He does here. I got curious and un-ignored him, and see his latest wins seem to be the result of gambling, which he was asked not to post.

3500 comps entered now. It's going to be a big push now to enter another 6500 comps before the end of the month to win my 100 prizes.

4000 comps entered now. Does anyone have any tips for winning 100 prizes in a month and have anyone here achieved a 100 wins in a month.

my only tip is to stop gambling and including gambling wins in your total

… and stop obsessively setting unrealistic targets.

I don't think 100 is unrealistic. Know a few people who have done it in the past. I believe it will happen at some point and can report it here. But what would you class as gambling because most postcard comps have gone to text and if you buy a product you get to enjoy what ever you bought or could even donate it to a food bank. Very few wins I spend more than £2.10 anyways

Anyways 4500 comps entered now. Getting close to hitting my 10000 comps entered target.

How much have you spent in July so far? Anything more than £2.10 per competition is against the forum rules for inclusion here. To be honest, I think entering ten £2 competitions in a month every month is a problem (but that is my opinion). However, anything directly related to gambling is also always excluded (i.e., a £2 bet on a horse or on a lottery). Also, you are specifically chasing the number of prizes; you mention it in many threads. You don't seem bothered if it is a prize of a Snickers bar or a low-value voucher. That is a little tell-tale; it is a textbook psychological illusion of gambling known as The Volume Fallacy. You are getting a dopamine hit from the prize even if it is of very low value. You have become goal-obsessed, trying to tell yourself that it is just about comping, which is part of the problem.

If you are genuinely confused about why the forum classifies paid raffles as gambling rather than comping, you can check the UK Gambling Commission Guide which explicitly states that raffles and lotteries are legally defined as gambling. https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-and-players/guide/fundraising-prize-draws-raffles-and-lotteries Comping should have zero financial risk. When you are entering 4,500 draws many of which have a cost, it becomes a financial risk venture. If you ever feel like the drive to hit a specific number of wins is getting heavy, resources like BeGambleAware  https://www.gambleaware.org/tools-and-support/gambling-harms-assessment/ are out there to help look at those volume patterns. I'm stepping away from the discussion now, but best of luck with the free comps.
