1) It didn't take so much time

2) It didn't seem like one action at first, but then turn out to be lots of actions

3) The prizes weren't so small for the amount of actions required to stand a fair chance of winning

4) It didn't feel like it was just a way to help promote someone else




Any more? Have at it… ;):beer:

    Reasons I love rafflecopter.

    1. More effort + less people enter = better chance of winning

    2. Prizes may be small sometimes but very often useful for the family.

    3. I enjoy reading blogs

    4. Most of the wins I receive are rafflecopter these days.

    My main gripe is that there should be a way to search all Rafflecopters easily for a win as not all of the blogs will email you about a win and sometimes give you very short windows to claim meaning I don't trust that i'll find a win in time.


    With you being logged in to Rafflecopter - it has to be easy for them to add a function where you can log in and check for wins or be auto-emailed via their software. Surely...

    I wouldn't mind them so much if they all had links to what they wanted us to follow, etc. Half the time it asks you to follow them on pinterest with a link to their youtube (for example)
    Started comping Feb 2015 - Wins to date:
    2015 - Celebrity Slim bundle - Stabilo Pens - Family SeaLife Pass - £50 Lidl voucher - Book - Family Geronimo ticket - FYEO photo shoot - £25 cash

    Exactly - and when they do have the correct link, it's not hyperlinked, so you have to copy the link, open a new tab, paste the link etc etc :mad:
  • I never enter rafflecopter, I find them really confusing and have given up completely on them
