I'm still waiting, no reply, has not even read all my messages, although I am using my cousins paypal as mine was compromised last year and I will never use it again, mmm, still a good site for the mad comps, patience is the virtue :)

@moreofachance Patience is a virtue. Keeps you out of trouble while things sort themselves out.

I have almost infinite patience. Think cricket umpiring and one match batted by day and half 328 deliveries for 43 runs. So patience with a pinch of stubbornness. Lmao

I think the site has had a server move that wasn't smooth. I got a response on FB. Maybe try there as well.

Finally I'm out of my misery as my PC died today. Long long overdue. So... last months win is going to come in handy. Damn one finger typing on an iPad until can get a new PC.

Won a couple of pounds one regular 'sponsor'. Hmm I need to pick some lucky lotto numbers from lottoland U.K.

@Lemond patience was not needed, I was also paid two days ago, just didn't realise it, as I said, I love this site for the mad comps and the leaderboard and guessing game are a bloody bonus, I've had a good run in 15 months, twice won and 3rd and also a guessing game, Thankyou @alex @admin, happy Dayz r here

Thanks all :)

Well done mate!

Cheers mate

Congratulations. Happy viewing

Nice win Di D :)

Congratulations

Voted, good luck!

Done good luck!

@Smalot11 What car? I don't usually enter car competitions. Which comp was that for? There is a slight off chance with someone with the same name. I've come across that recently.

I won a inflatible ride on toy designed for toddlers which I've gifted. I had to double check that I had entered that comp. Yeah was bookmarked. Argh rarely would I enter such a comp there must of been another prize in the same comp was interested in.

Where you had to keep your hand on the car. Or was that for an other prize?

A wins a win :) Nice of you to gift it onto someone.

Good luck on winning a new PC this week!

@Smalot11 lol that's was for AFL Grand Final tickets a few years back. Argh lasted for hours then they favoured someone. Ended up with a a cap I've still got. :)

Thought I''ve missed an winning email etc. I still reckon half the luck is finding those winning notifications before it's too late. @toxicgherkin :(

I think will end up buying a PC in the next few weeks. I can't old out too much longer waiting for the end of month draws.

@gaseja Hmm has anyone had a replay back regarding the not receiving their transfer of Combux to PayPal?
It doesn't appear Alex is reading messsages.

@Lemond same here, messages not read and that's about it :)

All good now, I missed the email, was paid same time as you guys, thanks @admin

@spyglass Looks like the site had major maintenance this morning. Hang on you won last month leaderboard there's a win and probably won a leaderboard around last year in May. Cash is king beats most prizes :) if you have enough computer under the mattress should ok to cash out the $50. I'm still trying to reach that level for a 3rd place $25 won a few months back.

@Lemond yes, I was meaning that his site is the only place where I seem to win anything. I've had a good run in the last 12 months, so I'll take that as a win.....but there is nothing wrong with being greedy so a win from another site is long overdue!

@spyglass I know that feeling this year though won a few small prizes this month a $20 Bunnings, $100 Coles and a bottle of cognac which will pick up this weekend.

Sort of ironically that the comps that win are from the comp site and. It from entering the comps.

Damn typo last post mean be compbux under the bed thou do keep my old pc parts under there as well. It's a time for a spring clean.

Thanks I see now updated. Some gremlins in the system this last week. :)

What a great read, well done @Try2Win!

Good stuff @Try2Win!

Thanks @Smalot11 and @fourleaf.

@Lemond Thank you for your tips. You're very very helpful.

@indriasun Doh Richmond won by tooooooo much. Was right on the money for one comp at half time. :(

I think all I read was tips, god I've definately got footy tipping on the brain atm. lmao.

The one thing searching for your name won't find is when the promoter posts an image or video for winner announcements. If someone has shared it to the group usually they will put in the subject "Congratulations XYZ". If members keep to that standard I find easy to spot in the subject headings for my FB email notifications.

Hey, I've tried to join this Competition Winners Australia, but it's been pending for a few days now. Apparently people already in the group are able to send joining requests out to others, is that true? I really wanna join, haha!

@Smalot11 :)
I don't think much luck with allllllllllllllllll the footy tipping comps I've done over the last week.

Argh I'm footy tipped out must of done about 40+ of them. Bit like doing all the XMAS ones, at least they only go for a few days. You need to on the ball or end up only left with picking enormous margins as most where first to guess closest. If could do that over again would be bit more organised how to locate them.

Damn one was for for $250 cash with only ONE Richmond guess. I was spot on at the half time margin if that counts :( Just had to decide higher or lower then that one guess. Hmmm still can hope they don't claim it in time. "wishful' thinking

So if do a bit of leg work and hunt around you can find the occassional very decent odds off the main comping radar. IMO my impression most of the Aussie compers on FB rarely do any as see the same ones circulating about. Really it's only the first couple times a promoter runs some competitions they are low key after that they become known.

