Blogger competitions - is it worth it

Basically these two.
KirstieLouiseS suggested "compers will disqualified", someone then told her that she wouldn't be allowed to do that legally, to which LBQ replied "Just delete them on the sly".

Which makes me assume they just give the prizes to their friends anyway.

Thanks. I'll be deleting them across the board, fb, tw, pin, bloglovin, google, youtube, ig - and anywhere else I can think of. Timewasters.

If comping fairy is reading - might be an idea to tweet their conversation and tag some of their prize sponsors. I'm not gutsy enough lol.

Me too - no point wasting my time entering their blog comps if they are just going to disregard my entries just because I enter comps as a hobby!

The first one is entitled to put in the T&Cs that they will disqualify compers and it is preferable to the behaviour of the second one that lets people waste their time entering for the entries just to be disregarded.

Are they? - then they could just discount anyone that had entered more than one competition on the basis that they were a 'comper'.

What I dislike immensely about all of this kerfuffle is compers are being labelled as grabbing gits, but surely they beg companies for freebies to review? so how are they any better? We are all freebie hunters in different ways.

They are too wrapped up in their own self importance.

If that's where they want to set the bar they can do that - the national lottery set it at 50% competition tweets but reserved the right to do as they liked

The Promoter will have ultimate and final say on who fits those criteria, but as a rule, anyone with over 50% of their Twitter communications as entries into competitions may face disqualification. The Promoter's decision is final.”
