Is there any way to get notifications for 'On the House' games?

EA's Origin occasionally offers certain games completely free as part of their 'On the House' promotion. As they've offered a few pretty good games in the past, I'd like some way to get notified when a new one is available so I don't miss out.

I'm not really looking for something to tell me about upcoming free games, unless it's from an official source, as many websites are happy to post erroneous or out of date information, or even just rumours.

I would prefer something like an RSS feed or email notification. The best solution I've found so far is to simply keep an eye on various gaming blogs and perhaps create a custom filter for 'On the House'. Is there a better solution?


Use a website monitoring tool (like these). I used Page Monitor for Chrome.

  1. Install the plug-in
  2. Visit the 'On the house' page
  3. Activate the plug-in by clicking the icon in the upper right
  4. Drag a selection box around just the free game image and it's title (you don't care about anything else changing)

  1. Set an email to be notified at

Let the free games roll in.
