    All for less than £2.30 a day, that's over £800 a year! And I notice that one of the satisfied customers is Sara's twin and the testimonial is exactly the same as another chap's.

    Didn't know this existed. It must reduce our chances of winning a lot!

    Often the T&C's don't allow it and things like captchas, solvemedia puzzles, ip checking etc are there to prevent a lot of the automated systems from entering or detecting and disqualifying them if they do.

    I know a while ago at least one of them was trying to put in over 20,000 entries at a time, I don't know what the numbers are now.

    Supposedly they are entering for you manually.

    Every competition that we enter you in for is done manually. A lot of companies use systems but from speaking to businesses, we know that they remove automated entries to make the system fair.
    But those would still count as third party entries which are usually against the rules.
