Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really have any chance of winning?

Yes. We give away lots of prizes every day. 72,373 to date!

What should I search for?

Anything! Just use Blingo the same way you'd use a regular search engine, like Google or Yahoo. Looking for a birthday gift? A recipe? Doing research for a home improvement project or a school paper? The Internet is the place to find whatever you're looking for, and Blingo can help.

But Blingo is different because you may also win a prize just for using our free service! We give away prizes all day every day. You never know when. Click here to try it now. It's free!

How can Blingo afford to give away prizes?

Just like all popular search engines, we earn money from the sponsored links you see when you do a search. (These links are always clearly identified and separated from search results.) We use a portion of the money we earn from sponsored results to buy prizes. The more users we get, the more prizes we'll give away, so spread the word.

Is there a catch?

There are no strings attached to using Blingo: you don't have to register to win, we don't send spam, and there aren't any offers you'll have to sign up for.

How does Blingo choose the winners?

Each day Blingo's prize program chooses a bunch of winning times (usually several per hour). The first person to search after a winning time wins the prize.

Can I increase my chances of winning?

Tell your friends about Blingo, and if one of them wins a prize by searching on Blingo, we'll send you the same prize, even if it's a Ford Escape. Register for Blingo now or read the FAQ for details.

Is the Blingo winning notice a pop-up?

No, we don't use pop-up windows.

Can anyone win?

In order to win, you must be at least 13 years old, you must live in the United States, and you must have Internet access. Why the United States?
