Bauer Question

Hi
A few weeks ago I won an ipad pro from an on air competition on Absolute Radio. As this was over £500 I know this makes me ineligible to enter bauer media competitions (ironically I won tickets to a kids theme park the week after which I turned down). Does anyone know if this ineligibility also extent to the magazines, such as take a break etc?

    I read it as once you'e won a prize over £500 you can't enter another, regardless of the value. In fact the prize I won the week after I won the ipad was only worth about £60 and they said I couldn't claim it

    Sounds like you were mis-informed

    https://www.bauerlegal.co.uk/competition-general-terms-and-conditions-20190304

    4.11  Prize Limits 

    The prize is as specified in the Specific Terms. Unless otherwise stated in the Specific Terms, each entrant is limited to winning one prize per Competition. There is no limit on the value of a single prize that may be provided to the individual winners of a Competition. However, no person or persons at the same residential address may win more than one prize valued at £500 or more via any of our Competitions in any given six (6) month period. 

    If a previous winner (of a prize valued at £500 or more in the last six months) is drawn at random in a subsequent Competition, or subsequent round of the same Competition within six months then they will be disqualified, and another entrant will be drawn. If it emerges after a winner has been awarded a prize that they are a previous winner of a prize valued at £500 or more in the last six months, in breach of these terms and conditions, they will be excluded and the prize shall not be paid or delivered to them. If the prize has already been paid or delivered, this must be returned immediately upon request. For clarity, it is possible to be drawn more than once to play a Competition and if an entrant has not previously won a prize valued at £500 or more in the last six months, they are eligible to play the same Competition again. 

    All prizes are subject to availability and to us successfully contacting the winner and confirming eligibility and compliance with both the General Terms and Specific Terms.

    So I see...thank you
    I'm not 100% sure I could have used the second prize so not a great loss but good to know I can still enter plenty of their, particularly magazine, comps
