Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about how iwin.in works.
Is iwin.in free to use?
Yes. Browsing, alerts, guides, the quiz and all tools are free.
Do I apply on iwin.in?
No. Each listing links to the organiser's official page, where you apply. For our own iwin challenges, you submit on the challenges page.
Why don't listings show exact deadlines?
Most programmes recur every year with slightly different dates. We show the usual window and send you to the official page for the current deadline, which avoids stale or wrong dates. Add confirmed dates to the deadline planner to get reminders.
Do you list lotteries, betting or fantasy games?
Never. Only free-to-enter, merit or skill-based opportunities, plus brand giveaways with published rules and no purchase requirement.
Someone asked me to pay a fee to claim a prize. Is it real?
Almost certainly a scam. Genuine organisers don't charge a fee to release prizes. Use our scam checker and report fraud at cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930.
How do I get my opportunity listed?
Submit it through the listing form. Standard listings are free; featured placements are available.
Is tax deducted on prizes?
In India, TDS of 30% applies to winnings above ₹10,000 in a single transaction under the Income-tax Act, 2025. See the prize tax guide and estimator.
How do you make money?
Ads from Google AdSense, labelled sponsorships and featured listings, and voluntary reader support.
How do I unsubscribe from alerts?
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, or use the contact form.
Can I write for iwin.in?
Yes. See the careers page for writer, translator, researcher and video roles.
