VorparWin implies that you get something for nothing.No it doesn't. In almost everything you can win there is a stake involved (not always money, sometimes effort).

Generally, simply use "free" and not "for free."
If you have a specific sentence you have a question about, you can post it here, as always.
I would completely agree that "win" shouldn't have "free" or "for free" in that example.
