    I think of late, with all the publicity of comping, there are a lot of people who think they can make a living from it, they will soon see this is not going to happen and go away soon :). and things will get better, I've had it ok this year, but I have won far more on the Bingo than from comps Lol. but I love doing comps, and will keep on doing them. I do enters 100s a day. and i still get that feeling with some comps that I have this one, when i enter the big ones :). so that keeps me going :) but also love the small wins too.
    2013 -£1550 / £2013 :)
    2014 -£1955.95 / £2014
    2015 - £1600 / £2015

    I see a lot of these threads and honestly can't believe how much most people have won. Most replies are along the lines of 'I haven't won for a few months but usually win xxx a month etc'. Or 'I'm having a dry spell etc'.

    Seriously. I've been coming since December 2013 and haven't won a single solitary thing. Closest I got was a WEM accidentally sent to me by mistake.

    I've no idea what trick I'm missing but I must be doing something wrong.

    I think everyone is winning a lot less these days compared to a few years ago or even last year, simply because there's so many more people entering every competition now.
    For example 2 years ago, I won something decent every month (eg. £100 voucher, ipad, beauty bundle etc) last year the wins were still regular but much smaller eg. £20 voucher, a mascara etc, but this past year I've had quite a few totally dry months, a few tiny wins of like £1 worth of Clubcard points etc. This week I had a WEM for an £80 voucher and was absolutely over the moon, as it was my biggest win in a good 12 months. It's coming to something when £80 is your best win in a whole year! But I think lots of us here would report the same sort of pattern.

    Yes, I would! I had a decent prize in January and a few promotional bits, like a pen and an ice scraper, then nothing until a few weeks ago when I had a WEM for some make up bags (not received yet). Last year and the year before were far better and I entered about the same amount.
  • I started a few days before New Year & haven't won a thing :( am I doing something wrong? Check my emails daily. Do I need to return to sites all the time too?
  • I'm not moaning at all & reading all of ur posts seems everyone is the same. Have read all of the new compers posts but just wanted others opinions. Thanks.
