Frequently asked questions

Everything you wanted to know about Win5.

The basics

+

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Yes, 100% free. No credit card, no purchase, no tasks to complete. The site makes money from affiliate partnerships and ads, not from you.

+

What do I actually win?

$5 USDT. Five US dollars in Tether stablecoin, sent on the Solana blockchain. The value is fixed at $5 regardless of crypto market moves.

+

Can I join every day?

Yes. One entry per email per day. Come back tomorrow for another chance. Your daily streak gives you bonus entries for showing up.

+

Is this gambling?

No. There's no payment to enter and no purchase necessary. It's a free promotional giveaway. It's free to participate in Win5 giveaway.

How the draw works?

+

How is the winner selected?

A cryptographically secure random function picks one entry every day at 00:00 UTC. We commit to a random seed on the Solana blockchain before the draw, so we can't change the outcome.

+

Can I verify the draw is fair?

Yes. Three proofs go on-chain for every draw: commitment proof (before the draw), winner proof (after selection), payout proof (when money is sent). Click any proof link on the Winners page to verify on the Solana explorer.

+

Why $5 and not more?

$5 is small enough to give away every single day forever and big enough to feel real. We'd rather give one person $5 daily for 10 years than one person $5,000 one time.

+

Is Win5 on the blockchain?

Not fully, not yet. The payout is in USDT on Solana, so that part is on-chain. But the draw itself is not on-chain yet. That's on the roadmap. The end goal is to make everything on-chain and open-source so anyone can audit the whole system.

If you win

+

How will I know if I won?

We email you. You can also check the Winners page. Every winner is listed there with a blockchain proof link.

+

Do I need a crypto wallet to enter?

No. You can enter with just an email. If you win, we'll email you a claim link and you can add a wallet then. Or add it during signup to get paid instantly if you win.

+

What if I never claim my prize?

You have 7 days to claim once you win. If you provided a wallet at signup, the payment is automatic.

+

How do I create a Solana wallet?

Easiest path: download Phantom wallet. It's free and take less than 60 seconds. We also have a step-by-step guide on the homepage that walks you through it whether you're on desktop, iPhone, or Android.

Trust and skepticism

+

Isn't this just clickbait or a proxy website?

No. We actually give away $5 every day. It comes from the founders' own wallet. Yes, there's a plan to make money with it, that's how businesses work. But the giveaway is real, the money is real, and the winner is real. The vision is bigger than just one giveaway. We want to build a directory of all the ways to win money online, where you can filter by type and companies can promote their options.

+

Why should anyone trust this? Most giveaways are scams.

Fair question. Our founders have been in affiliate marketing for 10+ years. They've seen hundreds of giveaways and most of them are garbage. The organizer picks a fake winner, pockets the prize, and sells your email. That's exactly why WinLab exists. The goal is to build a system that's transparent and verifiable, and eventually make it fully open-source so everyone can see how winners are picked, verify that the money was sent, and audit the entire process. If a giveaway doesn't use a transparent system, you shouldn't join it. That's the standard we want to set.

+

What if someone creates 10,000 fake emails and enters?

This is the biggest challenge in the whole project. We have protections in place to prevent it, but it will be a constant battle with scammers. Anti-fraud and anti-bot measures are one of our main focuses moving forward.

+

Where is the money coming from? Is this sustainable?

$5 a day plus hosting is not a lot. The revenue from affiliate partnerships and ads will cover it as the audience grows. Our founders have been in affiliate marketing for 10+ years and know from experience that giveaways generate more money than they cost when you have enough traffic.

Privacy and data

+

What do you do with my email?

We only use it to tell you if you won and to send the occasional new-giveaway announcement. If you don't win, your email is deleted automatically right after the daily draw closes.

+

Will you spam me?

No. You will only receive one email per day from us max. No marketing blasts, no third-party sharing, no resale.

+

Are you selling email addresses?

No. We don't sell emails. We don't share them. We only use them to notify winners and send giveaway updates.
