Addicted!!!

butters86

So I normally log onto the forums to read about mortgages and other finance related posts. I came across the competition board last week and since then I have been entering all sorts of competitions - Even for things I don’t even need!!

I'm a 28 year old male yet still enter for perfume's and beauty products!!!!

Couple of questions - What are the rafflecopter competitions, are they the same as normal prize draws, except you don’t need to answer a question??

Best of luck to you all and here's hoping my first win is just around the corner!

Tell you what - people may start entering for everything and everything, but once they win something they don't want, they don't do it again lol

Someone on the board won a holiday (yesterday, I think) and hadn't read the terms and they can't go. Really, unless it's something you plan to sell or give as a present (and it's something that's not completely inappropriate to enter like a parents'/baby stuff competition), you won't want your 'win' to be for something you don't want.

It can be very addictive Good luck!

LOL when they realise they have to put in 3 hours a day to probably win a packet of crisps once a month, they'll give up

In the sellers' defence, I don't have a prob with people winning then selling. It is a moneysaving site. I was always very anti-selling until someone pointed that fact out, and someone else said they were trying to make pennies where they could. As I said above, I would have an issue with someone entering let alone winning say a pram when they don't have babies and flogging it. Certain comps are aimed at certain people which is fair enough. Most however are pretty vague/neutral and it wouldn't really matter if someone won then sold.

I only started a few weeks ago too, a friend pointed out a competition I should enter on here and I got hooked from that! I haven't entered for anything I haven't wanted though, and I'm not sure if I've put in enough time to actually win anything yet. Since I was always lurking looking at the competition threads, I thought it was time to make an account here.

From the Rafflecopter competitions I've entered, I'm pretty sure they're just the same as normal comps! I try to stick to Social comps though, I'm always a bit nervous about giving out my phone number and address straight away with some of the others.

You usually have to follow the people running the competition on twitter, maybe re-tweet a message and/or like them on facebook etc. Sometimes they allow you to enter daily.
