A new website is giving away dream homes. What you need to get one: an Internet connection and a good eye.

Play an online game, win a house. Really? It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not.

A new website, Play4Property.com, is very legitimate, and it’s one of the few sources of good news to recently hit a beleaguered real estate industry.

Here’s how it works: you register at the site, pay a small entry fee and play a game of skill called Spot the Ball. In the game, you’re presented with a picture of people playing a sport (like soccer, for example). But the ball has been digitally, and seamlessly, removed. The players in the photo are looking at where the ball used to be and you have to click where it is.

Sound super-easy? It’s not. See, you’re aiming for the exact center of the ball so it requires good reasoning skills and perhaps a simple understanding of high school geometry to do well. To make it even more legitimate, a lawyer, in the presence of a sports expert, analyzes the original photographs to determine the precise center of the ball. Overkill? Not really. After all, great houses are on the line.

The person who clicks closest to the absolute center will win!  There are two competition types you can enter in, the Main Competition costs $35 to play, but, the prizes are big – you can win  a house, or you can play the Instant Win Competition, and win a lower prized prize, like a laptop or other tech gadgets. And, no, the houses are not rickety outhouses in the middle of the Yukon worth only $50. The value of the available house depends on the amount collected in entry fees. The value of the property you get as your winning prize is based upon the number of players you have competed with. Properties range in value up to $5 million.

You could win a house for just $35.00

Anthony Davis, Play4Property.com’s managing director, says that the odds of winning at his site are as low as 1 in 15,000. That’s much better than your chances of wining the lottery—about 1 in 120 million. And unlike the lottery, this game actually requires the player to think. It’s not all about luck, which, Davis says, makes it much more fun to play. If you are the best at playing, you will win!

But the game isn’t only for those hoping to win a new house. Sellers, too, can use the site to market their home. And for some people, this could be a viable, carefree option. Instead of wondering about buyers’ financing or dealing with annoying open houses, sellers simply upload a description of the house and some photos, and wait for players to start clicking.

And there’s a third way to get involved: the site is looking to partner with affiliates who can earn money by securing properties and getting players involved.

Traditional? Far from it. A clever idea? Definitely.

Earn Affiliate income in the comfort of your own home

In the current economy, a lot of people are turning to Affiliate Programs as a method of earning some extra cash and supplementing their income.  But for many, that have lost their jobs, and finding it hard to find another job in this downward job market, becoming an Affiliate could prove to be just as financially rewarding as any other job.

Play4Property’s Affiliate Program enables some affiliates to earn up to $200K a year if you are successful in acheiving 5,000 referrals a month.  Sounds like a lot, but, with the phenomena of viral marketing, if your active on many of the social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or  a regular blog contributor, chances are your getting more exposure on the internet than you think!

Play4Property provide affiliates with all the marketing materials they need in order to be successful.  So whether your a stay at home mom looking to supplement the household income, looking for a new career path where you can work at home for yourself with no deadlines, no boss, or needing an income while you go  back to school, so long as you are over the age of 18, have a computer, and a little bit of time on your hands, being an affiliate is a good option for you.

“The countdown to launch page is still up where interested property owners can still register for more information on marketing their property in a property competition, and those interested in being affiliates or players can enter their information to be updated on news and events leading up to launch” Managing Director Anthony Davis advised yesterday.

So what is Play4Property?  If you haven’t heard the hype already, its a game of skill competition website, where players of the ‘game of skill’ (Spot the Ball) compete to win the major prize of the home of their dreams (the winner actually gets to choose the house from the available properties globally available) and there are runner up prizes such as luxury cars, laptops, gaming consoles and more.

Property competition websites are gaining popularity in recent years as the property market declines, and sellers are finding that its not easy to sell a house in this economy.  There have been several very successful property competitions in the UK – and Anthony Davis hopes to spread that success to the US and Australian Markets also.

“We’ve had many enquiries already from private home owners who are really interested in trying this method of marketing in order to sell their house. We’re also working with a lot of very succesful realtors and real estate agents in the USA and UK who are very open to promoting their clients properties in our database.  Its a win-win situation for everyone, because the property seller achieves the market price for the home at the time of the competition close (if the winner chooses their property) and obviously for the winner, its a great scenario  to be in because you then own the house you chose that suits your location, lifestyle and needs and you own it free and clear.  The interest we are generating in Play4Property is global, we’ve had enquiries from many parts of Europe, the UK, North and South America, Asia and Australia.”

Its cirtainly a tempting proposition to never have to pay rent or mortgage payments again, and with a global recession, who wouldn’t want to make the cost of living so much cheaper.

Play4Property will officially launch now on May4th, so check out the website, and who knows, you could be a lucky winner.

With each competition that closes, Play4Property contributes a portion of competition proceeds to the winners charity of choice. Today as citizens of the world, we face a daunting array of social and environmental problems ranging from health care and education to global warming and economic inequality. For each of these issues, whether local or global in scope, there are millions of people who care passionately about working for change but lack the resources necessary to translate their interest into effective action. Play4Property aims to contribute towards positive change.

Play4Property launches 'game of skill' to market real estate

Play4Property was founded in 2008 by Anthony Davis as a creative way to market real estate in a challenged economy.  After seeing a rapid increase in popularity of property competitions in the UK by frustrated home owners desperate for any marketing tactic to sell their homes, Anthony decided to develop and launch a global  portal that allowed home owners, developers and real estate agents/realtors to participate by marketing their properties on the site.

To enter the competition to win a house, first you must play a ‘game of skill’ and pay the entry fee (its US$35.00 for the American based site) The game of skill is called Spot the Ball, in which there is a photograph of a soccer match in which the soccer ball has been expertly digitally removed from the photograph.  The ‘game of skill’ is to determine the exact center of where you think the ball is in the picture.  Sounds easy?  Its not.  But, in each competition, there always is a winner, and if nobody picked the exact pixel of the center of the ball, the winner is the person who was closest, as determined by a sporting expert.

The winner of the competiton gets to choose their ‘prize’ from the portfolio of participating properties, and choose for themselves the home that suits their geographical location, lifestyle and personality.  Play4Property then faciliates the purchase of the home from the seller (using the proceeds of the competition revenues) and the winner gets the title to the house, free and clear, the keys to the door, and the luxury of never having to pay rent or mortgage payments again!

And for the property seller – they get to sell the property at the appraised market value at the time of the competition close.

Its a win/win for all involved, but, you do have to be IN IT to WIN IT.

Spot the ball is simple but there is considerable skill in judging where you think the ball is.
