Going on holiday, Can i enter comps from India??

lukgs7

Hello,
I am going on holiday to India for a month. Can i enter competitions from there? Will the IP be a issue? will my entries be disqualified?? don't want to miss out comping during the trip.

Help please!!!:(

I was visiting relatives for 2 weeks in the states, some sites blocked based on geolocation, most didn't. (In my defense, it was a holiday of every day going and going and going like the energizer bunny, comping was a nice relaxation break)

You can only try. If the end dates aren't until after you return, perhaps mark all the interesting ones and do them when you get home.

Thanks for the info jeddentad
I am concerned about the ITV real deal comps where the end dates are very shot in time.
I am concerned about comp organizers checking the IP and disqualifying the entry as it is from outside UK.

When I tried to comp from India i had issues with sites blocking me. I think they thought I was a spammer.

You can try.
You might want to consider what holiday means, though. And whether time spent at a computer is worth time not spent paying attention to India.
(Me, I've never been, I've a large noisy family & any attempt I might make to slope off with tech would result in tech being impounded by a self-righteous child.)
Whatever you do, have a wonderful time!

How can i do that?
I searched online for IP swaps, but most of them didn't work.

I have just got back from India, and I was able to enter comps from there. I didn't experience any blocks on any sites, and on my last day, I received a WEM. Good luck!
