Heads up, compers! In order to investigate a technical issue, we've had to move some of the older threads from Game Over into a new category called 'Game Over Archives'. It'll be comps from before 2017, so shouldn't have too much impact on your day-to-day Forum experience. Thanks for your patience!
How was your comping year?

How has everyone done for wins this year? I've just been looking over my list and it's looking somewhat pathetic! I had one decent win (£2k from Take A Break puzzles, which put me into Bauer prison till February and exempted me from all the huge radio comps these past few weeks!!!) but not much besides.
My entire year looks like this:
3 x bottles of CBD oil (mag daily)
A "spa night in" gift which was in reality some bubble bath, chocolate and body oil (mag daily)
£2000 from TaB
Final Fantasy XIV download code
£50 Tesco gift card
And a few 80p / £1.30 wins from Topcashback games
And that's it! Slim pickings on the whole, although the £2k did come in handy at the time. Gone are the days when I'd have 5-10 wins per month!
