How many competitions do you enter?

cte1111

I've been doing 100 a day for the last month. So far I've had half a dozen small wins.

a part from ITV comps I only enter competition once.

in June I have enter 948 this month, and have won 8 competitions from all them enters

It all depends on the prize as to how many times I enter the same comp. The Nisa/Loco ones (the comps with 100 entries allowed) I may keep a tally if its a good prize, but if its something Id like then its just one a day.

Dailies everyday, I have them bookmarked in a folder on my internet so open all tabs and quickly go through them.

In terms of how many comps Ive entered Ive had a bad couple of months due to internet problems, busy life and going away so Ive only entered the following:

March: 665
April: 893
May: 985
June: 974 so far (still working through Month end ones)

I usually get it over 1000 different comps a month and have had some good wins in the past. It really is all about the luck of the draw. Plus Ive heard that there are more people entering comps in 2013 as opposed to 2012 so that will make it harder. Apparently over the years more and more people are trying this hobby out too. Makes me wish I started way before I did, but I was of the (often popular) belief that people who entered comps were mad as "no-one ever wins these things" :rotfl:

So far this month Ive won one thing so less than the person above.

Also if you are only in it for the prizes it can get very hard. Its all in the mindset. Look at entering comps as something to do in your spare time to kill a bit of time, not something to do just to win. Otherwise you'd go crazy.

I enter comps once generally but do do about 100 daily ones too plus the ITV ones the max amount of times.
My totals are about 1000 per week but that doesn't include the dailies

Every comp varies.
Some are one per IP address,some one per person,some unlimited,some daily,some one per household.

Many OP's post this & many add a link in the daily thread if needed.

Only one entry per person is permitted, unless otherwise stated. Automated entries will be invalidated, including multiple entries from the same IP or telephone number range.

Hi Weeowens. Your comment above worried me slightly! Regarding the ITV comps, as it's generally 3 or 6 per telephone number, I enter for myself with my home number and my mobile number, and my husband enters with his mobile number, and my daughter and her fiancee (who live with us) enter with their mobile numbers as well. The trouble is we all use the same computer, i.e. so same IP address.

Can I ask you, in your personal opinion, do you think we get disqualified because of this?

I would appreciate any comments! Thank you.

The ITV ones are 3/6 per telephone number so you'll be fine

Varies but probably between 50 -100 per day regular, about 30 dailies, (if I have time) and then tweets which I don't count. But seems even that is not good enough recently - I've been comping 2 and a half years and had really good wins every month until a few months ago..then it slowed right down! I've won a small bunch of mini prizes but nothing to write home about for several MONTHS now...when you're working hard at it, it's really tough to continue to be honest. But keep plugging away I guess....
