Change email address?

I've not won anything since January.. I enter hundreds of competitions every day. I'm just wondering if email addresses are blacklisted? I used to win quite a bit on Facebook but haven't for a while now. Does it flag up somehow if you're entering that many?

    I changed my email from Gmail to Vivaldi Mail in protest over how Google treated a former employee over his internal memo. Whilst I entered the same amount of competitions as I always do since, I have noticed no difference in the amount of wins since switching email provider.

    i've changed email a couple of times, it doesn't make a difference



    I think wins are just not as often now.. I know mine have really dropped but I still enter same amount. Gotta be in it to win it though. I am sure your luck will pick up soon :)
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    Apart from GDPR not allowing the sharing of your e-mail address without your consent in the first place, why would any reputable company care in the slightest how many competitions you enter or spend any time trying to find out?
