I thought this had all been asked and answered before though? And that people had already won after entering on more than one site - in fact I thought people had won the same comp on more than one site? Has something changed?

People have said its been answered before but i couldn't find anything on the boards about this so i'd thought i would e-mail them about it to ask the question. I've entered afew of the comps for prizes that i would like to win but didn't want to spend agers entering all the sites (35+ i think) if this was not the case. Also alot of newbies like myself was unsure about it so it was just a query on my own part to rest my mind and update those who didn't know who have only just started comping.

I know that the T&C's aren't quite that crystal on the websites and it can be a pain looking at the T&C's when entering a comp on one of the many sites they have.

Sorry if i've dug up old ground covered but was just a query i had to confirm and also update people if anything had changed from the last time it was discussed or confirmed by the company

:hello: Hi cathp1 - I try to do around 100 a day if I get the chance - but some compers do far more than that!

Just received this to confirm:

[FONT=&quot]"No all entries are entered into the same database so you would have had 2 chances to win"[/FONT]

Unlimited entries across the board and once again sorry if its already been discussed and confirmed before but just wanted to get an update from the company itself just incase the T&C's did change or not

Also gives the newbies a chance to enter if they were unsure themselves

It's in VelvetGlove's comping guide. It's well worth a look through if you're new to the site, or to comping. Lots of useful stuff in there

We used to just list one station until someone asked the same questions you're asking today, then we started putting a list of all the stations once we knew it was ok - the posters wouldn't do that if you could only enter on one site!!

Tbh unless you're going to re-ask them every time there's a new comp, they could change the t+c at any time, so I would just assume it's the same now as it was last year when it was checked

I do 100-200 a day, but when I first started I used to do about 100 a week and still won stuff. Just do as many as you feel happy with and stick with it and the prizes will soon come.

Somewhere around 75 a day with a catch up on weekends. I win quite often

I try and do all the ones ending the following day then start attacking the boards..... so could be a few .....or LOADS!
Only been doing them a month or so so catching up to be done:D

hello. I was just wondering how many comps everyone enters every day or week ? I try to do 25 every day.:rotfl:

I've moved you over to the discussion board as you will get a better response there, the main boards are for comps and wins only

9 Can I enter the radio station / newspaper comps on more than one of the radio station / newspaper websites?
In the past we have had winners that have entered across all the websites in a group of radio stations, (so there is usually more than 1 prize across all the sites), some have even won twice & received the same prize from different stations!

The groups we know this to be true of are the GCAP group of radio stations, the EMAP group of radio stations & Newsquest Newspaper Network group papers. It would be a good idea though, to check the T & C of a comp as it can’t be guaranteed that they won’t change this in the future!
CARE: some newspaper comps can only entered once across the whole group, the OP will give mention this if they know this to be the case.

I did go through the comping guide before i started to post comps which was a step on the ladder to getting use to how the site run. I know what your saying but was intended as an update from BAUER itself because i may have got my wires crossed but didn't see it listed above on the comping guide and cannot find it connected in anyway with the companies listed above. Not that i dis-believe anybody who has contacted them before just intended to post an update because i couldn't see BAUER listed

I know some people may jump in feet first without reading up on comping guides and having a quick look through on the T&C's on various sites. I see MSEr also post the T&C's within the post of the thread which i tend to do also if applicable to the competition which is also very useful.

I didn't mean to go over old ground covered and was purely meant as an update to MSEr.
