For some time now many online sites have offered Free Games for consoles and PC to their users. Finally for the first time, you can get Minecraft Free! Keep in mind this isn't a method to get a pirated version of the game or anything of the kind. You will get a Minecraft Paid account bought for you. The Creator (Notch) still gets paid for the purchase of the game. However you won't be the one who is paying for it - this site does!

Join the growing number of users to this site, in getting Minecraft completely Free and attainable in just a couple of hours!



With this guide you will be able to get a Minecraft account upgraded to the paid version. Of course, the game will be bought for you.


How does it work?


The prize site that you join will purchase the actual games for you and send the game to you, in this case they will activate your username on Minecraft with a purchased registration. 
The site also offers free Amazon gift certificates, which are posted to you by mail from Amazon or even Steam games, which are Gift purchased for you. It is only recently that they have added Minecraft to the list of prizes.

One condition is that you need to be from the USA, UK, Canada or Australia to be able to claim your prize from the site.


So what do I need to do?

Step 1 - Sign up.

Follow the link HERE and sign up for an account at the Free Games website.


Enter your e-mail in the center and confirm your Prize account when you receive the activation message in your e-mail.

Step 2 - The Points!

Now that you are signed up log into your account and its time to get points!
Points can be traded in for prizes. 1 point on the site is worth $1 which you can use to request your game.

To start, click on the "Get Points" tab at the top of the page and check for Available offers.

The points for completing these offers are shown on the right side of each offer and you should also see a description of what you need to do to complete each offer. Make sure you carefully follow the description to get your points.

It is strongly recommended to get your first points by using the Walkthrough further below. As it will guide you step-by-step through a particular offer.
If you wish to proceed on your own, the best advice would be to first change the setting to "Least to Greatest" using the "sort by" filter and trying out a low crediting offer to begin with. After you've credited a low crediting offer it should give you a nice overview of where to start, after which you can move on to Greater reward offers.

Make a New Account on Minecraft.net:
Go to Minecraft Homepage (http://www.minecraft.net/) and make a new account. You will be required to send your Username (only username) when you make a request on the Prize site. They will use your username to upgrade your account to Paid registration.

Click on Prizes:




Go to Page 5 in the Online Games Section from Prize List: 
Go to page 5 and scroll down until you see Minecraft. Click below it where it says "Click here to claim this prize". 

Confirm your request for Minecraft: 
At this point, make sure you have already made a new account on Minecraft's main site. If you haven't made one already click HERE to Open a new window to the site.



Once you have your Minecraft free account ready, input your Minecraft username in the box provided on the prize site, as shown above. Double check your username making sure it is correct, as this will be the account which will be registered to paid version.

How to know when my Minecraft account has been upgraded to Paid?: 
You will be notified on the prize site when your prize has been processed. Click on Prize Claims tab.
As soon as you have made your request it will say that your prize is "Pending".  Once the Prize site has finalized your request the "Pending" notification will have changed to "Processed" as shown below. You can now download the latest version of Minecraft from their site and access it just like any other Paid user.

Prize claims for Minecraft usually take a few hours to process. Some days there may be a high demand for Minecraft on the site, in which case they will be busy and take a little more time. It shouldn't take more than 1-2 days, so keep checking back to see if your request has been processed.

And that is it!
