Click to win question

I only ever enter a handful of click to win competitions, including one or two I have bookmarked on Yours magazine. Yesterday and again today, Yours magazine is showing I have entered all the competitions on their site, even though I know I haven't. Anyone else getting the same thing? I don't know if it is the same on any of the other sites.

    I just checked Yours and it's not giving me an "already entered" message ... but I didn't enter yesterday either, so this is probably no help :)

    If you have a minute, would you try entering just one on there and see if it shows lots already entered.

    Thanks.

    Yup, I went through and entered all the good ones while I was in there.

    Problem is, I've not entered much on Yours, I generally start at the top of the list and work my way down, I don't usually get past "Performance Bikes" before I get bored or it resets for the next day, so I can't tell you whether it's maybe just not reset from yesterday.

    Thanks - I wonder if we will actually be entered in to them. Would be typical for me to win something that I would never have chosen to enter and have absolutely no use for. :rotfl:

    I haven't entered any C2Ws for a while (other than free postcode lottery). I thought I'd try one out on Yours, to see if I got the same issue. I got "You have already entered this drawing today. Please come back tomorrow!" so it isn't just you, Marg

    Maybe "cookie" issues, see what happens when you try entering more than one in Incognito (chrome) or Inprivate (edge)

    I just tried one in an incognito window on Chrome using an old email address and it looks like I have entered lots of them. Will try clearing cookies anyway.

    I just tried it again this morning and now I'm getting "You have already entered" ... even on stuff I know I would never have entered; like "Win a baby Annabel doll".
    This morning I tried it on the main PC, last night, when it seemed to work, I was using mobile. I'll test again on mobile, but the batteries dead and the charger is upstairs ... I'll get to it at some point :)

    Does the same thing in Incognito mode.
