Canadian contests are an incredibly fun and rewarding hobby. Hundreds of Canadians win gift cards, free groceries, electronics, and even brand-new vehicles every single month.
If you are new to entering contests, here is a quick guide to setting yourself up for success:
1. Understand Entry Intervals
Not all contests are entered the same way. The most common entry intervals are:
- Single Entry: You can only enter once. Put your best foot forward and make sure you verify your email address.
- Daily Entry: You can submit one entry every 24 hours. Consistent daily entrants win the most because they accumulate the highest number of entries!
- Weekly Entry: You can enter once per calendar week.
2. Set Up a Dedicated "Contests" Email
To prevent your primary inbox from being flooded with marketing offers, create a separate email address (e.g., yourname.contests@gmail.com) specifically for contests.
3. Know the Legal Rules (Skill-Testing Questions)
In Canada, game-of-chance giveaways are technically illegal under the Criminal Code. To make them legal, sponsors must require winners to answer a mathematical skill-testing question without assistance. Keep a calculator handy—though ContestLog Canada provides built-in answers for common trivia questions!
