In this article, we go around the set of online prize pools, with and free of charge, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. You are tired of always having to advance the money to buy a common gift or book a family weekend ? If you are a follower of the formula “Good accounts make good friends”, welcome to the fantastic universe of online prize pools !

The principle ? Bring together the sum necessary for the activity or the purchase of the gift beforehand, then obtain the payment so as not to advance. Practical, but only here, online prize pools, there are lots. Which one to choose ? Is it free ? Are there different features ? All boxes answers all your questions to help you make the best choice.

Online prize pools, for whom, for what ?

There are many reasons to want to use an online kitty: the birthday of a friend or the organization of vacation with others are the most common, but they can also have a united goal, for example , help a loved one in need or an association or company having undergone damage.

Whatever the object of the prize pool, the method often remains similar depending on the different sites: you create your kitty, you share the link with the people concerned and you leave them to a certain date to participate in the height that they wish. Then, you ask for the payment, and that’s it, you have the money at your disposal, it is still simpler than asking your friends to send you the funds on the account of your online bank !

Nevertheless, you will see it, each kitty has its particularities, and several elements should be examined before choosing the one that suits you most.

The price, an online prize pool at no cost it exists ?

eh yes ! Unfortunately, not all online prize pools are free. It is after all a very useful service, and some prize pools like Leetchi or the common pot take on your prize pool. It may be transfer costs when receiving the money collected, or a commission on the kitty.

Beware, however, of the myth of the free online kitty, some sites offer free service if money is spent with their partners only. Another element to take into account !

Popularity

As in a bunch of other areas, there are leaders of the online kitty. Leetchi is the first kitty arrived on the French market and currently has 10 million users worldwide. The common pot totaled 4 million.

Suffice to say that these platforms have nothing to prove in terms of popularity.

Trust

Directly linked to the popularity rating, user confidence in the platform has a direct impact on the participation rate.

Indeed, you may want to go to a free site, but a little less famous than those mentioned above.

However, people invited to participate can be more skeptical, especially if the conditions of use are not perfectly clear. This is a criterion to remember, because the sums advanced are sometimes very important, and no one wants to see them disappear in nature !

Fonctionnalities

Payment systems, ease of creating a kitty, adding messages, charity or not … Each online kitty has its features and it is better to be attentive to avoid unpleasant surprises, and above all, take advantage of the advantages available.

The partners

We have said it a little above, some online prize pools work in collaboration with partners, which allows you to benefit from free service if you spend the money collected at home. Very useful if you have already spotted the gift you want to buy from a merchant. You just have to check if the latter is a partner with an online kitty, and that’s it, nothing else paying than the gift itself !

Comparison of online prize pools

Now that you are a little better informed about the universe of online prize pools and the criteria to take into account to choose the one that suits you, here is a list of existing online prize pools, containing everything there is namely to make your choice in peace.
