Gaming Giveaways is a UK-based competitions and giveaways platform that sells tickets for the chance to win tech, video game, car, watch, cash and collectible prizes. The site presents itself as the "UK's No.1 Gaming Competition" and, according to its own data, has over 150,000 players, 50,000 winners and more than £10 million given away in prizes. On Trustpilot it shows a rating of 4.5 stars.

Prize catalogue

The offering is organised into several categories: cars, watches, gaming, Pokémon, LEGO and cash. Among the active or recent competitions are a BMW M3 Comp, a watch from the MEGA range valued at £25,000, a Nintendo Switch 2 console, an iPhone pack, a Lenovo Legion Go, a PC with an RTX 4080 Super, a Steam Deck OLED, a PS5 and an Xbox Series X. In the collectibles section, LEGO sets such as Rivendell, Millennium Falcon, R2-D2, Hogwarts, Barad-dûr and the Sauron helmet stand out, along with Pokémon products such as booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and expansion bundles.

The catalogue also includes cash prizes and shopping vouchers: Amazon vouchers worth £10, £25 and £50, store credit in various amounts and ticket bundles. Ticket prices start from £0.01 and vary depending on the competition; some visible examples are £0.10, £0.40, £0.50, £0.99, £9.99 and £20. The site shows the total prize pot for each competition and the percentage of tickets sold.

How the competitions work

The company holds live draws every Tuesday and Thursday at 13:15, broadcast via Instagram, Facebook and Twitch, so participants can watch the winner being selected in real time. It also runs daily Auto Draws, which it describes as double blind and randomised using a seed generated from uncontrollable attributes. According to the website, every advertised prize is the one actually awarded, with no substitutions for similar items: if the prize is a Pokémon Elite Trainer Box, that is the product that leaves the warehouse; if it is a car, the winner receives the keys or the tax-free cash equivalent.

Ways to enter

As well as standard competitions, the platform offers instant win competitions, where participants can find out the result at the time of purchase, and free competitions. It also has promotional credit packs: the Starter Pack lets you spend £10 and get £11 in tickets; the Value Pack, spend £20 and receive £24; and the Mega Pack, spend £50 and get £68. The site mentions a referral programme with £5 credit for inviting a friend and birthday credit for those who spend £30 in the year.

Winners history

The website publishes a continuous feed of recent winners with the prize won and the time elapsed since the result. Visible examples include Amazon vouchers, Pokémon bundles, tickets for car and watch competitions, store credit, a Steam Deck OLED, a PS5, an Xbox Series X, a PC with an RTX 4080 Super, a Ninja Air Fryer, a 38 mm TUDOR Royal watch and numerous LEGO sets. The company states that more than 40,000 people have won on the platform.

Trust and transparency

Gaming Giveaways insists on the transparency of the process: live draws are broadcast without hidden algorithms and Auto Draws are described as randomised using a verifiable system. The website shows a 4.5-star rating on Trustpilot and presents itself as a trusted provider. The company also mentions that it devotes part of its activity to charitable causes, although the available material does not detail the specific organisations or projects.
