Viewing Competitions Question
Hi, There used to be a way to view 200 comps on a page, is this still possible? I can't see anything in the compers guide. Thanks in advance :j, Abi

Adblock issue when entering mag dailies
I have been having a problem with entering mag dailies (Ideal Home, Maria Claire, InStyle etc). With Adblock turned on, upon entering the form and submitting, I get a message on the page saying: It appears you have ad block enabled which maybe effecting the functionality of the website. To ensure you have maximum…
Is Comping on the decline?
I've noticed lately, and I can't be the only one, that comps are few and far between. Competitions are getting less and less, I'm sure this time last year we had probably a third more than we currently do. Daily easter egg hunts, the soup and mug type instant wins where are they all going! ? :eek: Even on social media if…
Comping Blogs?
Hi are there any comping blogs out there where people record there wins etc?
Do you think it matters not using your real name on Twitter?
Hi everyone! I have a really unusual name IRL and I didn't really want to use my actual name on my twitter account (I can really easily be found and dont particularly want my friends and family following the account) I've just started with doing a twitter account for competitions but wondering... do you think that not…
C&W Issues
Anyone having issues today with Click & Win ? Thanks
What's your competition entry routine?
I am new to comping but already hopelessly addicted. I have won a few Facebook comps so far but nothing from anywhere else. I was just curious what everyone's competition entry routine is? I currently do mumsnet, pirate fm and iwon-iwon click to wins while having breakfast. Then I do any new ones on MSE including any daily…
Chromebook / tabs / Dashlane / mouse
I am thinking of getting a Chromebook for comping. I've searched the forum and they seem suitable, but can someone advise re a few points if poss? (Please excuse my non-techiness, I really am useless these days so feel free to talk to me like I'm 8 - although to be honest they'd probably still be way better at it all than…
Is it okay to...has anyone else?
So, I don't have any kids, But I would like them one day...is it okay to enter competitions for baby stuff?! Baby things cost SO much money, and my reckoning is that it would take me years to win anything "decent" that is needed for a baby, but my gut tells me it's wrong to enter when I'm not even in a relationship or…
clicktowin comps postings on main board
hi, due to quite a few of CTW comps being posted on main board just lately does anyone think maybe the guidelines from this vote https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5015979 should be updated/changed ? there is a dedicated thread for them in Reg comps where any over £500 or new 'one off multiple entry' ones can…
Comp posting help please

Free Postcode Lottery being forced to change their name
Apparently the People's Postcode Lottery (paid lottery site) aren't happy that there's a free service out there, so they're suing hard. The big tell tale here is them not accepting a proposed name change, which is a pretty disgusting business practice. While it might just be a name change for now, it sounds like that's…
Dickinsons Real Deal - Paypal entry
This is probably old news, but I happened to come across a Real Deal comp yesterday and noticed it said something about a Paypal payment. They're £2 to enter now, which I guess is usually in the form of a £2 phone call ... but I had never noticed there was a enter online Paypal option before, so just in case anyone wants…
Instagram Competitions
Hi all, I’ve won quite a few things on instagram lately and as most of the comps require you to like and tag a friend and allow you multiple entries the more people you tag, I was wondering if anyone would like to team up? If you follow me @alexipop101 and let me know in this thread what your insta name is, I’ll tag you in…
facebook competitions
I have 4 facebook accounts. When I have to share a post for an entry I share it with myself as a private message so I don't distrubt my friends. I noticed a few days ago that after a competition had picked their 3 winners someone posted that the winners had not shared and it was redrawn. How can other users tell if I have…
Rafflecopter- worth entering?
This may be a really stupid question but I’m fairly new to comping so bear with me. Does anyone actually ever win anything with the rafflecopter and gleam entries? I feel like it’s a bit weird with all these multiple entries and it takes a good five minutes (which I guess isn’t that long but in comparison to some others it…
Entering more than once?
Have you ever or do you enter a competition more than once? Not talking about multiple entries. For example using another email address or entering another postal address (family member). If the Ts & Cs doesn't state you can't do this then do you or have you?
