently 824 competitions in 16 categories. these are

Books and magazines 33 prizes
Cars 25 prizes
Cash 21
Clothes 29
Computers 51
Consoles 54
Electrical 59
Films and Television 61
Food and Drink 56
Gadgets 4
Holidays and Travel 87
Home and Garden 29
Miscellaneous 87
Music 43
Sports 15
Tickets and Events 70

You can click on the categories to find whats on offer, or you have a choice of clicking on closing today or Latest Prizes (shows all the new prizes offered ) They also have categories for Daily,Weekly,Monthly and Tiebreak competitions.

The site also has a box displaying the sites top six prizes -why it's top six I don't know, five or ten maybe, but six seems an odd number - anyway these top prizes include
a Suzuki Vitara, 10 bars of gold an Audi coupe and cash among others.

When you find a competition you think you’d like to enter click the more details link and it takes you to a page that gives you more specific details about that competition. It tells you
the prize, the promoter (company), Closing Date, Entry frequency (if you can have multiple entries), Competition type (whether you have to register with site) entry method (email, web. postal) Restriction (UK only etc) more info(if there are any detailed criteria for entry like age etc). Basically it tells you everything you need to know about the competition you are interested in.

It also displays a hyperlink to the actual website of the company who's holding the competition. I think this is a really good idea, because at some other sites, like competition online, while they do have some details about the competition, I personally just think this site gives a bit more info. If you don't want the hassle of going through a registration process, then you know beforehand and so you can discount that competition.

They state at the website that the site is updated with new competitions and prizes being added on a daily basis.It tells you how many new prizes have been added over th elast couple of days and you can also subscribe to a free weekly newsletter that tells you all the new competitions and prizes that have been added that week.

I don't enter a huge number of competitions, but I have visited most of the other competition sites and I must say this one compares very favourably with them. I used to visit competitions -online(now prizefinder I believe) but this site is quicker has a better layout and is just a bit more user friendly, in my opinion.

This site doesn't have the vast choice of Loquax ,but I think it has a pretty good cross section of prizes, and I like the way they have categorised the competitions/prizes.

It's a site I've visited a few times since I've found it, and one I will use regularly . For anyone who only enters a couple of competitions now and again , to the more serious comper, I think this site has something to suit everyone.

A site I'd recommend.
