I was dubious when I first entered a draw, but now I've won two main prizes and a side win of some strings during the live stream, I can 100% verify the legitimacy of I WANT IN. Dale and his team a... See more

Its a great site and I like the community feel to the live vids where people interact with each other unlike other sites, everything is good...apart from there is not much on auction that is for me, I understand dale has to cater for the middle of the road crowd, but some of the other sites offer more tempting prizes..ie £1000 vouchers etc..recording gear, pick ups, digital gear and some rock/metal type guitars/basses. Thats just my opinion and he knows who he wants to aim at, but generally its a good site

OK so I've entered a few draws the guy's or girls that run this have set up a community Facebook page and group I suppose to encourage a culture of people continually entering thier competitions they don't seem at all bothered by people becoming addicted as they don't understand they are effectively a gambling business and lottery, the ticket prices are enormous and it seems the winner is the one that can afford to buy the most tickets for the draws, 1 guy apparently won 3 guitars which I think is nearly impossible to win the odds are stacked massively against that occurring and when I commented I received a message saying I was out of order by the guy who won the 3 guitars which I want in claim that he won them with 5 tickets in each draw yet the same man claimed to have spent 400 quid to win them so I'm not sure how the maths stack, the draws themselves are live but they are sketchy and extremely amateur and really make no sense this is done via a computer "randomly" picking numbers, the sites ok but when you get kicked off because you question thier integrity which as a paying customer I am entitled to do under fair circumstances, they offered no explanation no evidence for the winner only buying 5 tickets, I say only but thats 4.99 a ticket and was extremely defensive as was a small number of the members including the guy who allegedly won the guitars.
Personally because of this and no other reason , I believe they are allowing individuals to purchase large amounts of tickets to sell them giving those who can afford to gamble ridiculous amounts on the chance to win a guitar of not hugely valuable they do not offer 5 k guitars its basically a way to sell mid range guitars for twice the value. It's a legitimate site 100% however thier conduct is questionable as is the way the draw works out and if they are kicking people thier Facebook group because they don't like being subject to questions, that doesn't bode well in the trustworthy stakes.

Reply from I Want In

Hey there,

I'm a little taken aback by elements of this review, so I will try reply to these points indiviudally.

"1 guy apparently won 3 guitars which I think is nearly impossible" - there's nothing I can say to this other than he has won 3 guitars on I Want In since we launched last year.

"I want in claim that he won them with 5 tickets in each draw yet the same man claimed to have spent 400 quid to win them"/" they offered no explanation no evidence for the winner only buying 5 tickets" - the entrants list is avaiable on each draw from the winners page, you can see how many tickets he purchased for each draw. The amount that he claims to have spent is since we launched, not on one draw.

"the draws themselves are live but they are sketchy and extremely amateur and really make no sense this is done via a computer "randomly" picking numbers" - Due to the pandemic we are working from home and therefore have needed to adapt.

"a guitar of not hugely valuable they do not offer 5 k guitars" - no we have not done any £5k guitars, however in our last draw we had 3 guitars that were all over £2k each.

"if they are kicking people thier Facebook group because they don't like being subject to questions, that doesn't bode well in the trustworthy stakes."/"the sites ok but when you get kicked off because you question thier integrity which as a paying customer I am entitled to do under fair circumstances" - No one has been kicked from any groups. However, if a conversation is getting out of hand or someone is feeling personally attacked, as admins why would we want that in the group?

Thanks for all your comments, I hope my reply will address the issues you have raised.
