Global Radio comps - one entry per IP address

priorslee

I think Global Radio may have updated their competition T&Cs at some point over the past few months and made a few changes. I don't remember seeing the following in their eligibility conditions before:

No multiple, bulk, automated, machine assisted, third party, syndicate or other group entries will be accepted. We shall disqualify any entries which, in our reasonable opinion, appear to have used any of these entry methods including multiple entries from the same IP address or telephone number, unless the Specific Rules state that multiple entries are permitted.

For many Heart, Capital & Smooth comps you have to login anyway, so in theory two people from the same household could enter as per the first point in their terms:

In order to make a valid entry into a Competition you must enter as an individual using your legal name and make only one entry per Competition, unless the Specific Rules allow you to make multiple entries. You may only enter a competition if you are a resident of the United Kingdom or Isle of Man.

BUT, if two people enter using the same device (eg from same PC) or from 2 devices connected to the same wifi router they could be disqualified.

There is one bit of better news in their terms - the limit when they say that winners and their families can't enter comps for 6 months after a big win has been increased from £500 to £1000.

I found the same terms on LBC & XFM comps. I haven't checked the other brands yet, but I'm guessing they will say the same (Heart, Capital, Smooth, Classic, Gold).

The IP address bit was posted on this Capital Extra one in May, Classic have it as well so presumably it is group wide.

Thanks priorslee :T

I hadn't spotted this update so the DH has been entering some of the same Global comps as I have on his own pc

Ah well - good news about the win limit being upped to £1000 within a 6 month period!
