    Hello everyone! I'm back and comping again; I had a hiatus from mid last year (after my huge success with my PS3 game that went really well with my imaginary PS3) and I also won a beauty kit which was nice. Can't figure out how to change my signature though, so I'll be forever bragging about my PS3 game win.....really enjoying being back in the running :)

    Hi everyone,:j

    I'm new over on this board :) (:beer:-bribery drinks for all so i can come post here :D)

    I'm usually found lurking and posting on the DFW board, but thought I would try my luck here :D

    Can I ask a few q's from a virgin comper :o
    Is there a limit on the amount of times you can enter a comp?
    Also how many do you all enter every week/month on average to win so many prizes! I'd be happy if i won just one :rotfl:

    Oh and if anyone has any tips for me please that would be great... :)

    I think the Postman is avoiding me :(

    Just got back from the vets, after 8 weeks of keeping the dog quiet and numerous after op vet visits he should have got the 'All Clear' this week, but now he has got to have the same op on the other leg!!! He started limping last week and we hoped it was just where he had been compensating for the leg that had been operated on, but no such luck. Here we go again............

    Welcome, hope you have some luck. You need to check the Terms and Conditions of the comps. With some, if you enter more than once you are disqualified. Some are once per person, some are once per household, so be careful.

    I enter about 100 every day, sometimes more, sometimes less, just do as many as you are comfortable with. If it becomes a chore you will give up altogether. Oh, and don't expect to win! Look on it as a hobby and if you win it is a bonus. Good Luck :)

    :wave:Hi Debtfreewannabee, anyone handing out bribery drinks are ALWAYS welcome :D.

    To answer your question: Most comps are 1 entry, per person only. However, there are some daily or multiple entry comps, but it is usually pointed out in the title how often you can enter, if it is more than just the 1 entry.

    As for how many I enter, I estimate about 80-100 a day and I win on average 1 or 2 prizes a week (AlthoughI tend to go a couple weeks without a win and then get 3 or 4 at once!)

    Check out the comping guide here, its full of useful info, hints and tips.

    Best of luck :beer:
