I guess I've been with them a while.
Competitions Guide is a good place for someone starting out in the "Entering Competitions" life. Just don't rely on it to pay the bills.
Great website! I visit almost daily as there is always new competitions with great prizes. Awesome mix of competition types and the site is set out in an easy way to use and keep track of which comps you've entered. Love it!
Thanks Jamie, much appreciated! Glad you mentioned the 'mix' as it's the main objective we have every day - trying to balance a range of different comps to appeal to as many members as we can!
I've always enjoyed entering competitions as a hobby, Competitions Guide has allowed me access to many competitions in one place for a very small reasonable yearly fee. I have managed to win some amazing prizes over the years with their help and has definitely paid off not only in prizes but it has also been a lot of fun.
Thanks Emily, always appreciate reviews like this. If you could add your prize list to our 'what have you won' page that would be great, would love to see it :)
Big fan of the site and it's a massive time saver having all the current competitions pooled together in one place. They have sales on the subscription fees so if you want a steal, just wait but I've won numerous things off this site, paid full price for the yearly subscription and can confidently say I got my moneys worth 10x over in prizes.
The yearly fee is worth it, I have won many competitions via this site (a few thousand dollars worth), I've won visa cards, a new phone
Flight vouchers, toys for the kids and more. I love how easy it is to track which comps I've entered too by clicking the tick and favourite the ones I want to come back to.
I don't understand why people have left bad reviews for this website, in addressing some complaints I've seen others mention... It would take work to maintain it so why would they offer it for free. They do filter our the scam competitions which is great, of course you will get emails from the companies who have run the competitions because that is usually their aim (I. E subscribe to their newsletter and go in the draw to win). I don't expect competitions guide to post the winners or contact me as they are merely taking the time to find the non scammy comps and share the links to these comps on their site.
Hi Mindy,
Very appreciated, and thank you for defending our position. Competitions are one of those things people either love or hate, there's not much of an in between.
Negative comments about us or competitions are expected :)
I have signed up to a few competition sites, but Competitions Guide is by far the best one. It is so time saving and convenient to have all of the available competitions at the one website, without the need to hunt through the internet to find them. I also love that I can highlight my 'favourites' as well as mark them completed.
Really nice to hear from you Danielle, the favourites section is one of those tools particularly used for tracking comps that have closed in the past. Always good to hear someone making use of these features!
First thing every morning I do my competitions on your website. Every day there are new ones to do, and I have won some prizes from your website! It's lots of fun and I thoroughly enjoy Competitions Guide!
I wasn't aware this was an auto-renewal subscription, however, under Australian consumer law the supplier is required to advise you that the renewal is due so you have the option to cease or continue. Despite several emails with Ivy, I was unsuccessful in getting a refund even though I contacted them one day after seeing the renewal go through my bank. She even challenged me to lay a complaint with the ACCC, as that is what I have done. They don't follow the law and should be avoided at all cost.
Hi Les, our terms are extremely brief and easy to read. On two occasions you have manually checked the box that says you have read and understood our auto renewal process. We require new members to do this when they join, and further do this before purchasing a Go Premium Subscription. Auto renewal takes seconds to cancel and is instant.
We have not challenged you to contact the ACCC - our exact quote to you was "Please feel free to take your complaint anywhere you see fit - we will never intentionally operate outside any law as we service tens of thousands of subscribers each year."
In terms of Australian law, we disagree with your premise, and remind you that you first directed us to the United States Federal Trade Commission. We are more than happy to discuss your case with the ACCC, if you have lodged a complaint as stated this will be the fourth time in 18 years of operation.
Have been a member for 2 years and have won a few prizes. From skincare to electrical, clothing and champagne, I couldn't be happier. A wonderful website that brings the competitions to you.
Thanks Lorraine, amazing to hear. Feel free to list your winnings on the 'what have you won' page - appreciate your comments and rating!
This website has good variety of competitions I am a premium member so enjoy more than STD competitions.
So far so good I look forward to winning in future
Thanks so much, Mike, I presume STD means standard? :) Appreciate you taking the time!

Hi Rob, 4 stars for all of our components and 3 stars overall?... All good, you've been a member for a long time! :) Good point about not relying on competitions - we do get a lot of new members desperate for cash, very sad in these economic times. Competitions should be a hobby, with wins as a bonus.
