How We Collect and Rank

Where the data comes from

We only use public information. We don’t copy other sites’ writing: the text here is our own, and every page names its data source.

When we update

The site updates every night, shortly after midnight Eastern Time. On Thursdays we also update in the afternoon, right after the Epic Games Store swaps its free game.

If a source goes down, we keep the previous day’s data and catch up as soon as it’s back. We never publish an empty page.

How we rank

Giveaways that end soon come first. Then come full games, ranked by a score that combines the game’s regular price, how popular the giveaway is (how many people have claimed it) and how new it is. The most searched stores, like Epic Games and Steam, get more weight. DLC and items come after full games.

We only list giveaways from official stores and platforms. Key giveaways run by third-party sites that require sign-ups or tasks are left out.

Limits

Stores can change or end a giveaway without notice, so always double-check the deadline on the store page before you claim. Spotted something wrong? Email contact@lootgratis.com.
