A few posts gone up for a site called gaminggiveaways.co.uk
Brand new site with quite high cost prizes and a lot of which are raffle style "competitions"
The site doesn't sit right with me, am I being over cautious or is it dodgy?
To add to my suspicions on their Facebook live winners reveal tonight somebody won, who has the same first name as the person who has posted 4 of their competitions on here, and who somebody else has already commented on being the author at the site.

looks like it's yet another one of the sites that has pay to enter competitions where the prizes are just a fraction of the total value of the tickets sold - clearly there is plenty of profit in it for them given the number of sites doing this sort of thing.0

Gaming Giveaways is owned by Smile Group Giveaways Limited (they both quote the same Company number), which was set up only this month with one director, William Gerrard Blears, who is probably the Will who posts on their web site and the Will who introduces himself at the start of Facebook live post. It is possible that this Will is also the willyboy104 who posted the competitions on here but then again it may not be. There is no obvious connection. However it does not look like this is the same Will who won a prize on Facebook tonight who has a different surname.Vixxx666 said:A few posts gone up for a site called gaminggiveaways.co.uk
