A jar of marmalade though is a nice treat! everyone loves food prizes! xxx

I read it that they were going to pre-marmalade the toast rather than send you a jar. Delivered by airship too!!

Lol, it made me laugh anyway!:)

I enter comps because it is fun and I regard it as a hobby so not much point having someone else enter for me!

Hi,

Is anyone using win24's competition entering service? No If so is it any good? Haven't got a clue Looks legit but would be nice to know. It's £2.75 a week and they enter you into a load of competitions plus daily entry for a £1mill draw. You can enter via the comps. on here for £0.00 per week, and there is no chance of getting disqualified via an automated entry type route

Opinions please! See above



Have I posted this in the wrong place? Yes, I will ask a BG to move it to comps. discussion thread

Thanks

See this advice from Jason of Loquax
http://www.loquax.co.uk/webmaster/autoentry.htm

You are highly likely to have your entry disqualified if you use sites like Win24.

Have you ever wondered where those organisations get their leads from? ie the supply of all the latest competitions to enter.

I guess they come on to sites like this MSE or Loquax etc for all the information.

The trouble is if you use the number of "thanks" as a guide to how many people have entered a comp via MSE it would be wildly out because that never takes account of all the thousands who have been entered by these "third party" sites.

dont understand why you'd want to pay to get these automated entires that in a lot of comps arent valid...........the whole point in comping is the fun of doing the entries and knowing YOU won it not some computer that u put no effort into at all............just my opinion and good luck in comps u enter
ps i like winning cos its free not cos ive paid £3 a week lol im a cheap skate!

Well spotted BT I have removed the reference to the link in my post. So many affiliate links, so little time
