Three simple steps to earning sweepstakes entries on your outdoor gear purchases
Browse & Shop
Explore our curated selection of top outdoor retailers. Find the gear you need from brands like REI, Patagonia, Backcountry, and more. Click "Shop Now" to visit the retailer's website through our tracked link.
Earn Entries Automatically
Every purchase you make through our links earns you sweepstakes entries — automatically. You get 1 entry for every $1 you spend, no matter which retailer.
Win Outdoor Gear
Your entries go into our regular sweepstakes drawings for premium outdoor gear. We're starting with prizes in the $300-$400 range and growing from there. More shopping means more entries and more chances to win.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free?
Yes! Creating an account and shopping through our links is completely free. You earn entries just by shopping — retailers fund the program, not you.
Do I pay more shopping through Epic Outdoor?
No. You pay the exact same prices as if you went directly to the retailer's website. Our commission comes from the retailer, not from you.
How do sweepstakes entries work?
You earn 1 entry for every $1 you spend through our links, up to a maximum of 5,000 entries per sweepstakes. Entries are calculated automatically when your purchase is confirmed by the retailer.
When are entries confirmed?
Entries are confirmed after the retailer's return period ends, typically 30-90 days after purchase. This ensures the purchase is final before entries are awarded.
Do I need to buy something to enter?
No purchase necessary. Alternative entry methods are available for each sweepstakes drawing. See our Official Rules for details.
