🧩 What’s really behind “online prizes and winnings for free”?
Online prizes and winnings: in recent years, many platforms have popped up promising free products, lucky draws, and exclusive rewards. But let’s be honest: how many times have you asked yourself, “Can I really trust this?”
In this article, we’ll explain how an innovative Italian platform, ScratchScratch, actually works: what’s behind each winning experience, and why some businesses really do give away prizes.
No hype. Just facts.
🎁 Are online prizes and winnings real? Yes — and here’s why.
Every prize on ScratchScratch is offered directly by a real business — either local or from other Italian cities.
Example:
📍 A restaurant or pizzeria in Rome (or any other city/province) might offer a dinner for two, worth €80.
The user (who only sees businesses promoting themselves in their area) plays for free — and if they win, they get the dinner for two, free of charge!
In return, the restaurant gains visibility, new potential customers, and possibly a positive review.
This applies to businesses in any sector: clothing, travel, subscriptions, and more.
🛍️ Why would a shop give something away?
Traditional advertising costs money — and doesn’t always deliver real results.
That’s why ScratchScratch is different: companies “pay” with what they do best — their products and services.
It’s a new way of promoting your business, where:
- ✅ The user plays (for free)
- ✅ The company gets visibility
- ✅ There’s a real chance to start a customer relationship
- ✅ It’s called Circular Economy — and everyone wins: users and companies.
🎮 And the game? Does it actually work?
Yes. When you access a company’s page, you’ll see a short 12-second video ad, then choose one or more available products or services and play one of the 3 game types:
- 🎰 Scratch & Win
- 🎲 Lucky Numbers
- 🐾 Lucky Animals
The system is transparent: every attempt has a set win probability defined by the business. There are also bonus features like the Second Chance — an extra chance to win, either randomly or through user loyalty.
🔍 Is it really all free?
Yes. Playing is always free. And even if you don’t win, you’ll often receive a special offer — with discounts of up to 80% on the product you just tried to win.
🔐 Transparency matters
With ScratchScratch, there’s no fine print. You’ll find real shops, real prizes, and real users. And you can see it for yourself: check out previous winners, read their comments, and explore the businesses on the platform.
If something doesn’t feel clear, just reach out: we’re the first ones who want you to understand how it works. Because trust isn’t built on promises — it’s built on facts.
