UWinIt Review
Do you have the time to do into a website each day and click, click, click to win? UWinIt has a good range of prizes to win ranging from $5000 cash down to $25 gift cards. Okay, you might end up with a heck of a lot of ad-sponsored spam mail, but then again, the games are free and the only way to win is to play.

What Is UWinIt?
UWinIt is a free prize giveaway site with daily prizes. They have a catchphrase of “no catches” but at the same time, the reality is this is an advertising site. There appears to be a limit to how many entries are permitted for each of the prizes available, though I did get a bit suspicious when all the prizes remaining have 5 or 10 entries remaining. There is no information on exactly how many entries are permitted in total. The winners’ page doesn’t help as it also simply posts more prizes to win.
Who Can Participate?
Here’s another prize play that it’s important to read the small print. UWinIt.com says you must be a legal resident and living in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, or the United States (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) and must e 18 years or older.
What Are the Prizes Offered by UWinIt?
There is a heap of prizes to win at UWinIt.com ranging from daily to longer term. Basically, the bigger the prize the longer the contest period. Their biggest prize is US $5000 and it looks like that runs for six months. Other prizes include an IPad Mini 2, LG 49”1080p LED TV, Samsung Chromebook 2, and Amazon Gift Cards ranging from $500 down to $25. There are Mcdonalds’, Gap, and Chipotle gift cards, plus money ranging from $100 upwards. There are two $25 Amazon gift cards given daily.
Who Owns UWinIt?
It looks like UWinIt is owned by Sharestakes, LLC., a company out of Hicksville, New York. There is a snail mail address and online form. There are no phone numbers or online chat. There was an email address in the terms and conditions for canceling membership. There was some information on other sites that it might have originally been owned by Amazon.com which sorta makes sense given the type of prizes.
What Are the Terms & Conditions?
Each of the prizes has its own terms and conditions though there are some general things that seem to apply to all. Players can submit ten entries per day (though there are a few that only allow 5). Membership can be canceled at any time by email. Keep in mind, this site is free so there really isn’t anything to cancel except the chance to win.
How to Collect a Prize?
Each of the different prizes has its own rules though there are some general things that seem to apply. In most cases, the draws take place within ten days of closing the contest. Some of the smaller prizes take place within 1 day (Amazon $25 gift cards). Winners are notified within thirty days by email plus have thirty days to file the necessary documentation. For Canadians, there is also a skill-testing question that has to be answered.
UWinIt Feedback and Complaints
Looking at complaints, things got a bit interesting. The biggest complaint seems to be for all prizes, postage is applicable. There were several complaints saying that they went all the way through an ad-sponsored site and got down to winning something, paid the postage, and then waited to no avail. The prize didn’t come. They contacted customer service but simply got the runaround.

Is UWinIt.com Legit?
It looks like the prizes directly related to UWinIt are pretty straightforward and there aren’t any complaints that players didn’t get their prizes. Though, it would be better if they actually posted some of the winners on their website. But, this site links to ad sponsors who are outside of UWinIt. There could be some questions on whether these folks deliver. If you’ve got the time and don’t mind getting spammed with ads and other game opportunities, then UWinIt could be a place to win some prizes.
UWinIt.com gets a reserved thumb’s up. If you’ve got the time to go in regularly and play and deal with the anticipated spam email from other ad sponsors, you will have a chance to win some prizes.

I WON!!!! No kidding! $25 gift card. Cool!
Too bad I JUST FOUND the notification email, now 2 mos. old!

If so, I will give them 5 stars!?

Once you sign up there is no cancelling the daily emails they send you even though there is a link that states as such to cancel. Also when you write them ‘again’ requesting to be removed from the daily emails they give a bull pucky reply that it takes over ten days for this to occur. Now it has been almost two months and they ignore my requests to the point where I am banned from contacting them. My suggestion is don’t get involved with this ‘contest’ site.

Fun to play when I have time. I received a lot of emails giving me extra tokens but have yet to win. I get lots of emails indicating that I am in the running for prize but when I research it, I see the other person’s name in the winners list. So when that it is a time filler during my dialysis, I will continue to play. Good luck to me and everyone else.

Hello, have been entering have not won a single cent!
I like playing the pick it game the most I have it is five or 6 numbers, but I let the game pick my numbers, when I start playing its hard for me to quit, I just know I’m going to get 10 numbers, and I keep saying 5 more times and 5 more times until a hundred or two have passed and I have built up all kinds of points to register for 5000 drawing, or for target card, at least I could buy me some clothes if I hit the 250 target card Lol!
