    Well that's not fair, I have had captchas on almost every competition on the majority of sites for months!!! How do I get rid of them?! :(

    Indeed, the captchas should be there for everyone and not just for you :eek:. Bring em back I say, that'll kill the bots stone dead.

    Have just counted up, I get captchas for most competitions on 72 out of the 100ish sites! It's been like this for months :(

    Does everyone here not get them? Or are there others, like me, still getting them?

    I don't get any on Bella. The 72 sites I get them on are mostly the radio sites.

    I exchanged e-mails with them some months ago and their replies included

    "We are running captcha on all of our sites"

    clearly they were not and when pressed

    "The tech team have looked into this and they are aware that some sites have a break of captcha on them but are continuously working on this issue."

    Clearly they gave up on them, but they do seem to be creeping back albeit on a tiny scale. I bet they are sick of wading through the winners that are bots that don't claim prizes and having to keep re-drawing. That would explain why some of my wins are for prizes that ended months ago.

    I just did northsound2, entered all 49 as it flicks through (most of them will be be set free if I win them -carpet purse?) and no cap.

    Try Radio Aire 2, I am sure that one threw up a couple on the very last two or three on that site, you do need to enter them all to get them. When I do them tomorrow morning I will try and make a note of which sites have them come up.

    Thanks, have just copied you and done the exact same and got a captcha on every single one! :(

    I agree, bring them back. I know that it was a bit of a pain typing them in, but at least everybody got a fair chance at winning. Not had a sniff since they stopped them.

    Just had a go, had one on the first one but I had to enter my e-mail as well because it's been so long since I did them, then sped through and entered the lot with no more (still don't want a "carpet purse")
