Surf gives you the ability to earn passive rewards, and now we’re giving you the ability to win BIG. If you want to use your data to enter big sweepstakes, you use Surf Giveaways. It’s just like if you want to save 15% or more on car insurance, you switch to Geico. It’s just what you do. Surf giveaways want to give you more choice, and more opportunity with your data.

What is Surf Giveaways?

Surf Giveaways provides a way for you to win BIG. For example, you can use Surf points to gain X number of entries into a giveaway. Then our advanced algorithm randomly selects a winner with weighted odds - based on the # of entries and entrants! These prizes are a lot larger than what you could get using the same amount of Surf points in the marketplace. Surf Giveaways puts some excitement in your life.

Difference between Surf and Surf Giveaways

Surf and Surf Giveaways have a symbiotic relationship that goes together like bread and butter. Feel free to ignore that metaphor if you’re lactose intolerant or celiac. No need to download another app on your browser though, if you have Surf you can access all the functionalities of Giveaways as well. With Surf you gain points for browsing the internet. After that, you can use those points to redeem discount codes in our marketplace. Our giveaways piggyback off Surf and allow you to use your points to win amazing prizes. Some giveaways ask you to use your points and some will ask you to follow social media or sign up for mailing lists.  While there isn’t a guarantee that you’ll win, Surf Giveaways gives you a chance. A chance to win BIG.  So yes, Surf and Surf Giveaways are connected and work better if you use them together.

Why enter Giveaways?

At Surf we want to give you full control and ownership of your data, meaning a variety of ways to earn with your data. Giveaways are a fun way to try your luck and win bigger prizes using less Surf points. Although we already gave away many amazing prizes, we still have so many to give away.

What happened to Playr?

Playr was a company that Surf acquired in late 2020. Surf felt as if Playr meshed well with Surf and so far has been a great success. Although Playr was known as a gaming-centered giveaway platform, we’ve been able to pivot the functionality to allow various products from all kinds of brands! So, in short, Playr is now Surf Giveaways! Although Playr is no longer in the name, it will always live on in our hearts.
