    The number of times someone enters would depends on the competition T&C's, many only allow one entry some allow multiple/daily/unlimited entry.

    Every comp varies.
    Some are one per IP address,some one per person,some unlimited,some daily,some one per household.

    Many OP's post this & many add a link in the daily thread if needed.

    eg: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4673675&highlight=absolute

    Only one entry per person is permitted, unless otherwise stated. Automated entries will be invalidated, including multiple entries from the same IP or telephone number range.

    eg: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4675681&highlight=household

    Entries must be submitted by an individual (not via any agency or similar) and, unless otherwise stated, are limited to one per household.

    If it's once per person I enter via my name & spouse.

    If it's once per household I enter via my name.

    If its unlimited I get bored I often do not do many entries.

    If it is weekly I sometimes enter weekly.

    Just do what you feel comfortable with & do not worry :-)

    I enter once on each comp, unless it is something like the itv comps then do the full 3 or 6 allowed.

    If they are unlimited entries, then sometimes i don't even bother entering as I know that there will be loads of entries (unless the prize is really good!).

    Good luck with your comping xx

    I enter everything once. Would rather enter 50 comps once than 1 comp 50 times. Have won a couple unlimited and daily entry comps using just the once.

    Best thing is to not expect to win, that way the wins are sweeter when they arrive. I just enter and move on, couldn't even tell you what I entered five comps ago without looking!
    Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...

    Um - I hate to say this but your monthly total is some people's daily. I enter each comp once unless it's a daily - I don't bother with unlimited entries at all.

    I had a poor month in April with about 4 or 5 wins & may was going the same way until 31st when I won a holiday - since then things have picked up & I've had loads of wins - I haven't added loads to my sig yet
