Disposable Email for Contest Entries
Online contests and sweepstakes are notorious for email harvesting. Every entry adds your address to marketing lists. BlurMail lets you participate in giveaways spam-free.
The Contest Email Harvesting Industry
Many online contests exist primarily to collect email addresses rather than to give away prizes. Contest organizers often sell participant data to marketing companies, data brokers, and affiliate networks. A single contest entry can result in your email being distributed to dozens of companies. Some contest sites use deceptive opt-in language that pre-checks marketing consent boxes, ensuring you receive promotional emails from every sponsor.
Legitimate Contests Still Spam
Even legitimate sweepstakes from reputable brands use contest entries to grow their marketing databases. The fine print typically grants the company permission to email you about products, promotions, and partner offers indefinitely. Unsubscribing from one brand does nothing about the partners who also received your information as part of the contest terms and conditions.

Generate a BlurMail address for each contest you enter. If you win, the notification arrives through push notification and you can claim your prize. If you lose, the address expires and all the marketing spam bounces harmlessly. You never have to sort through promotional emails to check for a winning notification again.
