Same here. I am lucky enough that I can put the correct year but reverse the day and month. If I win and they require proof of age, I can argue that being somewhat senile I was a bit confused and put the American version of the date instead of the UK version.Misslayed said:I have a comping DOB, always the same one in case I’m asked for it later.1 -
Same here, I never use my actual DOB, although it still pretty much reflects my age. Often although there is a field for phone number you can enter the comp without completing this field. To be honest if low value comps insist on too much info I just move on.pate-ci0 said:
