Where to win games for free


Recommended Posts

We often get a chance to grab games for free on giveaway. But it's also possible to become a lucky winner if you participate in these contests.

 

Update 17.11.2017

 
This post was created a while ago but since that time many changes have been applied, and I updated the topic with actual information. You can still see my previous content; I put it all in “spoilers”.
 
All sources are separated on guaranteed and not verified with full description of each.

1. IndieGala

 

This is a trusted store with “giveaway” feature. Mostly all of these lotteries are created by users and not sponsored by Indiegala itself.

  • iC (Indiegala Coins) – Entering each giveaway will cost you some “points” which will be automatically restored after some time. Valuable games will cost more, cheapest ones – less.
 
  • Guaranteed – games which were purchased on Indiegala store. They are 100% valid. Not guaranteed – users give away keys from other sources, and Indiegala can’t guarantee that it will be valid.
 
  • Single-ticket – you can enter lottery only once. Extra odds – you can enter several times to increase your chance of winning, but it will cost you more points.
 
  • Each Indiegala user has a rating. You begin with level 0, and can increase it by organizing giveaways. Some lotteries are available for level 0+, 1+, 2+ and so on.
 
Please note: all these giveaways are created by users, and not all of them are fair. If you see some AAA game in their lotteries, it most likely can be a scam, so it’s better to not lose your points on such offer.

*************************************ARCHIVE*************************************

 

Out of frequent giveaways, IndieGala gives an option to win or gift games. These lotteries are mostly created by users, but sometimes IndieGala makes their own contests.

  • Guaranteed

This mark means that game was purchased on IndieGala and winner will recieve valid key 100%.

  • Not guaranteed

This mark means that user who created giveaway entered a key manually. IndieGala can't say if it's valid or not, but each user has reputation.

  • IndieGala coins (iC)

Under each contest you see a number of iC. This is the price of joining lottery. By default you have 240 iC, when you use some, after a bit of time all coins return to you.

  • Level

You can also giveaway your valid keys to other users. As a bonus, you will increase your level, which allows you to participate in more lotteries. At the beginning you will have 0 lvl.

2. HRK

  • Drop key

HRK is a trusted store. It gives an option to win up to 10 games, but only if you purchase something first. On the bottom you can see all games that were won recently, mostly it's indie ones but very rare they make special giveaway with better game.

  • Challenge

This is the new feature on HRK. Once in few days you can enter the contest, no matter if you purchased something on their store or not. The chance of winning is small, as only 1 winner will be chosen. Nevertheless, it's worth trying as prize is always AAA game, more often upcoming one.

 

Please note: it seems like their customers have more chances of winning so keep it as optional.

3. Fanatical

 

This is a trusted store. Before it was well known as Bundlestars.

 

Sometimes, more often with support of PC Gamer, they create contests. They announce it in the blog.

 

Each raffle created by Fanatical will be posted in the Special Offers section.

4. Kinguin
 
Kinguin creates contests sometimes, but for some of them you need to be quick. The chance of winning is small, but they give away different AAA games (different platforms), so it's worth trying. You can check this page regularly to see if there is new contest. 
 
Each raffle created by Kinguin will be posted in the Special Offers section.
 

 

 

5. Orlygift
 
Here you can participate daily in order to win a game, but only indie ones.
 
Please note: they give away valid keys but you need to log in with your steam profile. If you dislike to o it, better skip this source.
 
 
 
Not Verified
 
I know about these sites and I'm almost sure that it's possible to win a valid game here, but need to check it anyway. Comment if you won something in these sites, so we'll know if they are trustworthy.
 
 
6. IndieDB
They are giving away only indie games.
 
 
 
7. Grab the games
 
Almost sure in this source. You can try to win valuable game.
 
 

 

8. Allkeyshop

 

This is a website which shows info about current steam games on sale in many online stores. Earlier you had a chance to participate in lotteries in order to win a free game.

 
Now, instead of winning game, you can get some points to use on the other website called Steamkeybox. And yes, exactly there you will be able to try your luck in winning steam key. Since they added this change I haven’t tried to participate anymore, so I put it in “not verified” section. However, before this update you could win a valid AAA game, so it’s more likely that Allkeyshop remains on its way.
 
Please note: I have no idea how it works on Steamkeybox now. I can only tell about Allkeyshop's coins.
 
Their system hasn't changed much, because they just replaced free games with points. Press the spoiler buton to see.

Allkeyshop
 
Among all possible ways, this one deservedly can be called â„–1. Here you can get a game on different platforms (PC, Xbox, PS etc) and all possible services (Steam, Origin, Uplay and more). Allkeyshop provides several methods to win prizes daily.

  • Win a game of your choice

Every 1-2 days you can participate in this contest on gleam. In order to join, you'll need to perform some of the tasks (watch video, visit website etc) and enter a page link of the game you want to win. System randomly chooses 1 winner who will recieve the game they requested. Maybe you will win once in few months, but it will be your desirable game, and that's the best option of all.
