Are these comp sites genuine or a waste of time ?

Myoffers.co.uk and Getmeaticket..co.uk

Found these sites and been entering comps on them but have a feeling they might be a waste of time , anyone know if they are genuine ? or has anyone had a win on them ?

Thanks.

    General view on here is that they are spammy & a waste of time.

    They are usually not posted on here.Just stick with the posted comps on here.That way you can keep track of what you've entered as well :-)

    11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
    There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

    Thanks, I have registered with familyclub and one of their comp pages took me to topfox competitions and I thought I would check here before going ahead with registering.

    I will avoid.
