Baby Swap or Shop Competitions UPDATE

One-Eye

Has anybody noticed this and wondered, or does anybody know what the situation is with Baby Swap Or Shop (BSOS) and “third party” competitions?

Eg 1. Win a Bumbo Floor Seat

On BSOS the comp states “This competition is hosted by Babyworld”

Both are posted on MSE: BSOS and Babyworld

Eg 2. Win a Stylish Samsung Baby Monitor

On BSOS the comp states “This competition is hosted by The Baby Website”

Both are posted on MSE: BSOS and Baby Website

Do BSOS just pass “bulk entries” to the other site – and does this mean we are making two entries?
Is this acceptable or does it mean disqualification?

In response to a query, BSOS have said

It is the same competition - your entries will count as one entry

It's a waste of time if you are sure to enter through the other sites, but importantly you will NOT be disqualified. As BSOS comps are very quick to enter it will not waste a lot of time, and note that some BSOS comps are run on their own behalf - only the ones hosted on third party sites are affected by this.
