Has anyone ever won anything from giftcards.iwcomps or iwon.iwcomps?

I only ask because it takes some time to enter the ones I fancy and I wonder if I'm wasting my time anyway! 
Why do mice have such small balls?
Because so few of them can dance.

    I don't know about MSErs but I have seen posts from winners over on the yellow duck site, so we know they are legit. 

    I won a few times with the old Bauer Click to Win sites.  These iWon ones are much harder to win though because it's 'only' up to 17 entries per prize each day, compared to the old C2Ws sometimes having 100+ daily entry routes. 

    The iWon sites don't tend to offer big value prizes, so I only bother with any gift card draws...or particularly enticing chocolate!



  • Yes I have twice over a number of years  but I don't see them posted on here much so I always forget to enter I find them a bit tedious but yes I have won. 
  • Thanks everyone!

    They are not individually posted on here (just like when they were Bauer) but all the sites are listed here

    Yes I've won in the past. 

    I focus on the gift card draws, too. I'm not entering each 17 times per day though - how do you get so many entries?

    The very old Bauer ones were well worth it with many prizes worth £500 upwards and far fewer entry routes (there was a prize worth £3,000 with 1 entry route and among many prizes I won was one worth £699 that had only 2 entry routes) then the prize values dropped and the entry routes multiplied so there could be over 100 sites you could enter on daily for 2 months to win a prize worth maybe £50, then as if 6,000+ entries per person for 1 prize was not enough some of the competitions became unlimited daily entries. Presumably this drive for site hits contributed to them effectively folding and getting out of the market

    I haven't won any from them, but I rarely enter them.

    I have however spoke to the owner via Facebook comping groups, they seem to try their hardest to make sure the winners receive their prizes.

    I have also known of people that have won from them.

    I only enter them if I am watching TV and have no energy to put much effort in to entering competitions, these are sites that I can go to just to get a few entries in. 
    I also don't mind entering the 24 hour comps that they sometimes have, as we all have one chance of winning, with one entry.
    I generally feel my time is better used to enter comps where we all only have one entry, rather than daily entries, as I'm unlikely to enter them every day.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    same for me, if it's 1 entry per person that will do me, if every one enters a competition say 65 times then entering 65 times simply gives you the same chance of winning as 1 entry in a 1 entry per person competition but with lots more effort.

    It's one of several other sites, the YD is one of the site icons rather than the name
