    Hello everyone. I am not sure if this is the right place, but I have a question.
    Do people regularly win on Dennis comps? There were many posted on here quite recently, which was the British touring car related and there were only around 25 people on here that entered each one. There were supposed to be 15 tickets per comp and I didn't see one winning announcement! I entered them all as this would have been something that I would have loved to have won and I find it odd that noone from here won even once!!!! This has got me questioning whether they are legitimate, so I thought I would ask to get some confirmation.
    Here is an example of one of them.

    Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved.

    hi, yes, there's been winners from the dennis comps,
    weeowens usually posts them on main board comps & has been doing for a long time,
    you can search the IWIWIW board & find them,
    but, not everyone posts thier wins,
    some just pm the op to thank them
    (i get lots of pm's from peeps on here that have won from my comps but they don't post them in IWIW)
    but again, some peeps do post the wins,

    you say around 25 people entered that particular one,
    well, if you look at the stats there were 154 views, so more like over 200 people entered,
    not everyone remembers/clicks on to thank the ops for postings
    & remember lots of lurkers enter them without logging in/thanking,
    the thanks button is a bit misleading for how many people enter the comps,
    then other comp sites put on the comps so thier members enter from the other sites so you actually treble the entry numbers,

    hthx
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    I have won with dennis competitions in the past, it was a Doctor Who prize just before Christmas. HTH :)


    Hope everyone is well, haven't been in here in ages.

    Its been quiet on the prize front for me - nearly 2 weeks without the sniff of a win :(.
    Have started packing and planning for our holidays already - we don't leave for another 4 weeks though! :rotfl: But we are going for 12 days, so there is a lot of stuff to pack especially with a 2 year old!

    Lots hope its a lucky month for all,

    :)

  • Hello all
    How's it going?

    This is scary; man becomes a grandfather at 29.....Only 3.5 years older than me!!!!!!! http://news.uk.msn.com/odd-news/man-29-becomes-britain%e2%80%99s-youngest-grandparent

    I posted a thread in IWIWIW the other day....I've now contacted ISP because I've had no response from the company concerned and it was a competition that should be trusted as it's a big company that ran it etc.

    Hi,I've won three times via Dennis over the last two years.Minor prizes but prizes nontheless.One was a years supply of crisps:rotfl:

    I can understand why it may be seen as bit iffy but I just see them a bit like the iTV comps.We get a few more entries in plus no messing with silly capchas.Roboform flys through the forms & then just cross your fingers.Re pms on wins the same applys here.Some of the Mse membership do not like posting in "I won" but will pm the op instead.
    Re not thanking a member,this was highlighted in a thread recently with a member that was was happy to comment & criticise but had not thanked a comp poster once :-(
    Hope you get a win soon :-)
  • Hi everyone,

    I hope that this is the right place to post this.
    It appears as if thousands of comp users info has been stolen from the sun. Here is the link to the BBC feed

    Let's hope it's nothing too bad.

    I'll do one of those eleventh Heaven things in a bit
