Whoever has said that all things are created equal has clearly not been on the Internet in recent times. If they had, we are sure that their statement will be retracted.
There is a good reason for us saying this. Simply put, not all websites are not created equal, and some greatly outshine others.
In this JustFreeStuff.com review, we will look at a site that lets you win prizes for free. We will see what it has to offer and what makes it so different from the rest.
How Does JustFreeStuff.com Work?
Just Free Stuff is, in essence, the same as many other free sweepstakes websites that exist on the Internet. It also compiles all the best free draws and places them in one simple place for you to check.
However, there is more to this site than just that. Aside from free sweeps and other draws, this site also lists plenty of other freebies. These include free giveaways where you are guaranteed a prize, samples, and even coupons.
To use the site, you will not need to register a user account. Anyone is free to use the site by simply navigating to it and browsing around it.
All that is required from you is to find a draw that sparks your interest. Once you have found one, follow the entry link in the draw listing to enter.
Following this link will direct you to the official website of the company or brand that is sponsoring the draw or giving away the free products/samples.
Once you are on this site, follow the onscreen instructions to enter. It is that simple.
Is JustFreeStuff.com Legit or a Scam?
Generally, there is nothing sketchy about sites that provide links to free giveaways and draws. And JustFreeStuff.com is no exception.
While for that reason we can’t say anything negative about it, we do offer a word of caution—one that can be found on the site as well. There is a possibility that if you sign up for the site’s newsletter (more on this later), you may see an increase in the number of spam emails you receive.
Therefore, as even the site suggests, you may want to consider creating a special email address using one of the free email services that you will use specifically for signing up for websites like this.
User Experience
Let us be clear about something from the start: JustFreeStuff.com is not about to win any design awards.
That said, the design of the site is not the worst we’ve seen. While it doesn't have much in terms of professional sheen, there is plenty of white space and all the text is easy to read.
One issue that we have is the navigation, which is achieved via a vertical menu bar on the left side of the site. We have stated many times before that we prefer top menu bars. As a standard, these are more user friendly than vertical menus.
Once you look past the design and the menu, you will find the biggest problem with using this site. We are talking, of course, about ads.
There are ads everywhere. In between draw listings, on the sides of every page, and even in popups when you are leaving a page.
We understand that sites like this make their money from using ads. However, there is a clear limit between covering your costs and trying to show enough ads to buy a new Ferrari.
The number of ads on the site is inexcusable. There is no reason that anyone should have to be bombarded by advertising like that.
Funnily enough, the mobile version of the site doesn’t suffer the same fate as the PC version. There are a few ads, but the site looks much better.
This leads us to believe that the developer of the site was more worried about what the site looks like on a mobile device than on a PC. If, however, more people visit it from their smartphones and tablets, then that at least makes sense.

JustFreeStuff.com Extras
JustFreeStuff.com is pretty straightforward and doesn’t have many frills. In fact, it doesn’t really have any at all.
The only additional extra available on the site is a daily newsletter. To register for this newsletter, you will need to provide your email address.
It is because of this newsletter that the site states it may be best to register a new email account. This leads us to believe that you will most certainly get spammed by this account way more than you will deem acceptable.
Payment/Withdrawal Options
Because everything on the site is entirely free, there are no payment methods available. There is also a lack of any withdrawal option because all prizes are delivered directly by the draw operator, not JustFreeStuff.com.
How to Claim Your Winnings
Each draw that you enter will have its own unique set of rules. In these rules, you will find the claims process that will need to be followed if you are a winner.
It is always best to read this claims process before entering any draw. This ensures that you know what to expect and what you need to do should you be lucky enough to win.
Sadly, JustFreeStuff.com doesn’t list any of these rules. So, to see what the claims process for each draw is, you will need to look for the rules on the site of the draw organiser.
Customer Support
There is an FAQ section hosted by the site. It will work to answer some very basic questions. Anything more than that, however, and you will have to contact the site.
This can be done in one of two ways. The first is by completing the online contact form available. This will send your query to the site but doesn’t say how long it will take to get a response.
The second way to contact the site is by sending an email to questions@justfreestuff.com. Again, there is no way of knowing how long it will take to get a response.
Rules and Regulations
There are no rules or regulations relating to who can use the site. In fact, it appears that just about anybody can use the site.
However, this is not true for all the draws listed on the site. These each have their own set of rules that will determine eligibility for entry.
JustFreeStuff.com Review Conclusion
JustFreeStuff.com is not just a directory of free sweepstakes draws, as it does so much more. Aside from draws and sweeps, it also features samples, coupons, and giveaways that guarantee you a prize.
However, this standout from the crowd is clouded by a few simple things. The first is the design of the site. This could be remedied fairly simply and yet is one of the biggest stumbling blocks of the site.
This is not true, however, if you are viewing the site on your mobile. This alone makes no sense and should not really be true of any website that isn’t specifically and exclusively built for mobile.
The other big, and we mean massive, stumbling block of this site is the ads. There is just no excuse for having that many ads. We actually cannot even say any more on this subject right now without getting tense.
If these two things were sorted out, then this site would be a real contender to other big free sites. Until then, though, we recommend you merely stop by it only if you’re looking for the coupons and other extras it offers.
