    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).

    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.
