Does Entering a Competition Twice Deter Your Chances?

I accidentally entered a couple of Take a Break comps that i forgot i already entered a week ago or so. It didn't tell me i've already entered, but just wondering if this would get me disqualified?

    hi, here..

    T-A-B do not show that you have previously entered a competition (after you have exited your current session) and there is nothing that stops you from entering again. The terms state "we will accept only one entry per registered user. If more than one entry for the same issue is received, we will accept the first entry only". This means you will not be disqualified if you accidently enter a second time, and if you are unsure whether or not you have entered, or whether your entry has been accepted, it is OK to enter the comp to be certain.

    if you green tick the comps as you enter them it's quite difficult to forget you've entered them (though it doesn't help with dupes)

    Also while the Take a Break comps won't disqualify you, some comps will x
