Gamer Beta Key Comps

Sorry if i sound really thick.... maybe i just am!

What on earth is a Beta Key? And if i was to win one of the codes, what would i do with it? Would i need to have the game already?

Very confused!:undecided

I hope someone can help, as i entered the comp but dont know what i will do if i win!

    Good question I only know because I have teenage boys; it is a chance to play a game online before it's released to the world. The gamer get to play a new game before everybody else and the company gets it's game tested by a number of players for free.

    I got a code a while back and it gave them a weekend of free play on a new game.
