2023 win Recap

cardboardandroid

New(ly active) member here. Ive just gone over my wins from 2023 and thought I'd post my haul here. Im very much focused more twoards technology and specifically PCs and gaming, although not adverse to the occasional sweeps though tend to stick to things that are actually usefull to me. This year I won a few more prizes than previous years although overall lower value I still think I was pretty successfull this year. There were a lot of individual game keys, where as previously it was more likely to win credit for steam ort other game stores.

I have a few specific Items I am looking out for in 2024, mobile phone, a good ergo gaming/office chair, and more generally will be keeping an eye out for Amazon credit (very usefull as a custom keyboard enthusiast), game codes or Steam credit (Specifically Metal Gear Solid if possible)

Finally I would like to add as a discusion if anyone has had any failed wins? Over the last couple of years I had one which was a complete failure, the prize provider completely stopped reply to any emails, and after googling reviews seems as though they started doing the same with paying customers. I won a £100 amazon gift voucher through a gleam sweepstakes, saw I had won in the widget although never had the host or sposor reach out to me, after a month I reached out via social media, after 3 months finally recieved the gift card. And currently Im still waiting for an Acer monitor, the comp wasnt drawn till 4 months after the end date, its now 3 months after that and communication is slow, after some searching on Reddit this does seem to be their usual happenings, although most people recieve the items eventually (and in some cases upgraded versions), so Im keeping my fingers crossed I can get this soon.

Oooh nice focused comping strategy with a nice haul of wins to match! Thanks for sharing on here. As a forum & comping noob am fascinated by others approach/mindset/comping-style/experience plus deeply heartened by their wins too! Congrats on your '23 & here's hoping your '24 is at least as good if not even better. May your wins be on your wishlist 🤖

Congratulations! That's a great list of wins I had a failed win in 2022 where I had won a £200 arts and crafts bundle and it just never showed up even though I kept being told by the prize provider that it was on it's way, eventually I got a response from the magazine I had entered the competition in to say the company had gone bankrupt and there wouldn't be a prize arriving
