    Its a scam. It costs the same as when you go normally. (My wife didn't even enter the competition and she won!)

    I rang them earlier as we also got one and asked for a quote for a fictional 10 person stag do.

    For £15 per person you get 100 paintballs and the same deal (you have to pay £10 non refundable deposit).

    And at £7 per 100 paintballs you will use about £35 worth of paintballs on average (using there own 400-600 paintballs stats from their page).



    All in all it works out as £45 per person.

    And I was soooooo looking forward into making my Brother In Law a walking target!

    I got one of these too - and I didn't enter gimjim's - which doesn't mention £150 vouchers - so this must be from Kipper's post which closed 14/04! - in which case it says there are 25 runners up for voucher and dvd?

    But I'm thinking it is only any good it you were going to go anyway - it may save you a little bit.

    Yep me too a winner :p This must have been from Kippers compy for a flat panel tv. Took a while to work out because I thought - I haven't entered for paintballing :confused: OK own up, who entered that comp and didn't win the paintballing :rotfl:
    I think it would be worth it if you were going to go anyway, but it seems more like a promotional discount sort of thing.
  • Yeah, it was from Kippers post...My first thought was that I hadn't entered a comp to go Paintballing...too much of a wimp to do anything like that:rotfl:

    i won aswell lol

    so its normally £15 per person
    this is a £150 voucher but we still have to pay £10 fee so we would only be saving £5 per person?

    I also "won".

    What a crummy con. Getting so many peoples' hopes up in a sordid exercise in SUGGING - Selling Under the Guise of running a competition.

    Paintball by slimeballs.

    From the chorus of 'Well done :T :T :T' messages, it seems you can fool enough of the people enough of the time. (Ask Dave Cameron).

    The only congratulations due are to Kelticfox, MSE's investigative sleuth of the year.
