Maybe silly question, but how are people the postal entries?
Just buy some blank postcards from Ebay and a box of stamps?
And what details of yours do you put on it?
I'm going to get in on these free entries.
And no, I'm not ashamed.

I got my postcards from Amazon and stamps from the post office as there are so many counterfeits around. When you are on a draw page, there is a link to the free entry method within the T&C's which shows what you need to include

Yup, none of my postals got in either both auto or main draws. I'd bought some, but did a few extra by postal route

Postcards from amazon then buy the postage online and they'll even collect the postcards from your house for free, you don't even have to leave your house.

I had a hit and miss experience with Postals. The cost of a stamp puts me off knowing it may not get processed and it’s happened to me. Tbh I hardly play. I’ve got a ticket for the gt4 on revs that’s it. I’d rather only play for what I want to keep - usually GT Porsche cars my thing.

Moving away from postals for a moment...

How nice is that R34 / RS3 combo on DCG. Odds are a bit long though (as you'd expect for the value I guess)

911 C4S ending today is a beauty too

So what exactly happens when a postal entry doesn't get processed? Do they just claim it never arrived?

Surely Royal Mail aren't losing that many of them confused

There is no audit trail to prove what happens. They will claim that the conditions weren't met in terms of arriving on time, information missing or writing not legible and you have no way to prove otherwise. Clearly nonsense when everyone had the same issue though

So who exactly is supposed to be keeping these companies in check? I have played a lot of sites but I'm starting to question to legitimacy of some of the things I see happening.

My understanding is that if they don't follow the rules, they cross the line into an illegal lottery which is regulated by the gambling commission. I imagine proving it is very difficult though with all the postals accidentally falling in the recycling pile which was taken away same day...

I guess some stricter regulation for this industry wouldn't go amiss then!

Typical luck for me on the week I send in my first ever postal entry to Rev Comps they decide to stop processing them!

It's not the normal but there does seem to have been a glitch this week in processing, they'll have to sort it out so I wouldn't let it put you off.

I’ve just seen a 2 star review on trust pilot in regards to postal entries, rev comps replied stating that the person must have sent in bulk or filled them in incorrectly. This is very unlikely as myself and I’m sure a lot of others using this site send in a few each week which are accepted. Why don’t they just give a reason they didn’t process postal entries this week, either simply forgot? Didn’t have time? Would be a better and more believable answer than multiple people all sent them incorrectly 😂 just say you screwed up simple as that.
