True, have not seen The Don, sorry, The Tox for a while, Trevsta was my life influence for starting after he won New York Beyoncé trip and stacks of other stuff so watching his mad adventure gave me the bug :) Good Luck

@Brookemaree93 They're still about. I'll send some of that good karma for the eftpos comp. It's been rubbing off on a few nice contacts :) I won the eftpos again.

Wow Trevsta 's NY trip win sounds amazing. I had a small adventure today (St Kilda pier) was for a a loot drop for XBoxes etc. They did one for Melbourne, Sydney and Brissy. To my suprise was dropped really close to me. Sadly I was too slow. It went within 10 min. I'm and about 5 away by tram. Well was a exciting change of pace for a competitoin. I havent run down a tram in ages.

Yeah comps can be fun once in a while and some amazing opportunities. At the moment I'm happy with the small cash wins accumulated this year. Overall not a bad year it's been majority cash/coles myers vouchers around $600 which have come in handy.

Good Luck hope the XMas comps are going well.

I've never come across that scenerio where thought got too many points. Most likely it was daily random points for visiting the home page which when refreshed the page later on showed up on the your total. I'd place bets someone had a long night and seeing double. :)

@Lemond I did have a long night but I was only drinking tea, next time I'll use only one tea bag :-)

Nice win :)

Congratulations on your win :)

Congratulations

@Smalot11 I get the same feeling when midnight rolls over or the end of the month.

Hope everyone is doing well for the XMAS comps. So far haven't got into the groove for diving in for the XMAS rush and will start easing into a few today. Do we have a post for a quick list of any the 12 days of XMAS? Would be appreciated due to some technical difficulties making reading challenging.

Good Luck :)

@Lemond I've only done the ones on OzBargain, just search 12 Days Of Christmas. The is a list started on one of the Facebook comps page, I'll look and see if I tag you in it.

@Smalot11 Yeah there's some great contributors that work nonstop there. I struggle to keep up with one in particular. Slowly working a list for the reoccurring ones interested in. With the various sites they get buried in haystack if miss the initial post and If lucky catch catch them on closing day.

@Ascompet Thanks. :)

Thank you

All good now, thanks

@Lemond oh dear. you think that you are smart and funny... how truly sad...

if you aimed to be sarcastic you failed there as well .. keep on trying.. one day you might succeed..

@Anna2077 Was to prompt you to maybe reflect why it appears you default to the need to projective negative karma. Possibly there're some underlying issues clouding your thoughts. It doesn't excuse what could be considered "trolling" at times.

Maybe the best XMAS gift could be reflecting and obtaining some insights into Karma and use that knowledge to achieve your goals like your dream job.

@Lemond oh dear ... when you think you are smart and funny it's all and good .. when you get a taste of your own medicine it's considered trolling.

That's just funny ... life is too short to deal with narcissistic people ...

Today is the 30th.. which means that daily games score should be 1500 and not 1450.. I've played the number game daily..

Now fixed and received into paypal account, thanks @Admin.

Facebook competitions generally don't get them. If only I knew exactly which ones are the result of those phishing emails be great. There are some types I try and avoid, especially the ones involving dozens of yes/no responses.

On that note I should clean out my junk folder. I seem to accumulate a couple hundred each day. The trend lately is bitcoin trader ones and the usual other types.

What about phishing SMSs. Getting a few of these in the past 3 weeks.

Those too recently

Well done @heidiho73. I'm sure you will have that laptop very soon. :)

Thanks for tips and tricks @heidiho73. I like your 'Positive thinking' attitude. Good luck with winning a laptop :)

@heidiho73 Great tips.
I find using bookmarks is a good fall back method for keeping track of competitions entered. Notepads I find are ineffective apart from maybe brainstorm creative comps as virtually all comps are online entry.

If stick to using one browser for entering comps and bookmark before hitting the submit then append the closing date in a consistent manner eg "01/09/2017" it helps for checking back and avoiding double entry.
i.e. the bookmark will show up when you revisit the page. This has help numerous times. Thou on the odd occassion you might find promoters reusing the same link.

For various social media, daily entry etc I separate into separate folders etc month. The limitations are when a new month rolls over and got comps spanning months it gets a bit cumbersome. Also appending to the start of the book a consistent date in the format above allows for sorting of bookmarks easily.

