I've been a member for many years, first when it was free and then stayed when they moved to yearly membership. I LOVE this site, it's the only one I've found with genuine competitions to enter and I'm on every week to enter as many as I can.
I came here to try my luck and even though I haven't won anything yet I still enjoy entering and feeling hopeful I might be lucky enough to win one day!
Why should we pay a yearly fee, when half the comps are either Facebook or instagram and they are free to anyone
Hi Toni,
All competitions listed on Competitions Guide can be found for free at any time, so nobody has to pay us to enter these competitions.
Joining us as a Go Premium works out at 11 cents a day, and for that we save our members hours of searching for competitions to enter each day. And we're pretty sure that saving money can cost you missing out on good comps that you won't find through your own searching.
There's another thing. If you're wondering how free competitions websites operate, it's not because they're great people who like to do stuff for others. A competition website is a great way to get to your valuable information, and these sites ask a lot of questions.
Because we make money from subscriptions we only ask for a few general pieces of info. We don't need to know your phone number or street address, or actual birth date...
We also don't allow businesses to post their own competitions - everything posted at Competitions Guide has been verified by our editorial! :)
I have been doing Competitions Guide for over two years and have never won a thing. But i'll keep going
Hi Lee, it's disappointing that an ongoing member would leave a one star review based on not winning. Remember, we do not run these competitions, we list them and provide as many tips as we possibly can to help our members win. Shooting the messenger isn't the answer. Instead, why not drop us a line and we'll take a look at your activity and see if we can suggest some ways you can improve your win ratio - we're happy to help!
I have been with competionsguide from the very beging, when comps were only posted on a tuesday, i have been very lucky and won quite a few comps, the latest being a $10,000 outdoor kitchen, i have also had the pleasure of being on a current affairs twice and i did a documantary on comping as well, some thing i never thought would happen, all thanks to competions guide. I will say though most people think that if you enter a comp today it should be drawn within in a week, they need to remember what you enter today may not be drawn months down the track or even the following year.
I enter the outdoor kitchen early last year, so i had forgotten id entered till i got the call saying id won.
Entering comps is exciting and enjoyable, my total winnings to date is close to $250.000 thats everything from holidays to a spider vac lol.
For those reading this review, Hellen has been possibly our biggest and most consistent winners for more years than I can remember. Hellen appeared on A Current Affair displaying her wins, and most recently picked up a massive outdoor kitchen. Thanks for the review, Hellen, I was hoping we'd hear from you at some stage :)
Have entered a few competitions but have not won yet. Wondering if its real as i dont know anyone else thats won
Hi Samantha, If you take a look at our Winner's pages you'll find more winners than you could hope for, and remember these are only members that have chosen to tell us about their wins. Also, if you scroll down the list of competitions you'll see that most are either big name brands, or brands that you would be likely to recognise.
Okay, now to the hard part, as you said you've entered a few competitions but have not won yet. One of the most important things to remember is to treat comps as a numbers game. Although therre is no guarantee, one of our most successful members has given a 1:100 ratio of expected wins. 100 comps may sound like a lot, but we publish at least 300 every month. If you can keep your numbers up the wins should follow - nothing is ever easy, but it can be done :)
Joined after seeing this on Channel 9, no mention of monthly joining fee, can't enter anything without paying "Premium" membership, can't even enter the Vaxxed comps, this will be quickly deleted and unsubscribed, if you can't mention there is a cost involved on the TV, don't surprise me with it after I join.
Hi Grant, the Channel 9 show you mentioned was the National News. We were asked to comment on the vaccination competition that was being run at the time. At no time do we get asked questions about our business model, that's not what the news is there for (and we would have happily answered if we were asked).
I've had a couple of wins, so far! Biggest was $200. But, it's great fun and not overly time consuming! As they say, you've got to be in it to win it...
This site just sells your info to others. Never won anything just got bugged full on by other 3rd parties, constant phone calls and emails. So annoying.
Hi Kat,
We don't sell info to others, it's that simple. Firstly to do so without stating this in terms and conditions is illegal, and secondly we would have very little to sell anyway.
Think about it - we don't ask for your phone number or street address when you sign up. These are the most valuable commodities to an information harvester.
Yes, 3rd party contact is a fact of competitions that we don't take part in, but it does exist.
I've only ever won a very small prize from a yogurt they were giving away there gym pants a few years ago

Thanks Emma, not sure how long you've been a member but keep an eye on the 'best odds' comps. There's one right now for Canadian Club - they run 1-2 a year and are good for easy wins! Thanks again for taking the time!
