Just a slight word of warning if you decide to use RefControl
sometimes you will need to send the actual referral links as some competition forms will not work if the proper referral links are not sent (I.E) some competitions require that you click on multiple pages to enter the competition and they need the actual referral links
I used to use RefControl myself but decided to stop using it because it caused quite a few problems with some of the competition sites
Cheers for the heads up :beer: I've not had any problems ......yet but it is worth bearing in mind.:T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j0 -
Hi guys,
This is a general query and I apologise if it has been picked up previously. I did do a search but couldn't find any discussions. My question is about opting in and out of marketing.
In the very helpful intro to comping Velvet Glove says that he/she always opts out of all the marketing. I've been doing this but does it reduce your chances of winning? What is the concensus on here - Do people always opt out?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.A big thank you to everyone who contibutes to the MSE forums :T0 -
Please could I ask advice compers ???
Am thinkin of joining Pink Wishes, but just wondered whether the givaways they offer are really as good as they seem ? Or do all the good ones run out really quickly ??
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

I very rarely opt out, it does mean I get loads of emails, but to my mind that's a small price to pay for the chance to win a nice prize. There's a big difference between marketing emails and SPAM and don't forget, if everyone opted out we wouldn't know about lots of the comps available. You can hear about some really good offers too.Hi guys,

I have been playing free Bingo with Gala & Mirror and I found that using RefControl with the FORGE setting stopped the Bingo cards from loading.
You can use the NORMAL setting to block individual sites and slowly build up a blocked list but it's probably just as easy to drag & drop.0 -
I think I like the forge setting so it shows me coming from their own site, rather than the blank.
Atm I don't do bingo, and I guess now, if I do get probs then hopefull I could just do the odd comp in IE if needed.My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly
