With the number of competition websites available today, you may be wondering what makes one stand out from the masses.
Well, in truth, many of these websites offer the same things. However, none of them executes these features in the same way.
In this Compaigns.com.au review, we will look at one competition website that offers a lot and clearly stands out from the competition. We will also delve into how well it achieves its goal of allowing you to enter the best free sweepstakes and draws.
How Does Compaigns.com.au Work?
Compaigns acts as a noticeboard for all the best free draws available online. The team behind the site spend hours scouring the Internet to find these draws.
They then go through the draws’ terms and conditions to check that everything seems above board and post them to the site.
There is no requirement to register a user account to make use of the site’s services.
However, even if you don’t choose to register an account, you will need to provide your name, age, gender, and postal code before you can enter any draws.
If you choose to register an account, you will get access to the limited additional features that we will talk about later. Registration is free and can be completed quickly.
To register, just click the Sign Up button at the top of the screen. You can register using your existing Facebook account or provide your information to open an account. This information consists of your name, postal code, age, gender, and email address.
After providing your information or registering a user account, you can begin browsing the site for any comp that catches your eye.
One of the things we love most is that each draw's terms and conditions are posted with the listing. This means that you can see all the draw rules and if you are eligible for it without ever leaving the draw post.
If you have found a draw that interests you, you can click on the Enter Now link attached to the sweep post.
Clicking this link will take you to the official entry site for the draw. This is usually the website of the company or brand that is hosting the draw. Here, you can follow the on-screen prompts to enter.
Is Compaigns.com.au Legit or a Scam?
The website is operated by MyNext (Pty) Ltd., a registered Australian company. It also only provides draws that are free to enter.
This makes us believe that the site is quite trustworthy and you shouldn’t have any worry about using it.
As always when it comes to free sweep sites, there is one concern when using the site: spam.
This is a common by-product of these types of websites. To get around it, we recommend using an email address that is separate from your main address if you choose to register.
User Experience
The Compaigns website is very pretty to look at. The design is both modern and simple and is laid out in a very practical way. The site also loads quickly, and you can move around the site smoothly.
Navigation is all controlled by the top menu bar. From here, you can filter the competitions that you are shown, access your account, add a competition to the listings, and contact support.
Each draw listing is also displayed neatly and conveniently. There is just enough information about the draw to get you interested, and the entry and rules links are easy to see at a glance.
The website looks just as good on mobile and is easy to use even on smaller screens. This is great considering there is no app for the site.
Lotteries Available
Lotteries are not one of the features that you will find on Compaigns.com.au. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of great draws available. In fact, there are hundreds of sweeps that will grab your attention with their fantastic prizes.
As mentioned earlier, these prizes are sorted into different categories to allow you to quickly and easily find the draws you are looking for. The categories consist of the following:
Major Prize
Cash and Vouchers
Experiences (including travel)
Consumer Products
Home and Appliances
Compaigns.com.au Extras
There are not many additional features offered by Compaigns.com.au. Those offered are:
Daily Newsletter: Registering an account will automatically add your email address to the Compaigns mailing list. You will then receive a daily newsletter that contains all the latest sweeps and draws added to the site. The site states that you will have the option to opt out of receiving these emails if they become too much.
My Dashboard: This section of the site gives you the ability to see all competitions you have clicked on and visited. This is a great resource to help you identify draws you have likely already entered from those you have not.
Payment/Withdrawal Options
Considering that everything offed on the site is free to enter, there are no payment options available. It follows then that there are also no withdrawal methods.
How to Claim Your Winnings
The claims procedure for each draw is set by the company or brand that is organising it. Because of this, this process is different for each sweep.
The process for reach listing is generally stated in the terms and conditions for that listing.
As we mentioned above, these terms are posted alongside the draw listing and can easily be viewed.
It is recommended that you check the procedure for claiming a prize before entering.
Customer Support
While there is no FAQ section or help centre available for customer support, Compaigns features a few ways to contact support should you need to.
These ways take the form of an online form, a contact number (02 9030 0378), a support email address (info@compaigns.com.au), and a physical address (MyNext Pty Ltd., c/o Fishburners, Level 2, 11 York St, Sydney NSW 2000).
There is no mention of the operating hours for the contact number or how long it may take to receive a response to a query submitted via email or the online form.
Rules and Regulations
There are no restrictions on who can use Compaigns.com.au. All draws listed on the site are, however, aimed at the Australian comping market. Therefore, we assume that the website is only for Australians.
Each draw has its own rules relating to who can enter. These rules are listed in the terms and conditions attached to each listing.
Compaigns.com.au Review Conclusion
As far as free sweepstakes sites go, Compaigns.com.au is one of the better ones that we have come across. This is an achievement considering how much competition there is out there.
Aside from the site's decent design and usability, there are plenty of great draws to enter. The additional features are nothing to snarl about either.
If we had any complaints, it would be that there could be slightly better functionality in terms of additional features.
One example is if a small marker was placed on listings to show that you have already seen them. This would eliminate the need to go and check under your My Dashboard section each time you weren’t entirely sure.
The other thing that annoys us is the requirement to submit your basic information to enter any draws. This is something that we are sure the site could avoid doing.
Regardless, this site is definitely one you should visit if you are looking to get some wonderful freebies. You never know what sort of great prizes may await you.
