Entering competitions again after a win?

Once you have won with a company, how long (if at all) do you leave it before you start entering their competitions again?
I know there are some big companies with time restrictions but i'm meaning more the smaller companies that run competitions quite regularly.
I feel a bit guilty if i win then enter the following weeks competition so i leave it a few weeks til my name has been forgotten, or is that just me

Not just you, I do it tooI won with a small company (think it might just be one person!) a few months ago and I still haven't started entering with them again yet!

I've actually emailed a couple of companies that I've won from to ask if they wanted me to stop entering for a while and they both replied saying, more or less, No No Go for it.
Are there rules about not entering for a few months if you win an ITV comp?0 -
Im a bit scared to enter a couple of comps where I have already won with them.
The surveys with Talk Health and Stylist. In regards to Stylist, I have just won on their advent so think it might be a waste of time to enter as what are the chances of me winning again.Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:0 -
I would say that unless stated otherwise just go for it.
I won twice with Play.com on Facebook last year (both pretty great prizes). Similarly I've won a couple of times from the same blogs, also magazine competitions ... none of them have ever been rude about me winning/entering.A closed mouth gathers no feet.0 -
I think unless it states in the rules that you should give it a certain amount of time before entering again then go for it. For one, what's the likelyhood of you being picked a second time, and if you do get picked lucky for you! lol I'm sure companies will try and make it as fair as possible aswel, so if someones won 3 times in a row they would probably make the call to pick another winner.
That's my thoughts anyway.0
