Did anyone else watch the draw for this? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6426845/e-21-02-sold-out-win-a-ps5-for-free-7days-performance-app-sold-out Despite it only being 1 entry
per person it looks like the winner has made multiple accounts and
entered more than once as their name crops up multiple times on the
spreadsheet -

Agreed - an unusual name in there multiple times

Sounds dodgy. I have added a comment to the post querying this, as have several other people. I have messaged them too. Looks like they are using a basic random number selector on the spreadsheet which is OK for paid competitions where multiple entries are allowed but not for the free competitions when it's maximum one entry per person.

I think the organisers tried to be open and fair but just haven't spotted the multiple entries. In fact nobody would have noticed had they not filmed it.1

Reply from organiser - "this is an issue we're aware of & are working on as we speak". I have asked if they are going to draw another winner from those entrants who stuck to the rules.

Their interest is all about the paid entries that make them lots of money.BootsMullery said:Looks like the same problem on letswin, https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6430645/e-08-03-win-free-100-00-website-credit-plus-80-free-instant-wins#latest

Any update with 7DaysPerformance?
I was just about to say the same for LetsWin.
I know of 2 companies that would really care if this happened but then hopefully they wouldn't allow it to happen.Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.1 -
I have not heard or seen anything from 7days, might message and see what they have to say.Ms_Dee said:Any update with 7DaysPerformance?

I did message LetsWin and received a swift replay stating that they have restricted the users account so that they cannot play again, only one of their tickets would be entered into the draw and the winning credit has been deleted from their account.

I've just looked at the letswin one and it is showing the user as having 50 entries into the free draw. Lets hope they do remove them all it's shame that others couldn't have had the chance to enterComping_Rich said:
