Guide Review - Online-Sweepstakes.com

Online-Sweepstakes.com was founded by Brent Riley in 1997, and has grown into one of the largest sweepstakes listings online. It currently includes a large sweepstakes listing, a bustling community with thousands of members, site forums, and a system to help organize sweepstakes entry.

Online-Sweepstakes initiated a paid membership program. Paying members are able to access more sweepstakes and more features, and they no longer see advertisements on the site. While the free membership can help you get the hang of the setup, the paid membership is necessary to get the most out of the site. Luckily, the prices are very reasonable, at about $30 per year.
