That'll start you off with one entry for the current draw. You'll automatically get a reminder email anytime we launch a new sweepstake for a new prize. Once you get this email, all you have to do is log in to let us know you're still alive and you're entered to win. -top- What's so automatic about Prize-O-Matic? Once you sign up, all you have to do is read the email we send you, click on a confirmation link, log in, and you're entered into the next draw. -top- How do I get more entries into the contests? You get one ticket into the sweepstakes every time you login to Prize-O-Matic, with a limit of one ticket per day. But the best way to get tickets is to check out the great offers that we have displayed for you on the main member page. Each site you review will get you more sweepstakes tickets to a maximum of three sites per day. Periodically Prize-O-Matic will email you offers from websites that match your interests. All you have to do is confirm you got this email, and you get an extra entry. You do not have to buy anything from the offered site, but you do have to read the email and click a confirmation link. Once again, these offers will match your interests, so we encourage you to sign up. In some cases you will get extra entries into the current draw for signing up to these offers, but you are never required to do so. -top- Do I have to buy anything to play? You never have to buy anything to enter our sweepstakes. All you have to do is read the email we send you and confirm so by clicking on a link in the email. In some cases you can take advantage of the offers emailed to you which will grant you extra entries into the current draw. That might include making purchases from a sponsor site, downloading software or signing up for free services but this is not mandatory in any way. You will always get at least one entry in the current draw for reading the email. -top- So it's free to enter Prize-O-Matic's contests? It is absolutely free to sign up, play and win in the Prize-O-Matic sweepstakes. -top- Can anyone play? No, for legal reasons you must be at least 18 years old to enter our sweepstakes.

Just fill in this form, and your account will be canceled. -top- What does Prize-O-Matic do with the info they've collected? The personal information we collect about you is used to find sponsors and offers matching your interests. We try hard to find offers that you would be interested in, and without this personal information we couldn't do so. Also Prize-O-Matic is only available to certain age groups and countries. This is outlined in our official rules. Asking for personal information ensures we allow only eligible members to be entered in our draws. This reduces fraud and problems resulting from ineligible winners. -top- Can I sign up more than once? Sorry, but to be fair to all participants only one Prize-O-Matic account is allowed per household. -top- I can't login. What do I do now? Do you remember your login and password? Your login is your email address. If you can't remember your password click here. Please remember to keep your email address up to date. If you are sure you are using the correct login and password, but still cannot log in, contact us. -top- How do I know if I won? We'll post it on the Prize-O-Matic site once a winner has been randomly selected from all the entries. If you are the winner, we'll notify you by email. -top- How do I collect my prize if I won? That'll depend on the nature of the prize. The instructions on how to redeem your prize will be included in the email sent you. You'll be asked to send a photocopy of some identification to prove you are of legal age and citizen of a country eligible to enter our sweepstakes. See our official rules for more details. -top- What are the odds of winning? The odds of winning depend on the number of entries. Unlike other contest sites, someone always wins the Prize-O-Matic draw. For example, if you have 2 entries for the current draw, out of a total 1000 entries, your chances of winning are 1 in 500. -top- Is this gambling? Nope. You cannot buy entries in our sweepstakes. You do not have to purchase anything to play. It's always free to enter and therefore is not gambling. -top- What kind of prizes can I win with Prize-O-Matic?
