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 have played at UWINIT for several months before I realized they are thieves and UWINIT is a National Scam Artist, I went on UWINIT recently and I got 1 winit per ticket, then my winits started doubling, suddenly I had more Winits than tickets that I put in, I started watching closely they were giving me my winits and holding back my tickets by taking all my tickets back and doubled my winits. I’m familiar with this type of scam artist after allowing Sweepzilla to steal my tickets, they are giving those tickets to friends, family members, or keeping them! Report to FTC online, Report to BBB online, Facebook is a Social media site warn all people who may be their customers!

I have been playing UWINIT for almost a year, and I still can’t seem to win a thing, but I see other people’s names along with the prizes that they’ve won.

I won the daily $20 about 4 weeks ago and till now they have not paid. the prize dept just keeps ignoring my emails. I have won on winloot, prizecraze, rewardit and sweep4all. these have all paid within 5 days. Uwinit definately a scam!

This one star is aimed at their customer service. Every sweepstakes site will tell you over and over, to keep your email address updated so that you don’t possibly miss out on a winner email. Some sites and other tips I’ve read, advise creating a special email just for all your sweeps. This makes perfect sense, so that’s what I did. I am currently doing 5 sweeps, so I went into my account page for each one and updated my email address. Perfect, right?? Well, it was with four of them…but, the computer for Uwinit proceeded to erase ALL my other information (address, DOB, etc.) and…ON IT’S OWN…created a whole new account!! They kept sending emails to my other address, and it took me a few days to realize what was going on. So I explained to them what happened and asked if they could please link them as I didn’t want to lose all the entries I had already done with the old email. Now, I really expected them to say something like ‘we apologize for the mistake, we will fix it for you ‘ or ‘we apologize for the inconvenience, unfortunately, there is no way to link them ‘..or SOMETHING like that. Their response? They made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that I had violated the rules of having two accounts and they will NOT combine the two. Sooo, what part of my email did they NOT comprehend? So my next message to them was, I admit, a little more passionate. But I NEVER used any fowl language, I NEVER accused them of fraud or illegal activity of any kind. I always maintained that the computer had somehow screwed things up. They responded with threats of discontinuing all my accounts and said that I was being abusive!!!! Can you believe that???! Now, I have messaged them many times in the past without so much as a peep….but say something negative about the game, and they will respond IMMEDIATELY and they refuse to take any responsibility for what THEIR computer did to me. So, I have to wonder…HOW MANY OTHER players have they done this too. Steer clear of Uwinit!!!
