Advantages: can win real money, free to play Disadvantages: you have to play a lot to win
Uproar UK, in their own words a site where the fun never stops. Well Is it as much fun as they say, what games will you find and more importantly can you win real dosh???
Well uproar is quite a slick looking site, you can play as a guest but that wont allow you to win any of the vast prizes on offer (that’s a joke). However registration is easy and fast and you get to choose you’re own nickname to use when playing.
... ...the Home page, here you can see exactly what games are available, how many players in each game and which games offer prizes too.
The games themselves are varied and extremely well designed and playable, the well-known games being your old TV favourites.

Well uproar is quite a slick looking site, you can play as a guest but that wont allow you to win any of the vast prizes on offer (that’s a joke). However registration is easy and fast and you get to choose you’re own nickname to use when playing.
Once you log in you are confronted with the Home page, here you can see exactly what games are available, how many players in each game and which games offer prizes too.
The games themselves are varied and extremely well designed and playable, the well-known games being your old TV favourites.
Family fortunes:
You all remember this and this adaptation of the popular game is one of the best ones. You pit your wits against a varying number of opponents and have three rounds of play. Here you have to find the top answers to a question that 100 people were asked and the percentage of people who said your choice becomes your score, however you get only 3 lives, so choose wisely! The topics are very wide and varied, however I have come across the odd wrong answer even. One example here that shocked me was: Question; Name 6 things children do to get pocket money? So your thing ink, baby-sit, paper-round, well believe it or not one of the answers was * Have sex*, rather worrying don’t you think….lol. This was a one off though and Ive only seen it once, after the 3 normal rounds you get the big money round, here you have 60 seconds to try and find the top answer to 5 questions. You then get a score, so many draw entries for beating others and so many for each top answer you managed to get right, then fingers crossed as you go into a weekly draw for £50.
Bingo Blitz:
Everyone’s favourite Bingo! Here the prize on offer is a £5 Amazon voucher, which is drawn every 2 hours. To be in with a chance of this most coveted prize you firstly need to get a full house on your bingo cards. You are given 3 and the shape of the winning Bingo card changes each game, so in actual fact, you only need complete the shape on one card to claim bingo. 57 numbers are drawn and this takes around 8 minutes (not over brain taxing in speed I hasten to add). This is ideal to play if say you are rating on Ciao, as the slowness allows you to switch between windows with ease. This is an easy one and well worth a go as yes I actually have won a voucher on this one.
There is also another Bingo, Full House Bingo, but this is full house only, meaning every single number on your ticket and this would win you a given amount which goes up all the time until someone wins, it has been over £100 but it’s not very often won, so this I tend not to bother with.
Catchphrase:
Another TV fave, and this ones a good substitute, again you are teamed with various opponents and here you get to choose an avatar, for those who do not know it is a character, so you can choose what you look like to others playing. The idea of course, guess the catchphrase in a limited amount of time, the faster earning you more points. These are either blindingly easy or extremely hard, but its well designed and runs well too. After each catchphrase if you have typed the correct answer in, you get a shot at the bonus, hit enter to reveal a square and try and guess the catchphrase, again the less squares you reveal, the more points you get for it. At the end of the normal Catchphrases you get the same game as winners on the show get across the board correctly guessing the answers gets you extra draw entries. Again here you are entered into a weekly draw to win £50
Puzzle –A –Go_Go
Choose your look again here and meet others in the lobby to wait and play, here you can chat to other players via a cartoon style bubble from your mouth!!. Once in the game you play against 2 other opponents, and get a word to guess, it tells you the category of the word and shows you the number of spaces in it, all you need to do is take turns and guess a letter, if correct it is added to the word and you get a chance to solve it for points. You can still chat too whilst playing to the opponents in your room, for example, you can tell them well done or hard luck, depending on how it goes! The winner overall gets prize passes, again this is a 2 hour draw and you get the huge sum of, wait for it £3 if you actually get drawn!
Trivia
There are various trivia sections, entertainment, sports and more, these speak for themselves, a series of questions on chosen categories which the more you correctly guess the more entries you get, this one carries a weekly prize of £15. Also under this is picture blitz, a celebrity that you must reveal, after squares are removed one at a time. So much fun eh!
Casino
Two games here that you can win on if your lucky enough: One-armed Bandits Booty is a poor substitute for a fruit machine, the idea being you start with 99 credits and can bet up to 5 each spin in order to get more points. For every 100 you win you get one draw entry and you can play as long as you wish, however this game is slow, boring and has completely no appeal whatsoever in the fun stakes. However this one does have the weekly draw prize of £100, so if you are prepared to be bored silly then maybe it’s worth entering on the off chance!
Big Video Deal poker
The classic poker game here, so if like me you have no idea how to play it, then forget it!, however if you are a poker master then have a go, each game offers you the chance to win the accumulating pot, which at present stands at £250, or if not you enter a weekly draw for £25.Again a well designed game that looks good too.
Wordox
A relatively new game, which is similar to scrabble really, there are various tables available, and if you are the first to join you become host of that particular one and can call the shots by editing preferences, you have 7 letter tiles and you make a word with as many as you can, you can also steal other players tiles to make them up too. The winner is usually the first to get to 50 points, unless the host has changed this, you can choose any table available or just watch instead! This is just for fun and you won’t win a penny here!
These are only a few of the games on offer at www.uproar.co.uk There are more offering prize draws and also some arcade games just for fun. Apart from the in game chat function you can use to talk to other players; you can load a separate chat to talk to anyone in any game at that time. However I can’t tell you a lot about this, as I tend not to bother!
Uproar also offers you the chance to add their games to your own website You get a choice of a few games to add and you will receive cash for anyone who registers at uproar from your site…
Now after reading this, you have a fair idea of the games and fun you can or cannot have at uproar uk, well if you have some free time, they are worth a go, as I mentioned several times, they have a well thought up design and are smooth and some are very enjoyable to play too, the television spin offs are definitely the best and extremely true to the shows in look and play. So if you like these teasers and puzzles them I’m sure you will love this site, but it would be nice if the prizes were a little higher and more frequent I feel in order to keep you playing as an incentive.
Advantages: Fast, Free, Fun, Friendly. Oh yes: money Disadvantages: Addictive. Not won yet.
...their own chatrooms too. Again Uproar.co.uk use Java Applets to provide pop-up boxes where, should you want, you can chat to the other users while you play. It’s often the case that people will just ignore the game running in the background and keep chatting away (thanks for being easy to beat, guys!) and there can be quite a little community of friendly faces (well, names at least) that builds up around the various games.
The Uproar site ... ...but it uses them in a sensible way. It list of games you can play is never more than a click away while you’re surfing the site. Once you’ve found somewhere to play then, if needs be, the screen will open up to give you all the space you need.
The server is fast too. I play Flipside as well but I often get bored to tears (and give up) at the speed of their computer. Rather, I should say, at the lack of the speed of their server. Uproar ...

