  • How long have you been comping? I notice your join date is august, it may just be that the comps you have entered haven't finished yet!

    I'm sure your first win is just around the corner. (maybe try the frusli game on facebook)

    Give it time things have been very slow this year. The last three years were better ( see sig ) The thing is with comps you never know when the phone will ring, wem's or deliverys may turn up. Keep at it. Good luck

    2014 £44.00:mad:2013 £83.00 2012 £601.50

  • a think am just impatient. havent been doing it long but as i say i think am addicted to comping. but your all great on the site really helpful thanks.
  • Hi,

    I've been comping since July and am managing to enter about 70 per month - a drop in the ocean for some but all the time I have for me :o)

    Not won a thing myself yet either - I'm curious djl - you've done quite well over the past few years - how many comps do you enter a month?

    Thanks,

    Ben.
  • Enter lots... and lots....

    I enter about 75-100 a day.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    Wow - that's dedication. How do you manage to find the time?!

  • It took me a few months to get into the swing of things and started to receive books at first the after three months I have been extremely lucky to have had so many amazing wins this year. It is down to luck but if you have only started comping since last month it can take a while for competitions to close and sometimes even longer to be informed/receive prizes. Keep at it and you will win eventually hun :)

    The best way to increase your wins is enter as many as possible, sounds obvious but it really can make a difference and if you have time set up a facebook and twitter account for comps, my first win was a little coin purse about 3 months after starting 2 years ago, mse is on most of the day and I fit it in around my work and family commitments, I noticed when I had a lot of spare time over Christmas I stepped things up and won a lot more - persevere with it, we all get fed up and then the postie knocks after a draught with a little (or big) something and you will feel renewed:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
