Click to Wins

Options
Has anyone won a prize on the click to Wins without entering every day?

I spent over a year going through EVERY click to win site, every day, entering the prizes that I wanted to win and not won anything.

Got so fed up with them as they were far too time consuming and it got so disheartening spending all that time on them and not winning anything so I stopped doing them about a month ago.

Today I've just gone through a few of the main ones, Bella, Take A Break, Win Something, etc

Just wondering if theres any point in me doing this or if the odds are stacked against me!

    I have seen them where over 3,500 entries per person were possible for just one prize - if there are only 1,000 determined people who do the lot that's over 3.5 million entries without considering what I suspect is the vast majority who probably enter through just some of the sites.

    That's life, TV Choice, Bella and TAB between them shift almost 2.5 Million magazines a week, if just 1% enter the click to wins that's 25,000 people doing them plus there are all the other entry routes as well.

    So the odds are stacked against you as they are with every competition you enter but if you don't enter you cannot win and it only takes one entry to be in with a chance.

    (Since they added the last 20 or so sites I rarely do them but have won with single figure entries)

    I've had two wins from CTW where I haven't entered every day, so I think it is worth having a go when you have time - you never know:)

    I won four prizes from them in a year, again, not entering every day. I think the odds will probably be steeper as long as they are captcha free, because people can whizz through them quicker. I'm also wondering if pay-for-wins companies and people with automated programs will have latched onto them now.

    The odds just work out funny sometimes. I know someone who won three times on the Biscuiteers Gingerbread man daily comp. I've entered almost daily since it opened - nothing!
  • Thanks for the info everyone! Think I just needed a bit of inspiration! Going to go through them, only when I have a bit of spare time. I know the odds will be stacked against me but as people have said...you've gotta be in it to win it :)

    Good luck to everyone! xx

    I've stopped doing them, just not enough time- especially with captchas to fill in...

    I only do these occasionally, and I've just had my first win on them - an iPad :) I've started saving the links to a few of them to do daily. With the others I want to enter, I will still do them just occasionally.

    Ive won three prizes with them this year and I never do them daily. First two prizes I know I only entered once.
    As previously said with no captchas more people entering. I just do a few of what I would like if I have time.
