I think a lot of sites will check your IP address, so you do risk being disqualified completely from a competition.
To be honest though I'd only ever use one e-mail address anyway, people are good enough to take their time and post on MSE with these competitions, to create multiple e-mails accounts and give yourself more chances than everyone else doesn't seem like a particularly fair or nice thing to do.

Some comps (ITV ones included) specify a number of entries per telephone number. Otherwise, I think the T&C are what to go by. If they say one entry per person, per household or whatever then you are risking being disqualified if you don't stick to this. And I'm sure you wouldn't want to cheat anyway. Having said that, if the T&C either specify multiple entries/entry methods, then it's simply a personal choice. The tricky part is when the T&C don't say anything about this. For that, I would also say it's a personal choice.
I very rarely use more than one email/phone number or whatever. Occasionally for ITV comps perhaps, but mostly I don't even do that. I spend too much time doing comps as it is, so I don't want to add to that.I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be

I make no apology
