Bit of a rant/moan...

Just checked out the Cadburys Icecream competition (it was a great prize!). It was a random name out of the hat draw so no skill involved but the rules were one entry per person.

Wanted to check out the winning post and so looked through and found two other entries from the same person:mad:

Messaged them and they said "If a participant enters multiple times, then only one entry will be counted" - thats good to know and I'm sure it was all done fairly but still feels as if an advantage was gained.....

I know it seems like sour grapes - I promise its not (I've had some lovely prizes in the past!) - i just want to feel like it is fair:)

With a random draw it's easy to exclude multiple entries - T&C's sometimes state if they will just disregard extra entries or disqualify them all.

Rules of Comp below. If they've entered more than once on either channel, I can see your point.

7. Participants may only enter the competition once on Facebook and Twitter. If a participant enters multiple times, then only one entry will be counted.
20. The Promoter reserves the right to verify any entrants and the winners before making any award. This includes, but is not limited to name, age and address. The Promoter may refuse to award a prize, or withdraw prize entitlement and refuse further participation in the promotion where there are reasonable grounds to believe there has been a breach of these terms and conditions or any instructions forming part of this promotions entry requirements, or otherwise where a participant has gained unfair advantage in participating in the promotion or won using fraudulent means.

The really annoying thing is Cadburys promoted it on Twitter with "Use the hashtag to tell us what your ultimate night in would be. The most creative post #wins"
Yet they still do a random draw.
