I just was curious for all the gamers out there, what you would consider a worthy prize to give away at a gaming site?

Our budget is between $50-$100...

Thanks!

Been down that road a few times, What I would recommend is that you instead of giving away one $50.00 prize that you give away 800 point Microsoft cards for your readers. or PSN cards if your doing PS3 stuff

This way you can host a few different contests or posting contests. Also this isnt going to be enough to keep them coming back you are better to just do it slow and steady with great content (articles grammar etc) and proper SEO

Thanks for the reply ggiersdorf, this prize would be given away monthly based on performance and contributions to the site. So that may change your view of the idea, I guess a little more info on my part would have helped. Any others? For the first two months we have done this we have given away games. Mortal Kombat and a copy of Modern Warfare 3 when it's released. We are just trying to find other ideas. I will look into the Microsoft and PSN Cards though...

Perhaps I don't understand your post, but let me know one thing; are you running an online gaming website? If yes, then you should invest your money in the dedicated server; set the fix amount of charges for players;.....Simultaneously, you can opt the way which is siggested by other members.

Ok the site more closely resembles a Clan site. Although visitors can join and not be in the clan. It has articles, and info as well as apparel related to the clan. The monthly prize goes to the member that has the most points accumulated. Points are given for various things such as posts on forums, submission of images or videos, buying apparel, subscribing to YouTube Channel, etc. The site looks ok, we just want some ideas on a worthy prize besides a game to give away. Just need ideas on cool gamer related prizes.

Depending what kind of website, and if you have forum that could help.
You can make referral contest, the user that gets the most users to join your website/forum(on monthly basis) should get a reward. Reward can be some kind of digital goods. Like retail game keys or even steam gifts. You dont realy need 50-100$. Maybe if you put lots of prizes!
