What Is Prizeloot?
Each of the prize opportunities at prizeloot.com offers 5 chances each day to enter. Players simply have to complete a page entry for each chance. Make sure you check out the period of the specific prize you are after as each closes at a different time. Overall, it appears the bigger the value of the prize, the longer the competition – the longest being the visa gift card which lasts 4 months.
Who Can Participate?
Check the small print as only “legal residents” of Australia, Canada, and the United States can play here. Oh excluding people in Puerto Rico (for US residents) and Quebec (for Canadian residents). You’ve got to be 18 years or older and not involved in the company or any of their affiliates or families. Reading through the small print, it looks like if your dad is working for Amazon, you can’t play for Amazon gift cards.
What Are the Prizes Offered by Prizeloot?
Don’t look for any mega jackpots here. Prizeloot.com offers prizes ranging from a $25 gift card for Amazon to a $1,000 Visa gift card. There are heaps of other things to win like a MacBook, Cuisinart Coffee Maker, 50” TV, Acer Chromebook, and iPhone. Most of their prizes have a cash alternative. There is no information on who pays the postage for you to get your prize.
Who Owns Prizeloot?
Does this all look familiar? Well, if you’ve been looking at playing for prizes online through free sites, this is a sister site to Winloot, UWinIt, and RewardIt. Each of them offers a different combination of prizes to win for free. They are owned by Sharestakes LLC, a company out of New York State. There are an online form, an email, and a snail mail address but no phone numbers or live chat.
What Are the Terms & Conditions?
One of the things that are consistent in all the prize opportunities here is the five steps to go through to get your ‘chance to win’. After registration, complete the first entry page and then click the “Enter to Win”. This takes you to the next page… and the next page… up to five entries per day per prize chance.
How to Collect a Prize?
You’ve won and you’re wondering how long it will take to get your prize. So the ‘promotion period’ ends and Prizeloot says they will choose the winner within ten days. Then they will notify the winner within thirty days by email. Then the winner has thirty days to get back in touch and claim their prize. The winner might have to sign a notarized Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release plus provide a picture. How much does it cost to get something notarized these days? Oh, and any Canadian winner has to answer a skills test.
Prizeloot Feedback and Complaints
There doesn’t seem to be any complaints or any feedback on prizeloot.com, but then again it also looks like it is the youngest site of Sharestakes LLC. Looking at the complaints on Winloot is enough to pause for playing here. The biggest question is whether or not you’ll actually get your prize.

Is Prizeloot Legit?
This is yet another free prize site that wants your email address and your time to look at advertising. They are marketing products which are what pay for the prizes and their operations. If you’ve got the time to sit there and click, click, click, then you might win something.
I get that nothing is really free but I certainly do not want to be the recipient of endless spam. In Prizeloot’s privacy statement, they say that they are going to use your personal information to “provide you with a personalized experience by displaying content and delivering offers”.
Prizeloot.com gets a thumbs-down. If you are a winner here, please let me know and I might rethink this.

I won $20 daily 2 months ago. I emailed prizeloot 3 times to say, hey I never received the prize. Not, after 6 yrs of playing, this is the first time I won. I was so happy.
They never got back to me, never received prize, ignored me like I didn’t exist, and I play every single day at 4 am.
So now I think they are a scam, definitely a scam. I don’t play prizeloot anymore. You would never think I was a sweeper.
Same thing happened to me with The Winning Key. Played so much for so long and FINALLY they said I won $20 but I NEVER got it. Here I was happy I finally won a little something for all my efforts and then they don’t send it! I contacted them many times, emailing them the email I received stating I won, but never a reply! There are several similar sites and I am now finding out that there are these issues with them. I am not going to waste my time, hours & hours entering for nothing! My time is precious. They make people believe they are a legit contest site but I found out they are really just making affiliate money from their ads and the clicks people do. That is why so many of the sites make you click 10x for each prize to have the “best chance” of winning that prize. Most of the owners of these sites won’t give you their last name either. Ligit sites will!! Ligit sites give you the prize when you win & answer you emails! Notice the same names of winners over & over?????

I’ve been playing for 6 years. I finally won $20 daily prize 3 weeks ago. I went for the Amazon gift card instead of cash.
I never received it. I emailed them twice. They never got back to me. So much for winning the smallest prize finally. I’m very disappointed in prizeloot.

ONCE AGAIN..AFTER MY LAST COMMENT..3 DAYS AGO
(AND THEN I WON $20..WHEN IT DID NOT LET ME ENTER?…Payoff?)
for the last two days every time I try to enter I get this message
We can’t process your request.
Definitely a scam…it happens every time a contest is due to be paid
read the other comments
The guy that “won” the $77,777 contest was never paid
What would you think?

It is a goddamn scam…I have been entering it daily..but every time it gets close to the time to deliver a major prize..it says “sorry a Problem occurred” and locks me out…this is the third time it has happened.
There is not even a Facebook sight to advice them of this…as soon as you hit the prizeloot image..it stops everything.
I have been using google chrome on the same laptop for years.
so the only problem I can see is that they are receiving their huge sums of advertising revenues and stealing from the contestants…though they always seem to list the name of “Winners”
Notice the list of winners has a lot of repeat winners? How could that be? With all the people entering how can the same people win over & over and I have been playing for years and never won once.
