Is it Possible to Get Paintball Equipment For Free?

By Jerry Benson


Getting paintball gear for free is something many paintball players dream about. Wouldn't it be awesome if a someone would just hand over a brand new Eclipse Geo? As awesome as that sounds, it's not that likely.

Not very many businesses or people would give a brand new Geo, or anything for that matter for completely free. It just isn't very likely.

Most of the time the really good freebies come with strings attached. You usually have to fill out a survey, give them your mailing or email address in order to get a chance at getting free gear. It isn't that bad of a deal considering you don't have to pay for anything, but what stinks is the fact that you may not win anything at all.

Raffles are one of the most widely known ways to get freebies. However, you aren't always guaranteed to win anything at all, which makes them kind of impractical if you want a new marker in a given time period. Your chances of winning a raffle are slim at best, and I, well... I want things to be a little more guaranteed. Don't get me wrong, I've won some raffles back in the day, but I've also lost more than I've won.

It's not that I hate raffles (don't get me wrong, it's way better than spending money), its just that I feel there are better ways to get free gear than by leaving things to chance. There are a couple options when it comes to getting gear without having to fork over any dollars, but what I would consider a more guaranteed route would be using a site that allows you to earn points for free that you can exchange for paintball gear.

Anyway, what I am basically saying is that you can indeed get free paintball gear by doing a raffle or signing up for an incentive driven site for which you exchange points for free gear. Raffles are great, but they also stink because you don't always win. In the end, earning a couple points a day by taking a survey on an incentive site is a great way to guarantee you get free paintball stuff.
