The website has provided not once, but twice so far that I've run into the site for a variety of giveaways(?). One time it was giving away some online items (for a game) called Tera Online. As a gamer, I am heavily cautious of "giveaways" due to the nature of the idea of free items, and sometimes exclusive(Such as in this case/situation) that it could be a fraud to steal your gaming account for that specific game (In this case, Tera Online). However, it turned out the giveaway was being done by the official owners/the event was sponsored by the game itself (after researching, and finding the original webpage with the link to gleam). After the giveaway was done, a lot of people snag prizes, including myself. So I am completely convince this website is legitimate. The first time I encountered it I did not go through with it since it was on another website, confused and well dissuaded by another company of people, I decided not to even try. This time I did, and I'm glad I debunked that rumor. Good site, needless to say.