Most likely what preference you use comes down to the volume and types of comps entered.

Good Luck

:)

I prefer the term homosexual

Marriage equality has finally got the vote, 61.6% Yes to the postal vote, which a record 80% of people voted in, GO HOMOSEXUALITY! GO EQUALITY!!! :-|) So Proud!

@heidiho73 As long as you complete the major bonus which are mandatory to have a genuine chance you're in the running.
-You will NEED to do every day the guessing game. (50 points)
-NEED to click on the email newsletter bonus. (30 points)
-Visit the home page daily where the competitions are listed to obtain your daily random points (1-10)
-Tick off most if not all competitions posted during the current month before they EXPIRE or before the end of the month.

As the guessing game has a bonus worth 50 points each day, if miss a day statistically is improbable for a top 10. Still may/likely make the Top 50 if miss only one day. That depends how many active members. Trend seems can miss one miss day currently.

For the newsletter email bonus also virtually mandatory (30 points). It will be fairly obvious when that occurs. I.e. Should notice a jump in the leaderboard scores or a dramatic drop in your leaderboard position. Best to log into this site first the click on the bonus link within that newsletter email. The hard part maybe locating that email.

Make sure visit the home page each day to collect your daily random points. Just a note for the first day of the month to activate the points system first click on a new comp posted then refresh the main comp page. That's an annoying feature which catches out new members.

Only comps posted this month count towards the comps viewed tally. You can miss a few comps posted without too much effect. Thou could make the difference between few positions at the end of the month. It appears you might of missed a couple of competitions so far posted this month. You can use the filter by entered which will display competitions you haven't clicked. Note if was posted this month and already expired it shouldn't be displayed.


Good luck :)

Thank you so so much for that comprehensive answer. I am wondering now about the newsletter bonus. Why would it be hard to find the email?

@heidiho73 Argh ... when you got 80,000+ emails between a couple of accounts finding those elusive important emails, especially the winning ones gets "challenging".

Lesson is first create a separate comping account then don't then decide to switch back. You get twice as many spam emails. Thou the advantage is you can spot those easier when get them twice.

Yeah found a winning email tonight. Nothing major just a PC game. Now if only had a decent PC to run it on.

@Anna2077 lmao I was about last month month for the daily random points out of the members that did all the major bonuses. Probably first in the number of comps ticked off if that counts. Any luck this month I'll bounce back. At least for this month got double guesses for the guessing game to look forward to. Never complaining, I'm just handballing back your lovely daily points enjoy. :)

It's way too early to get pessimistic or optiministic for the leaderbarod. At least you could of waited until about day 14-21 when start get a good impression if genuinely still in with chance. You be hoping to be around 90 daily points for 14 days or for 21 days around 135. I look at how a each 7 day period where an average around 45 points for each week places roughly the top 1/2 dozen. It only takes a decent run for a few days to turn things around quickly.

If I'm ever complaining it's about my PC. I wouldn't wish it on anyone as it's a form of torture. I won't be handballing that when I finally retire it to the scrape heap. I could do with some nice small cash wins this month to help towards the budget for a new PC. X fingers.

Good luck,. :)

@lemond can you please contact me on spyglass2121@hotmail.com as I want to talk some stats with you

@spyglass will get back. Currently my pc is virtually unusable. It's not up to researching and doing any major reading. Sort of feel I'm using a blinds man cane to use it with major display issues. Hopefully will sort out a new PC by the end of the month.

Educated guess thinking your qu might be financial/stock market related. Just remember past performance is no indicator of future performance. :)

Enjoying reading about other compers. Well done @travlmad and what a nice gesture to send a card after your trips.

Good luck for the next trip.

Good luck for winning $$$ to cover ancillary costs. :)

Well done, I am so happy when our people win!

@wolverine, I sent them a msg via conversation, I have finally been allocated the points yesterday. Hope you get yours soon.

Thanks for that Try2win I have just done the same and received the points straight away.

Great to hear @wolverine

Congrats. Those sunnies are getting some press.
Big congrats for your new washing machine, :)

Kids love them so that's good. And I must say how impressed I am with Whirlpool cooking, the new machine was delivered to my door in 2 days after winning. Very happy :) Thank you.

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!

done,

@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. :)

From quick look should get voters do elibilible votes I.e. Creative etc etc I.e looking for genuine voters

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

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.
