I often wonder if competition sponsors ever actually choose a winning entry from those received over the Internet if there is also an option for competitors to enter by using a premium rate telephone number. I suspect that they choose a winner from someone who has spent money entering. I'm thinking particulary of the itv competitions where you can enter up to 6 times to win a huge amount of money. I guess you can also enter while the programme is on TV by ringing in although I don't know this for sure.
The same thought has occured to me about the Take a Break comps - I suspect that they will choose the winners from those entries that have arrived by mail proving the entrant has actually bought the magazine.
Has anyone ever won any of these ITV comps by internet entry? Or are we wasting our time?

I enter many competitions every month, Internet, a few phone and postcard entries, and i must say i have more luck with my postal entries compared to Internet entries, but yes i have lean spells, but the saying goes "You got to be in it to win it" So all you compers that keep moaning you have never won, either take a short break or carry on comping as at least on this site we get direct link into comp and answer, other sites who may not charge do not give the answer and the link is not direct to page.
Another thing is peoples budgets, if you can afford premuim rate calls to enter then do so, same with postage, but to enter something that you have the same chance as winning as Phone/Text/Postage, enter for FREE No Brainer!!!

My profile doesn't say when I first joined CC(although it may come up on this posting) but it must be 3 years. In that time I've had only 3/4 little wins........and I must of done literally thousands and thousands of comps. Must admit it gets a bit disheartening!!! I'm gradually losing interest and won't renew again.

Have a right to moan about not winning when the same names crop up again and again,enter hundreds,and not even a tiny win been on this site for 3 years and I think it is a fantastic site just don't understand why the same names crop up on the winners page.Can any one clarify the reason for this and before anyone says they are dedicated compers I am a VERY dedicated comper just need even a small win to keep my interest going.

I think the problem may be there are just so many people do the comps, not just here but thru facebook/twitter etc. Its a bit like the Premium Bonds.....last time I checked quite some time ago there were 27 BILLION bonds and only about 25 prizes from five thousand up. Needle in a haystack!

All "responsible" competition runners will certainly give as much precedence to online entry as they do postal or premium phone entry. At the end of the day, someone who enters on-line has had some direct advertising thown at them - and has maybe even had to register.
I feel sorry for the people who do call premium rate numbers to enter competitions - they probably have no idea just how many are entering on-line for free. In the case of programmes like "Real Deal" I wouldn't be at all surprised if the revenues from the phone calls cover the cash prize!
