Many people like entering competitions – they are a challenge and you might win a worthwhile prize. Some people even make this a full time job – entering as many high value competitions as possible.

A small number make a significant amount of money on a regular basis but for most it’s an occasional win for fun and to supplement their income.

There are automated services online that once you’ve handed over payment and your details will enter you into dozens or even hundreds of online competitions each month.

Are These Services a Good Idea?

Yes and no.

They will get you into large numbers of competitions with little effort and cost.

But there are disadvantages, including:-

• You may be entered into competitions that you wouldn’t want to enter
• You may win prizes that are of little or no use to you
• They can only enter you into competitions that don’t require any skill and that is very limiting
• Many competitions do what they can to disallow automated entries
• Most competitions are intended to bring people to a website and the use of an automated service denies that so the competition provider loses out

There is nothing illegal about the automated competition entry services but maybe it’s better to manually enter competitions of your choice.
