  • I have won a couple of things through Rafflecopter :)
    When presented with a Rafflecopter form, you can login via Facebook or with your name and email and then you just complete as many tasks in the RC form as you wish.
  • is definitely worth entering - although there are so many of them you need to be choosy, all you need to d is click the box & follow the instructions - usually it is a comment followed by liking on facebook & following on twitter & what ever other social networks the blogger is on. You can often tweet daily - although this doesn't always get them onto the dailies board so they need to be added if not already there

    i dont enter very many rafflecopter comps as i feel you have to do way too much with very little chance of winning, i mean you comment,follow etc so maybe upto 8 things say and there usually is only one or two prizes! in the meantime they get 100`s of new followers. i realise every comp you enter your up against probably 1000`s of entries but i dont know rafflecopter just seems to bug me a bit lol! psychologically it probably has`nt helped that ive never won on any i did enter too. good luck tho all the same! :-)

    I agree - some rafflecopters require you to do loads - and maybe for just a dvd up for grabs - so they are not worth the time and hassle.
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I tend to work out how much I want the prize v the amount of effort - a blog comment + a couple of likes/follows plus a tweet doesn't take that long - nor does a daily tweet .. but there are some who want you to jump through hoops for a bag of crisps

  • I find Rafflecopter really quick to enter especially if I enter comps on the same blog etc as I've already done half the things they ask as part of their previous comp
  • How do you know if you've won? Does Rafflecopter automatically send an email to the lucky winner?
    And where/how do you search for Rafflecopter giveaways?
    Thanks!

    Majority of times, it will say in the terms and conditions (at the bottom of the RC form) how the winner will be contacted.

    It's usually via email or it might be that you have to check the blog after the closing date and there will be a blog post naming the winner and telling you to contact them to claim your prize. I have been informed both ways in the past.

    I've received emails and DMs on twitter from Rafflecopter wins - it all depends on what way you enter - if they ask for a tweet and your tweet is the entry that wins, you'll be contacted through twitter, if they ask you to subscribe via email and your entry that way wins, you'll get an email. I do tend to keep them bookmarked for a few days until the winner is put on it so I know I haven't missed a win :)
    Thanks to all posters :A
