Magazine competitions

Hi, I used to enter all the magazine prize draws every day and had a fair bit of success, after a while my partner also began entering as he saw I won a few things. At this point, I never won again and I realised that maybe the organisers thought it was fraud as the same address. So he stopped entering completely and i used a new email and started again. It has now been 3 years of my entering every day and still not won anything since those early days. Is it pointless to carry on? Is there something else blocking me winning? Like geographical location or device? I used to really enjoy it but if my entries are being blocked now, is there any point? Just wondered if anyone had any insight as to what it could be.
Thank you

  • I do enter these every day because I have quite a good win rate on them.  I've won three this year and won two last year.  In previous years I did win more, but there are more people than ever entering competitions these days.  I guess it's just the luck of the draw.  I've been entering these since 2011 and would estimate that I've won about 30 times with various magazines.  Don't give up, you never know, your next win could be just around the corner!!

    I only enter them once, not daily and I've won 3 mag comps this year so I would say don't give up!
