you and me both! do you enter anywhere else? I've had DCG postal accepted.Suubzer0 said:
At the moment just revcomps and DCG, clickcomps but they didn't accept my last few, looking for some others as many are going to instant win or have a low acceptance rate. Any suggestions for lowish odd comps who accept most entries?
Been playing DCG and Rev for ~18 months paid and only just started doing postal entries, RevComps accept most of my entries, DCG seem to process daily and are quick to add my postals, managed to get a couple of tickets on the £42.99 Focus RS draw (plus you get dream points too) so thats a nice touch.I've also posted to Click but had no luck, previously won an iPad on their site however (paid entry)

Yeah that's decent I will probably just stick to them 2 then seem to be most reliable with good comps.I've also posted to Click but had no luck, previously won an iPad on their site however (paid entry)
My mate won a new Ferrari, bought a ticket at the airport in the early days of it, came home and collected it.
I bought a " Prize" car a few years back, a very well sorted 2012 Astra VXR, claimed to be running 380 bhp, it certainly felt like it, and it handled so well, but failed the mot lol, on a missing CAT.
Cheap sport cat later, it passed and no issues with EML. Thankfully.
The guy I sold it to, knew everything about it, thats how I found out it had been raffled, and was delighted to get it.

Why do they accept postal entries? Surely that's cutting into their profit? Or am I missing something...I've also posted to Click but had no luck, previously won an iPad on their site however (paid entry)
Postal entry on the Focus is a result - I'm jealous, I wanted to enter but I'm probably spending a bit too much with DCG at the moment so £42.99 was a bit rich for me

Because if they don't that would be gambling and would require them to meet the relevant regulations They are not "free" at all though... the money has to come from somewhere so Competition companies have to factor these "free tickets" into their ticket prices... therefore everyone who buys a ticket pays for the free postcard leeches to get their free entries.

Another worrying development from Rev Comps today I see. They have had a run of negative feedback on Trust pilot which most of us would not be aware of if they hadn't posted about it on their Facebook page. One person called 'Luke' has given their opinion on Trust pilot that there is a disproportionate amount of local winners, something many people have commented on before today.
Rev Comps have a right to reply and did so on Trust pilot but then complained about it on their Facebook page as well which resulted in a mass attack on 'Luke' who wrote the original Trust pilot review. Im sure this is what Rev Comps expected and wanted.
This is worrying because people will now feel they can't leave a negative review on Trust pilot if they have a bad experience with Rev Comps for fear of being ridiculed and attacked by hundreds of their 'fans' on Facebook. They certainly cant use their real names if they do making the Trust pilot score completely meaningless.
It is "worrying"... its "worrying" that people can create an account on a globally accepted review site with no proof of who they are... no verification... no need to provide a real name or proof they had any transaction with the company they are reviewing... and then call them "scammers" again with no proof whatsoever.Rev Comps have a right to reply and did so on Trust pilot but then complained about it on their Facebook page as well which resulted in a mass attack on 'Luke' who wrote the original Trust pilot review.

Therefore the company concerned, a UK registered company with directors recorded with Companies House, have every right to pull that review apart on their own Facebook page or Website... why not.
I've been a Rev Comps customer since the early days, won a cheap punt and a bit of tech along the way... but probably spent more than I have won over the years but thats life... and it could change in a single draw on any of these reputable sites... but speaking from experience Rev Comps are one of the best and definitely not "a scam" in any way. They are running a successful business and making a good living, why on earth would they do anything untoward and risk that.

Thats exactly why I've started doing postal entries, I was spending a bit too much, I had a decent win on a villa holiday and it spured me on to go a bit harder, I couldn't have justified entering the Focus at £42.99 however (£0.81 per entry / 75p stamp + 6p postcard) is much more palatable.cadmunkey said:
They do seem to love to copy DCG with prizes.
Pretty sure the big prizes on 7Days like the GT3RS and the recent Huracan STO are the directors cars - if you look at their personal Instagrams, it looks like they buy these cars, run them for a few months and then raffle them off. Must be nice!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
