    Well I've only gone and won £1000 vouchers with Global today so that counts me out of BOTH Global and Bauer Media for 6 months!!

    At least your daughter didn't go and get a job with Bauer Media - that counts me out of a LOT of comps!!! :mad::rotfl:
  • I am a bit confused by this I won a heart comp back in june for over £500 but was never told I couldn't enter with them for six months or is it just assumed I know?

    Global (Heart) tell you, but if you have just won one prize and it was less than £1,000 you would not be considered for a ban unless you win another (of any value) within 6 months of the first

    So that we can ensure the fairness of our competitions, we reserve the right to prevent you, at our absolute discretion, from entering any of our Competitions for a period of six months if you have either (i) won a Prize valued at £1,000 or greater or (ii) won more than one Prize during the previous six months. If we choose to exercise this right we will notify you in writing.
  • my prize was valued at over £1000, did not know that so need to wait a few months before entering anymore :(

    I won £2k last week with Bauer. They have not told me that I can't win any more comps over £500 but I am not entering them as I know it is their t&cs. I have never been happier to be banned from a site :)
    2017 wins = £1350
    2016 wins = £125 (18 months off comps)
    2015 wins = £6,460
    2014 wins = £1,350

    I won a grand through Global and they never told me I couldn't enter/win others, although it's on their T&Cs so I was aware. I enter in my OH's name (oops, I mean my OH now enters all their comps :p) and hope there's no rule re same household and it applies to just the person who won. Still not sure as didn't notice it on their T&Cs.

    2024 wins: *must start comping again!*
  • Last Year I won my concert tickets plus £500 and a second comp of £2,500 all in the same month from Bauer media.

    Global tell you in writing if you are excluded, it is not automatic since they changed the rules earlier this year.
    Before the rules changed the exclusion was automatic and applied to the whole household/address, presumably if it does now the letter will say so.

    Bauer Media is automatic and covers the address "No person or persons at the same residential address"

    Did you have any trouble with that Glamourpuss?


    I think I may have won a prize from Bauer Media worth over £500 but I'm not completely sure as the value wasn't stated, I have just gone on googling what I won. Is there any way to find out off of them?
