Disappointed so far.

I had my postal entries processed yesterday just before dinner time.Sent 2 off on Friday for the Focus RS on DCG that draws tonight and neither been processed.
Did you make sure all the information was provided on the postcard as per the terms and conditions?
EDIT:
I would also say DCG are the most consistent in processing postal entries in my experience, the even emailed me when i sent a postal entry in with my old email on it by accident, just as a heads up so i don't make the mistake again.

The only sticking point I can see is that any entries received in last 48 hours may not be processed. I sent 2nd class so perhaps they just didn't arrive quick enough.

2nd class is very inconsistent I've found recently, paired with most postboxes only having one collection per day being ~9am (although in reality I've seen them being collected up until midday). you really need to get them out on the day/next early morning the comp goes live.its easier with RevComps since they typically process on the day of the draw, 2nd class works well if you get them out the day they are released as the main draws have a week lead time.
1st class postal entries are still worth while on the higher value/low odds comps, I won an xbox on Monday via the prize every time instant win comp.

I've never had any DCG postals processed, and I've always sent them first class. Rev Comps much better in that respect.
Same I've not had good success rate with DCG, have to chase them also which puts me off. I've just sent off for some auto draw on RC ones ending on wed 1st, that's almost a week ahead. They don't usually process my autodraw ones for me, trying the day after they are listed now, see if it makes a difference.
I've never had any processed by DCG either. Noticed in the terms that they won't process any received within 48 hours of the closing date so if they only collect post from their po box a couple of times a week it may rule out most entries?
Does anyone use Bonkers competitions? Do they process postals?

To add to this, the 2 I sent to Redline on Monday morning haven't been processed either.Sent 2 off on Friday for the Focus RS on DCG that draws tonight and neither been processed.
Pretty bad form from these companies, only 1 out 6 I sent have been processed.

I’d just save your money play for the car you really want for me that’s 2 or 3 cars a month. I don’t mind spending £20/30. Cost of stamps and postcards add up.
On a separate note nice to see winner hoping more winner show up on this thread just further validates these comps.
That’s exactly it. Play for the car you really want. I’ve had 4 Z4’s over a span of about 10 years as always liked that era of BMW since I was a kid and used to do the Z4 section of the BMW Car Club GB magazine “Straight Six”. So really wanted the Z4M Coupe after asking them to find one for years in the comments section. I asked Robbie to put the cash it came with into my fund me page for the Great North Run but they straight away said no you’ll get the full prize and donation of a Grand for the run.

Dream spec for me too as it’s fitted with the Aero side skirts, Carbon leather dash etc etc. Since then I’ve done Rod Bearings at 42k miles, 5+ year Nebula ceramic coating, CSL wheels, Stromung Back Boxes. The previous owner was working at Alpine F1 as a mechanic so all the history from his ownership time is full of Receipts from BMW parts addressed to Alpine Enstone, so I assume he serviced it using Alpines workshop.
Still buzzing to this day as it’s a car I hope to keep forever. Good luck to anyone playing Rev Comps

Love to hear stories like this, say what you like about the guys but this speaks volumes imo 
Oh and congrats on the Z4M
