    If I enter this Pay Your Bills or the Cash Register Scotland comps I get an automatic free entry into the Bonus £100,000 draw in February.

    In the Ts&Cs for the Bonus Comp it states that only one online entry is allowed - 

    "You can enter the Competition a maximum of 20 times via SMS (excluding free entries) and a maximum of once online. Entrants must obtain permission from the bill payer before texting to enter the Competition."

    I wonder if I have already entered the Pay Your Bills comp or the Cash Register Scotland Comp that that counts as the single free entry into the Bonus comp and therefore I shouldn't do more than one of these entry routes.

    If I did Pay Your Bills and Cash Register Scotland and the Bonus free online entries I would have 3 Bonus entries which may disqualify me from the Bonus draw.

    In the Pay your Bills Ts&Cs it states:

    "All Entrants, irrespective of the Entry Period they enter, or their route of entry, will receive one (1) entry, automatically, into our “£100,000 Payday” draw (https://www.planetradio.co.uk/magic//competitions/win/100k-payday/) which will run from Monday 3rd January 2022 to Friday 4th February 2022. Entrants do not need to enter again to be eligible for the £100,000 Payday draw but are able to do so if they would like to increase their chances in accordance with the terms and conditions of the “£100,000 Payday” draw and subject to the entry caps contained therein. Full T&Cs for the £100,000 Payday are available at https://www.planetradio.co.uk/magic//competitions/win/100k-payday/. For clarity, Entrants will receive one (1) entry into our “£100,000 Payday” draw, irrespective of how many times they enter the Competition. "

    Am I just reading the Ts&Cs wrong?

    Since these sites usually tell you when you have exceeded the allowed number of entries, and since I have entered all of them without such notification, I am assuming that the "Entrants will receive one (1) entry into our “£100,000 Payday” draw, irrespective of how many times they enter the Competition" rule applies and I have not been in breach of the rules.

    Evening everyone, please may I ask a quick question......

    The free online entry, can we enter via that route once per week, or only once for the whole competition period

    The T&Cs state

    You can enter each Draw a maximum of 20 times via SMS (excluding free entries) and a maximum of once online. Entrants must obtain permission from the bill payer before texting to enter the Competition. 

    I'm understanding that to mean I can enter once a week online.  I suspect I'll be told I'm overthinking it, but I'm new to the Radio Comps and I didn't want to disqualify myself, so thought I'd ask.

    Also assuming I can enter the Cash Register once a week too using the free online route.

    TIA for any help/clarification
    2024 £72, 2023 £2230, 2022 £300, 2021 £1800, 2015 £3790, 2014 £4460
  • And you can't disqualify yourself
