Is it worth creating a new Facebook account for comping?

I've been toying with the idea of creating a Facebook account purely for competitions although I recently read that they can delete and block your accounts...Has this happened to anyone on here? Or are there ways around it?
I don't want to post on my personal one as I feel it would be so much spam to friends and family.

    FB rules only allow one account - they can close your accounts if they find out you have more than 1 - if you win you will possibly come under the scrutiny of people who like to sift through winners to see if they are genuine/have multiple accounts/connected to the promoter etc

    NO, NO and NO, Its not worth it. Stick to one account. If you win something and people find out you have two accounts you will be called out and trust me there are people that will hunt you down. Plus i have trouble running one account lol.

    Fair enough, have already decided against it after hearing some horror stories!

    Nope.
    FB comping just isn’t worth the time when you can win lots more on other platforms