Won $9.33 today from Draftstars free entry comp to add to my run of cash wins. Along with approximatelyr 10,000 winners, virtually everyone that entered that today won. :)

Nice win lemond!

@surferboy83 Thanks Yeah small wins, I'll have to keep rattling that tin can for luck. :)

Should be another $10 tonight from Draftstars from the free entry comp. Appears you require a balance of $20 to cash out easily, x fingers should just be over that now. Its been nice weekend with 4 wins with either coles/cash :)

Thanks all, @Lemond thanks for your advice, yeah I find it is not easy to sell things and I'm actually quite afraid of other's judgment when I get it for free but trying to make money out of it. I can see that some people don't think it's acceptable although I believe it's my right to do so, moreover there's some effort involved. I can see that this Tixstar voucher can be given/sold. Let me know if any of you wants to get this $500 voucher for $300. Thanks all. https://www.tixstar.com.au/

@indriasun God I wouldn't worry, at times can be heated debate. When you get to understand the various reasons you can't be too quick to judge. You'll probably find those judging were eyeing off that prize etc :). I wish you could pick and choose what you want to win it's a bit of a lucky dip. Stick your hand in and could be keys to a new car or box of tissues.

Personally I keep (most times) to comps with prizes want to win and lately more focused on cash/grocery vouchers. Occassional some eye candy might lure me off the that path. So overall if win the odds are something really looking for. I pass over like 90% of comps saves wasted time checking back on those.

Reminds me I need to find someone from South Australia or wants to win a holiday 5 nights accomodation without airfares, if it hasn't closed and withdraw my entry. Lasted I checked had few entries. I think if still open be the 2pm i.e. the first bounce of the footy. :)

Congrats on the win!

Congratulations!

@jennye Congrats. Sounds like a great win.

Yeeeeww

Thanks :)

exactly

thanks, yeah got lots of use out of it

Great to read, keep winning @Wolverine

keep it up
http://igetintopc.com/

hmm nice post really lov

http://downloadpcgames88.net/

great post thank for sharing x

http://oceangamez.com/

@Smalot11 Congrats on all the wins. Looks like enjoying yourself. :)

Gee 345 still to be drawn, I'll bet most of those will be within the next week. Haven't counted how many got ending ASAP thou expecting notifications to going to "fun" trying to check them all. Good Luck

Yes a definite trend of Mondays, Fridays and the end of the month for competitions endings.

Yep having lots of fun. Half the excitement is thinking about what could be won, also love seeing other people win. It's amazing to see how many millions of dollars of prize are up for offer each month when you really start looking

@Smalot11 Nice to see had some WOL wins. Those can have a bit of fun with. :)
Hmm sometimes thou when checking out the winners groups is all the nice comps didn't around to putting in an entry in.

Great interview. It seems to be getting harder and harder to win these days as everyone is doing it. If you think your entry was the best it seems the less likely to win. I've entered thinking that my entry is fantastic but win on the ones that I don't think are very good. I don't know what the judges are thinking or what they are looking for. Most entries like Rowan's are pretty common these days though as most people do/say the same thing.

Nice to see a winning answer. It is a rarity that companies publish them.

Thanks Nicole! Good luck all for winning some competitions this week!

Sent an email through.

@admin, interview was done and put up in the blog late last month. Are you gonna give the 2000 ($20) CompuBux as you offered??? If so, when??

Same here too - I did the interview and it was put into the blog, but received no points. thought maybe it was just me. Thanks Try2win for bringing it to admins attention.

@Anna2077 lmao you're way to funny. But isn't life just one big competition?

@lemond my last win was a good one exactly one year ago...I went to the Melbourne cup on a Carnival Cruise was a wonderful trip, but not a thing have I won in 2017 :(

@KittyKat65 Wow nice one. Sounds like would of been an awesome day. You could use that wonderful day as inspiration for other comps to turn your luck around. :)

That's one great thing about competitions you get the chance to experience things you wouldn't usually do or afford. If really lucky win something urgently need.

Well one great win or a whole lot of small ones.... Hmm hard choice depends on the prize, thou I do prefer winning cash or grocery vouchers lately. This year seem to winning small cash wins. I think would of won around $250 cash from a half dozen comps since Januaary so nothing to complain about. Cash is always king and a nice prize however small.

For why in a drought? IMO depends on how many competitions entering and what things specially looking to win etc. As a few compers have pointed out it seems increasingly difficult to win. It really depends where and your looking for finding competitions and what prizes liked to win. On Facebook for example all the Aussie compers are one degree of separation from each other. Mainly linked via a few dozen with major comping contact lists (for the tagging comps or likes etc). They get shared around very quicklly and your chances get greatly diminished. The pros and cons of even slightly attached to those groups.

