How do you enter

Hello everyone.

I hope you are all having a lucky day!

I was just wondering how you all enter your comps? for example do you just manually type them all out?

I've heard a few of you mention roboform ...what exactly is that? Does it make it quicker?

I'd say I enter about 30 comps a day + maximum entries to each of the ITV comps (mob + landline).

I do use google chrome, but is it worth me using some kind of roboform? Does this disqualify you from some comps?
2012 wins = £933 :j
2013 wins so far = £4,025 :j

July wins: Holiday to Marbella :j

    Roboform is simply a form filler and will not disqualfy you from any comps you enter. It,s invaluable and will save you loads of time and effort. I,ll see if I can find you a link and post it in a bit. Here you are...

    Have a read of VelvetGlove,s comping guide here...

    ...theres lots of info and tips in it.

    Edit. I,ve just read that Roboform might not work with Google Chrome. Have a look at this thread here for more info

    Chrome doesn't even need Roboform does it. As soon as I type the first letter of my name into one of the competition boxes it fills the whole form in for me.

    Yeah includes autofill (though I think most modern browsers do)

    As others have said, it makes life a lot easier with Roboform or Autofill Happy comping OP!

    I'd recommend Roboform and I'd recommend the full version not just the freebie trial version.

    You press a button and it fills in all the details you need, I save a passcard for each site and then it knows which tick boxes to tick etc. and I also save all my log in so no need to remember passwords.

    Most comps all I have to do is click the Roboform button, select or c+p in the answer and hit submit - very quick.

    Some comps I don't even have to do that i.e The Detour as I just click the special 'Fill & Submit' Roboform button!

    I love Roboform!
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20

    I've never used Roboform as I used Lastpass before I started comping.
    Lastpass keeps your passwords secure and you can set up form fillers.

    Thanks guys - I'll defo look into that then.

    I certainly wouldnt say entering is a chore- but as I work full time and have 2 little kids I could do with a few more hours in the day to enter more.

    I always wondered how some people manage to enter 300 a day - 30 takes me hours ;)
