97 prizes to win by the end of the month to achieve months goal

10000 a month, even taking only 1 minute each to enter, is a full time job at 166 hours! That’s about 38 hours a week. The OP could get a minimum wage job earning around £2100 a month (before tax).

Again, another figment of his imagination.

I think gambling is his job. These comps are mostly premium rate texts and calls, online gambling casino type websites (e.g. bingo), online raffles where you have to pay to enter, and the purchasing of products specifically because they advertise prizes rather than actually needing the products.
While he is quick to come on here and make a lot of noise about his alleged wins (as paltry as many of them are), he's not so quick to tell us how much he is spending on all these "comps" (i.e. gambling).
I know I've poked a bit of fun at his posts, that's one of the reasons I've put him on ignore, he makes it too easy. But in reality he has a problem, and I hope he can realise that and get the help he needs before he loses everything.

If none of the comps you have won have been from here or even listed here then why come on here bragging about what you intend to win. Maybe post some comps on here for others to enter instead of just bragging.
Why are you not posting on the IWIWIW section or joining in on the monthly compers challenge thread.
If I was a betting person I would bet that you haven't got a cat in hells chance of achieving 100 wins this month or any other month.

One of the comps he claims to have won was actually listed on here. The Nectar promotion where he won 5p in Nectar points. 😏
As for the concert tickets he "won", I suspect they're comps - that is complimentary tickets given out on various websites by concert producers whose concerts aren't selling well, to fill up seats and avoid having to cancel the concert.
The rest couldn't be listed on here due to the £2.10 rule and are more for gamblers (him) than compers (the rest of us).

Yeah, that’s kind of the difference between comping as a hobby and gambling promos dressed up as “wins.” Winning 5p in Nectar points as a headline prize is pretty funny when you put it that way.
And you’re probably right about the concert tickets too сause a lot of those are basically promotional giveaways to fill empty seats rather than rare high-value wins. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s definitely different from the way some people present it online.
The gambling-related offers can still have value for the right person, but they usually come with deposits, wagering, or risk attached, so they don’t really fit the same category as traditional free-entry comps.
