Play Quizzes For Money Prizes
How to earn money or win prizes from playing quizzes. Follow our free advice and information to start
winning:
If you have a good grasp of general knowledge and love playing quizzes then why not try earning from
playing quizzes. You could do this on the internet, in pubs, at home doing quiz competitions and even on
television.
Internet Quizzes
There are many websites on the internet where you can play quizzes. Example are the
OfferX Quiz
and the
Get Me A Ticket
websites.
Most offer prizes as a way to entice you to
register and play the quiz. Subjects include Big Brother, the World Cup, Television, Films and Sports, etc. These
sites earn their money from adverts and you may have to put up with banner ads in between answering questions. They also
ask for an e-mail address so that they can add you to their mailing list and send you adverts and offers. You can get
round this by using a specific e-mail address just for quizzes. A hotmail account is useful for this. The disadvantage
of this is that you will have to check this account for winning e-mails.
Prizes are usually sponsored and can be quite good and often include large cash prizes. There are real winners and
most sites have a page where they publish the winners names.
The quiz answers tend to be easy to begin with and get progressively harder. Bear with the websites and take your
time to answer the quiz questions to get a better chance to win the free prize. Some sites even have wild card prizes
that will award someone who gets to a certain position for that day. This could even be set to the person with the
lowest score.
Other quiz websites will allow you to take the quizzes throughout the day or to return several times a week and build
up points. At the end of a set period, such as a month, they will award the top scorers with prizes.
The chances of winning internet quizzes are probably a little bit better than those given to normal internet
competitions on the
competitions advice page because there is a little bit
of skill and knowledge required. The quizzes are fun and general knowledge buffs will like the challenge of beating
the computer and you could win a prize.
Enter Pub Quizzes
Entrants to pub quizzes will pay a small fee to enter and get a quiz sheet. The money is pooled together and
awarded to the winner and sometimes a lesser prize to a runner up. It is normal to have a team for the pub quiz, usually
of four people. The advantage of this is that more minds usually mean more correct answers - or more arguing
over who thinks they have the right answer. The disadvantage is that the more people that is in the pub quiz means
a lesser share of the prize cash.
Pub quizzes are great fun and a social event. It can be a bit costly when you have to buy a round at the bar and
even if you win your team may drink away the profits. However if you enter pub quizzes for a laugh and a night out then
you are still a winner.
There are people who will travel around different pubs and bars entering pub quizzes purely for profit. Bar and
pub owners don't often like these entrants - they don't usually join in the fun and don't buy many drinks. Their
aim is to win the quiz, take the money and move onto the next pub quiz. There are even stories of publicans
and landlords who ban such well know trivia quiz professionals. They consider that locals deserve to win the quiz
and that they take the fun out of events.
Pub quizzes are great fun and winning them will pay for a great night out and maybe a bit of change.
At Home Quizzes
There are quiz sheets that you can fill out at home, other than the internet sites listed above, and hand back
to be judged for prizes. Common quiz sheet providers are charities looking to raise money for their good causes. For
instance they will print out a quiz sheet and sell it for say £1. They will then award a percentage of the sales to
the prize fund. So you could win say £100, with runner up prizes of say £20 and £10. If the charity sells 200 of the
quiz sheets they will have incurred minimal costs of paper and ink and the time spent for someone to design the quiz
sheet and print them out. Volunteers usually sell the sheets to friends and family. So the charity makes £200 less the
minimal costs and prizes which gives them a profit of about £60. The quiz sheets provide a bit of fun, three winners
get lucky, people help the charity and the charity is a winner too.
Other at home quizzes could be in competitions from magazines and newspapers and even general knowledge
crosswords. These usually have cash prizes of anything from £10 to £500.
The advantage of filling out quizzes at home is that you can take the time to research the answers from your
reference books or the internet. There is normally a time limit to complete the quizzes but you will have enough time
to do the research and fill the form out neatly and post it back or hand it to the quiz master.
Television Quizzes
This can be where the money is - especially if you can get onto a programme like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. You
will need to be comfortable answering questions with a live audience watching your every move and listening to your
every word. It is worth the stress through - quiz winnings can range from hundreds, through to thousands of pounds. There
is even the chance of winning the coveted million pound jackpot. There is more information and advice about quiz
and game shows on the
game show page.
Quiz Winnings
I am unsure of the tax implications of winning a quiz. Prizes for holidays, cars, games, DVDs, etc are probably
not taxable but cash prizes may have to be declared to the tax office on your income tax self assessment return. I would
recommend phoning your local tax office for advice if you win.
Play quizzes for money prizes but above all play the quiz for fun and to challenge your general knowledge and to
learn.