...cold I was, I visited uproar.co.uk to see what the games I’d read about on ciao so much were all about.
I’ve never played online games before and expected to be bored stiff. Instead, I’ve become very attached to this site and am in serious danger of being addicted.
Plus, I played on the Sunday and got an email on the Monday telling me I’d won some cash!!! That was it. The seed was sewn and I’ve been at it all alone ... ...You’ve probably been taken to uproar.co.uk games after you’ve played the lottery and clicked a banner to confirm your entry.
If so, you’ll know that it looks good, loads fast, is laid out clearly and is easy to navigate and understand.

Advantages: free comps and money!!!!!!!!!!!! Disadvantages: none
As a lot of you probably know, I'm a competitions-nut and hardly anything can compare to me finding a brand new competition to enter, well imagine my joy when browsing around on my computer last night I found uproar (well somebody else found it and e-mailed me but I was chuffed anyway!!), and here is my story of a day and a bit spent at uproar.co.uk. First off there was the sign-up - it wasn't too hard, just your standard fare of personal details, ... ...to these terms and conditions' and before long you was into the actual site, within a couple of minutes the words welcome chucky2k were on the screen (chucky2k being my new screen-name, long story don't ask!!) and I decided to have a look around, any of you out there who don't know what uproar is well its a games site, where many of the games you can win money (well entry into prize-draws, but still its better than a poke in the eye!), and low and ...
