About Omaze Competitions
Omaze was launched in 2012 by Ryan Cummins and Matthew Pohlson. Based in Los Angeles the company is well known for offering out of this world prizes whilst raising money for good causes. The prizes on offer at Omaze.com are incredible. For example in August 2020) you could win a dream sprinter van, Kenyan Safari, $100,000 dollars, a trip to Bora Bora and a custom ICON FJ44 Land Cruiser amongst many other giveaways. Each competition is designed to support various good causes and these are indicated. To enter simply select the prize you'd like to win and click through to the competition page. Here you'll find more details about what's on offer and which charity is benefitting from the promotion.
How To Enter Omaze Competitions
To enter any Omaze competition all you need to do is purchase tickets and get yourself into the prize draw. Simply select how much you wish to spend and then purchase as though you're buying from an online store. There are no questions to answer. There's usually a bit of a discount if you choose to purchase tickets in bulk. If you prefer to enter a draw without spending money then each competition does have a free entry route. This is online at Omaze.com so you simply need to fill in your details to gain your entry. Look for "enter without contributing" on the competition page. Each free entry is automatically assigned 2000 entries. Note that UK entrants can no longer enter via Omaze.com and the UK version of the site only offers a postal NPN route.
Omaze Winners
The closing dates on Omaze are fixed in stone and the prizes are awarded regardless of the number of tickets sold. None of the competitions indicate how many tickets have been sold which is a frustration. There is however an extensive winners page showing images of lucky entrants enjoying their prizes. However we can't see any transparency with respect to entrants, draw details or live videos showing the draw taking place. The unique selling point of Omaze, and why there are so many incredible prizes on offer, is that the site supports good causes. However it's important to understand how things work. For every $1 that you spend on the site 70% will go towards the prize fund. The remainder is split between the good cause and the company (15% each). Given that the site says "donate $10" when you click to enter a competition it might mislead some people into thinking they are donating the full amount. As is the good cause is actually only receiving $1.50! Omaze say that they have raised $130million for good causes but the site lacks in depth details.
Our Verdict
There's no doubt that the prizes on offer at Omaze.com are incredible and fit the out of this world billing. However it's disappointing that UK entrants are no longer able to get involved. UK visitors trying to access Omaze.com are automatically redirected back to Omaze UJ. Thankfully for UK visitors there's the Omaze Win A Million Pound House prize draws which are still continuing and creating guaranteed winners. To date there have been properties in London, The Cotswolds, Lake District, Marbella and Cornwall offered as prizes. Whilst this is good we'd still love the option to play at Omaze.com. With respect to either version we would also like to see the number of tickets sold for each competition and a lot more transparency when it comes to drawing winners and showing the details online.
