11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

When you look at the terms and conditions of a competition, usually there is a 'no purchase necessary' route (where a purchase is usually necessary to enter). This is something that I have always seen and I was wondering, is this something that is put onto the terms and conditions at the discretion of the promoter or is it something they have to include by law?

I have come across a competition on ebuyer.com for a holiday and you have to buy a TV to enter (:eek:) and I looked for a NPN entry route but didn't find one

any info would be helpful

The No Purchase route used to be a requirement throughout the UK but the law changed a few years ago and now it's only required in Northern Ireland.
