The daily magazine click to wins...

Options
Hi everyone ,I'm back to comping after a couple of years off...I'm starting with just the Dailies...

But the magazine click to win comps don't have a capcha or anything so I wondered are they worth doing or do spam bots just win all those??

Thanks in advance for any insight x

    I think best thing to do is enter everything else (or make sure you've entered the comps that are ending if you work that way) then after if you have time do click2wins as you deffo have less chance of winning on them there's thousands and thousands of entries
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    It's not unusual for there to be the potential for 1,000 to 3,000 plus entries per e-mail address for each competition, if just 1,000 people enter every one that's between 1 and 3 million entries - if a "pay to enter" site does it that would add between 20 to 60 million entries.
    Some can be entered 10,000 times per email address which could mean 200,000,000 entries from "pay to enter", then 10,000,000 from a 1,000 determined people to say nothing of all the entries from "dabblers"


    From a 2015 post
    That's life, TV Choice, Bella and TAB between them shift almost 2.5 Million magazines a week, if just 1% enter the click to wins that's 25,000 people doing them plus there are all the other entry routes as well.

    So the odds are stacked against you as they are with every competition you enter but if you don't enter you cannot win and it only takes one entry to be in with a chance.


    Your chances are much better with the mag dailies which have far fewer entry routes and are more difficult for automated systems to enter.
