It is a bit like a bookie changing the odds for your bet after you've already placed it.

GTR winner on DCG was the same guy who won the GTR/Touareg combo a few weeks ago! Mega lucky!!!!!
That can't be right, surely.

And now DCG extended the Black Friday bonus draw thing they were doing too. Not a good look.

Some people buy £1,000s of worth of tickets I believe which might be why...

The Black Friday thing was a free bonus draw, was it not? Can't really complain at them extending that. There have been loads of multiple winners across the various sites, some people just spend a fortune. What possible reason would DCG list the same winner if they were on the fiddle?

Racing Comps have pushed their Caterham season end date back to February. Still a big ask in my opinion, as that'll now come with months more advertising costs.
FFS!
Even if I win, then ive got next to no time to prepare!

Yeah same guy, good luck to him though I think he had 10 or 12 tickets on it.

Just had a few more put through with DCG, can’t complain. I’ve been buying the odd ticket though. Got a few on the Mustang & Golf R. Missis behind the wheel of a 780hp Mustang would be interesting laugh

Sent a load off to Revs but it’s a been hit & miss.

I won a Switch OLED last week from the site I won my Blade beer machine from. Haven't won a car yet from anywhere, doing alright on low odds comps though.

I won this, didn’t even realise I’d been entered into it!

Checked my emails yesterday and saw the message from them. Nice little surprise before Xmas!

Well done! Do tell what it was!

For DCG postal entries, are you guys handwriting these and can you use multiple postcards to enter the same competition?

You can use multiples for the same competition.

What a result that is !

I just got a PS5 , it’s great, unfortunately not for free.

DCG and rev comps have been super compliant for me recently with postals and so again that’s where I’ll spend.

Elite the polar opposite.

Since September they have failed to process 44 postcards sent SAME DAY as release. I think I have had about 5 accepted in the same time period. It’s funny they say that they receive 500 postals a day now on trust pilot as they clearly accept about 20 on each comp max. So admit to throwing away thousands because they can’t get to them in time.

I feel a bit bad as 20mins before I got the email I’d just posted my first ever postal entries laugh Did 2 on the Porsche/RS6 draw, they’ve processed one today not sure if they’ll do the other.

I’m not a gamer so the consoles are going to two mates for a good price and I’ll keep the tele to replace my bedroom one.

I've had a couple of wins there, beer machine last week too. No cars though which is a shame

It’s the price of doing business - a competition like that will never sell out so it’ll cost them nothing .
