Different sites have different rules, but as the name suggests, “Instant Win games” are any kind of game wherein a person who plays the game finds out instantly if they win or not.
If you have free time collecting points for free Steam gift cards, Target gift cards, PS4 gift cards, or other freebies we’ve shared recently, instant win games is a perfect option for mixing it up because they give instant gratification (especially if you win).
How do You Win from Instant-Win Games?
Traditional sweepstakes have an end date when entries are drawn and participants who won will only be notified if they’ll receive prizes at the end of the draw.
With Instant-win games, you’ll know you win something as soon as you join the game. A message often pops up right after you join; it notifies you if you’re an instant winner (or not).
In most cases, instant-win game winners are chosen:
- Chronologically: the 100th, 200th, or 250th person to join instantly wins
- By time: the person who joins at 2pm ET wins, or the person who joins every 30 minutes since start of game wins
- Randomly: sometimes, an app (or tool) is used to choose winners randomly.
Whichever way instant games choose winners, what makes these games exciting is that you no longer have to wait to find out if you win or lose. Just join, wait a minute or two, and discover what luck will have it.
