Click to win/Mag daily advice please?

Pinkzie

Just wondering if you think it's worth it to do these type of competitions even if you can only get a small amount of entries for each of the click to win/mag daily prizes that you are interested in.


I have read different threads about people entering once and winning and people entering loads and not winning and everything in between so I know it's different for everybody depending on luck and amount of entries.


I currently end date and don't have time to do all of the click to wins or mag dailies every single day so looking for some advice as to whether to concentrate on certain prizes and get lots of entries for them or use my time to spread out my entries over lots of prizes and have less entries for each prize.


Any help is appreciated

Another thing, I am sure I remember seeing somewhere that if you win a high value prize on the dailies that you cannot win another for a while, is this true? Thanks

Really you answer your own question with that, someone may have 3,000+ entries into a competition that ends up being won by someone who has entered just once.

You can maximise your chances by what you choose to enter but it is still down to random chance.

Bauer media which includes C2Ws, magazines and radio - if you (or anyone at the same address) wins a prize worth £500 or more you cannot win another of £500 or more for 6 months

Couple of threads re prize limits

I know, I was just wondering what people think would be the best way to manage my time based on their own experiences, I am leaning toward entering lots of different click to win competitions when I can spreading the entries rather than choosing a select few and gaining a lot of entries but just want to make the most of my time, I am aware it's random chance though

That's really helpful. Does that mean you can still win prizes valued below £500? Thanks for posting the links and information!

I would go for the scatter gun approach as well but you can refine it a bit - If you enter daily a few that are only listed on one or two sites you will have as much chance of winning those ones as anybody has - it's also well worth chucking a few entries at the ones with multiple prizes - if time is limited I would not bother much with the radio ones as they tend to have the most daily entry routes for each prize.

If you click on the official rules when you are looking at a prize it shows the entry routes, this one has about 30

Yes, there is no limit for below £500 wins

Although random winners - if you look at the lists of winners names, the same ones pop up time and time again - they are probably the ones who answer on every site every single day but kind of annoying all the same - makes it feel like the computer programme that picks winners isn't all that random!!

If people max out and get 3,000+ entries while others only enter 60 times you would expect to see them more often.
The lists can be a bit misleading as winners are shown on every site that a competition was run on not just on the site they won from, so with a lot of the radio competitions a name can be on 30 plus sites but if it's for the same competition they have only won once.
