Click to win - a quicker way

I'm interested in the Python script. Is this something that is available online or something that you have created?

I found a tutorial on YouTube (search "Python Programming Tutorial - 25 - How to Build a Web Crawler"). The scripts I wrote are very nuanced and crude (they were the first Python scripts I wrote) but they get the job done.

yup way over my head but thank you anyway SpaceyKevin

Editied to take it all back. You are a genius Kevin, that worked. I need to slow the breaks down for my computer but even I can manage that. Thank you so much!

The only problem with opening loads of c2w tabs and enteringing them all at the same time is not all of the entries are always submitted. I used to do it this way until I reaised about 25% or my entries were not registered. This may just be a problem with my slow old computer but you may want to check that your entries are all going through OK. I still open loads of tabs but I make sure all the pages are loaded and entries are confirmed before I move on to the next.

The same thing happened to me. A few months ago, I used to be able to submit a few entries every second but they must've changed something on their end. I had to increase the delay between entries so that they even register most of my submissions.

I enter these a lot, has anyone won anything from the click to wins, my clicking finger is exhausted after months of entering these, without any wins - not even a DVD #needingmondaymotivation

I have had about 5 or 6 wins from c2ws, but I stopped doing them in the summer and have only recently gone back to them. I used to do all the sites every day so it was pretty dull and time consuming, but I was getting approx 1 win a month.

Yup! I won two food hampers, a 32" LG TV, a £50 Gift Voucher for Sportsbikeshop, a bluetooth speaker, and some other knick-knacks.

I haven't won for a while -at least 4-5 months. In fact, I don't hear of many people on here winning much either now. I don't know whether it's because they have done away with all the captchas (It may be an unpopular suggestion - but I think they ought to bring them back for the likes of TAB, etc). But the pages do seem a bit glitchy just lately, like they are doing something with them. There has been nothing more annoying recently than doing the ones with 10+ pages and you get going and the stupid thing resets itself and takes you back to the first page.
Thanks to Womble for starting this thread, I might have a look at what they are suggesting.

The script I use is heavily tailored to my browser set up (folder location, screen size, etc.) but I can whip up something general.

; ; ; ; ;
^!r::Reload ; Reloads the Autohotkey script

!c:: ; Alt + C activates the macro
loop ; Loop begins
{
click ; Sends a mouse click
send ^{tab} ; Moves onto the next tab
sleep 1500 ; Waits 1.5 seconds
ifwinactive, New Tab ; Checks if the "New Tab" tab is currently active
break ; Stops the loop if the "New Tab" tab is active
}
return
; ; ; ; ;

This script requires several things to work properly.
Open a new browser window and you should have a "New Tab" active.
Open several C2W pages from the same site in new tabs to the right of the "New Tab".
Go to the first C2W tab and hover your mouse over the "Enter This Competition" button.
If the competition title fits on one line, hover your mouse over the lower half of the button. If the competition title is spread over two lines, hover your mouse over the upper half of the button.

i.imgur.com/YNhyD7X.png should make this clearer.

Press Alt + C and the macro should run. It will click the "Enter This Competition" button, move onto the next tab, wait 1.5 seconds and checks if the tab is the "New Tab" tab (i.e., reached the end of the tab list). If the "New Tab" tab is active, the macro terminates; otherwise, the process repeats.

If something goes wrong and you want to force the script to stop, press Ctrl + Alt + R to reload Autohotkey.

I have tried to do this, i copied and pasted the text, went to click to wins, nothing happened, then all my programs and control panel opened, then started deleting programs and all sorts :eek:

I don't know what i did, i thought i'd broken my laptop, i had to power off and deleted the programme in safe mode, lol

What a nightmare

If anyone has the time to explain how to do it in simple steps, i would be most grateful

Thanks