Sometimes a random explore to find prizes of interest that might be off main comping radar, might help improve your chances. I should get in the habit of checking for more local comps. Or you can concerntrate on a forte for creative entry comps. Ideally if got a forte and also find off the radar comps your chances start looking great. Some compers do exceptional well just focusing on their niche creative competitions.

X fingers for a decent win by XMAS.

Good Luck.:)

@Lemond Must be someone I love the most lol

I cannot find that Newsletter either. Asked the question but no email received as yet. Anyone else any luck?

@Ceedubya found mine as it was hidden amongst few thou emails I've not looked as yet. Do. a search . Lemond posted the heading of the email

Thank you all so much

Done...

Voted @Tuppinski

@Lemond I'm in Australia and I know the conditions were once a day ?

Done

@mustang17 It was just the unusual time when the voting day rolled over threw me a bit.
5pm roll over for a day instinctively I'm think USA PST. Comes from dong way to many international comps.
I shouild of actually read the T&C's pasted. Aussie charity donation so maybe based on 5pm working day.

You may know can vote once per thou I suspect members may not of realised. Looks like you need all the help can get. Also try some of the aussie comping Facebook groups you might get some support there as well.

Good luck. :)

Do you know what the code word for tonight is?

@sandy55 Sorry been having major PC issues lately which doubles up as the TV and missed the 7 news.
I haven't been entering and tend to catch all these TV comps when got the TV going in the background.

Yeah x fingers think sorted out the PC. Bite the bullet tonight and refreshed windows. 3 hours without a crash. Considering I was lucky to get 15 minutes without a bluescreen the last few weeks. :(

Done

Had already done so, @Alittlebitoffun. :)

For voting requests ect if can put ending dates so know how urgent for getting around to helping out would be great. I suspect it's finished. Hope you went well :) Congrats. Just checked. :)

lmao

@Smalot11 that was also my first "candle" win thou it came with 6 nice bottles of wine :)

God for XMAS get the glasses ready there will be plenty of comps for wine and bubbly to keep you going all year. Virtually every hamper giveaway will have a couple of bottles.

What's really eluding me is a new PC and washing machine,

Well I'll look forward to that :) I'll keep my eyes out for PC and washing machine comps

Do you think EB could have spared it. I know a win is a win but it classed a promotional material

I won one set of towels once.

Thank you for this question because I thought they may be a con. I don't enter them.

Nope. They are not even daily draws . Just monthly.
Pretty hard to win, but great if someone has!

@Smalot11 Well nothing rings of confidence from the email, youtube channel, twitter and facebook found searching for their email and google etc. So I'm highly unlikely to risk paying the delivery cost. For starters the delivery cost given probably won't cover shipping if its USA to Australia. Aussuming USA as that what's info is provided in their youtube details.

I might play along a bit to see what can uncover. Also email gleam etc to see what they think. If indeed a scam gleam should be notified for starters.

The reads:
Congratz! you are the winner drawed from my "PC Giveaway If you cant pay 60$ for shipping via paypal i have to redraw and select another winner sorry! Contact me back when you can! SO we can sort things out and send you your new Product!

No mention who they are etc.

Does seem suspicious unfortunately :( let me know how it works out.

@Smalot11 Yeah rings of danger Will Robinson!

From googling the winning email all I found was warning signs. A post offering to sell their YouTube channel at a "discounted" price etc. Couple of FB pages related to broken comp links on Youtube they previously hosted by the looks of it. Nothing they give any idea who they are etc or more importantly and confidence it's nothing other then a SCAM.

Got a follow up email from them them to provide shipping details and they will cover any additional shipping costs. After paying the $60 to paypal. The first thing came to mind $60 couldn't cover the weight of a PC being shipped from the USA. I've consider that a few times for legitament comps. Also they asked wouldn't I like to know the PC details. Argh you think they would of sent that in the winning email. Of course would of like to know.

So I've sent Gleam an email regarding it. Wow got an almost instanteous response:

We do ever recommend paying for shipping, it's most likely a scam based on the data you've provided.
I would ask for receipts first, we'll look at the account on our end and take the appropriate action.

I think they meant we don't ever recommend etc.

Also done the same for YouTube.

Lesson is don't tease me with winning a PC LMAO.

@Lemond Thank you, will write an update now :)

Done

Thank you @Npas

Trailblazer comp? I think the codeword is still JOURNEY as the comp was meant to end on the 27th but now extended. Good luck :)

Argh that might explain why I didn't catch the code word the other night.

No sorry but I will take some tiny marshmellows :)

The codeword is MOUNTAIN

Thank you!
