Facebook email question

Does anyone know if it makes any difference if you use an email address that is different from your facebook email when filling in form for competitions?
Might just be a dumb question, but just wondered if they might conflict.

    i'm curious about this too. My facebook account is linked to another email address. I've not won any competitions on facebook or through sites that require facebook likes/comments so I can't say for sure.
  • I'm confused about this too, because my Facebook name is the other way around to my real name (real name is K S surname, on Facebook its S K surname) because everyone knows me by my middle name. I always wonder because a lot of companies require photo ID if you win a comp and I always wonder if I would be disqualified :/

    So I wonder if those forms are checked against your Facebook page or not.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)
  • I won something on Face book yesterday and I always use a different email on my entry to the one I log in with, and not always the same one at that.

    That's reassuring to know, and congratulations on the win!!!
