Daily Guessing Games Guide: Win $50 Cash Prizes

The daily guessing game is one of the most popular features on Competitions.com.au, and it’s completely free to play. Every registered member gets one free guess per day, and there are multiple ways to earn bonus guesses so you can submit more numbers and increase your odds. Winners receive their prizes as gift cards that can be spent at over 100 Australian retailers including Woolworths, Coles, Amazon Australia, Kmart, JB Hi-Fi, and many more.

Unlike lotteries or skill-based competitions, the guessing game gives you genuine control over your entry. You pick your number, you decide how to spread your guesses if you have multiple entries, and you can see the results as soon as each game closes. It’s a daily routine that takes less than a minute and could put money in your pocket.

Each game draws from a random number between 1 and 1,000. The winning number is generated independently — it doesn’t change based on how many people enter or what numbers they pick. This keeps the game fair and transparent for everyone.

Playing the daily guessing game is straightforward. Here’s exactly what happens from the moment you open the guessing game page to the moment the winner is announced.

The entire process is automated and transparent. When a game ends, the system compares every submitted guess against the winning number. It checks for exact matches first — if someone nailed the number, they win the $50 major prize. If nobody guessed exactly, it finds the closest guess. In the event that two people are equally close (one above and one below the winning number), the person who submitted their guess first wins.

New games typically start as soon as the previous game closes, so there’s always an active game waiting for your guess. New members even get an automatic welcome guess placed for them when they first visit the game page, so you’re in the running from day one.

Every daily guessing game has two prize tiers. The exact amounts are set in the platform configuration and remain consistent game after game, so you always know what’s at stake.

Prizes are awarded as gift cards that work at major Australian retailers. That means you can spend your winnings at Woolworths, Coles, Amazon Australia, Kmart, BP, JB Hi-Fi, Myer, and dozens more. Winners are notified through the platform, and their win is posted to the community feed where fellow members can send congratulations.

To put the prize value in perspective: if you played every day for a year using only your free guess and won the closest-guess prize just once a month, that’s $120 in gift cards from a game that costs you nothing. And if you land an exact match, a single win covers $50 in shopping. Players who earn bonus guesses and submit multiple entries per game win far more frequently.

While every member gets one free guess per day, the real advantage comes from stacking bonus guesses. More guesses mean more numbers covered, which means better odds of hitting the exact number or landing closest. Here are all the ways to earn extra entries.

All of these methods stack together. On a good day, a member who completes a couple of surveys, watches some videos, uses their free spin, and plays their free guess could easily submit 15 or more entries in a single game. Over time, those numbers add up and significantly improve your chances of winning.

While the winning number is random, there are genuine strategic decisions you can make that improve your chances. The best players on the platform use these approaches consistently.

When you win a guessing game, your prize is awarded as a gift card through the platform. The $50 exact match and $10 closest guess prizes are both delivered electronically. You don’t need to claim anything manually — the system processes it automatically once the game ends and the winner is confirmed.

Gift cards can be spent at over 100 Australian retailers. Popular options include everyday stores like Woolworths, Coles, and BP, as well as retail favourites like Kmart, JB Hi-Fi, Amazon Australia, Myer, and eBay. You can check the full list of available retailers when you receive your card.

Winners are also featured in a community post on the platform, where other members can congratulate them. It’s a nice touch that lets you celebrate wins with the community. You can browse all recent winners on the winners archive.

Playing the guessing game regularly earns you progress toward the Guessing Guru badge. There are three tiers based on how many games you’ve played:

The Guessing Guru badge is one of seven badges on the platform. Achieving all seven at the same tier unlocks the All-Star badge and a bonus gift card reward — $10 for bronze, $30 for silver, and $100 for gold. So playing the guessing game daily doesn’t just give you a shot at the daily prize; it contributes to a much larger reward as well.

The guessing game connects with several other features on the platform. These guides will help you earn more guesses, build your CompBux balance, and get the most out of your membership.
