    "8 hours, to make 500 calls, if you take no breaks whatsoever. Let's be specific. If the Bauer free entries are simply being removed, it is a massive problem for a number of reasons. How much do you get paid for 8 hours of work? For a full day's work?"

    I hope my Arithmetic is correct.

    If it takes 8 hours to make 500 calls then it takes about 4 hours to make 250 calls.

    So for tomorrow's draw, 20th May where the prize is £400,000 then you earn £1600 per call and £100,000 per hour.

    Not bad going but only if you win of course.

    It looks like it, when I checked the Make Me A Winner website yesterday, the new competition for £750,000 ends at 5pm on 29/05 - https://makemeawinner.co.uk

    It’s been replaced with one that you can 100 entries but not limited to an amount a day.
    Comping Rich has very kindly started this very informative thread

    It's also worth noting that as far as I'm aware there is no way for anyone to tell if someone has used commas to make inputs on a call rather than manually pressing the button themselves - this is just unnecessary fearmongering to either waste people's time or extract more money from them. Very predatory and I imagine this whole 'automatic call scandal' was caused by some minimum wage intern speaking out of context - I'm certain that what they were referring to was automated bot farms entering the competition en masse - this is definitely detectable and Bauer would be justified in banning these entries.
