Cracking down on the prize cheats

That's right, we're constantly trying to improve Win4now & making sure that everyone who enters the competitions are not cheating the system.

It's not fair on the genuine members, so we have very strict rules and if you're found cheating you won't get your prize.
Now all the would be members who join using fake & quite frankly obscene names will no longer be able to win. No longer will our lovely Joy have to sift through rude words when picking the latest prize winners! Hooray!

Hard but fair. Everyone has an equal chance of winning our prize draws. No exceptions.

Happy comping everyone.

Competition clues

I've just noticed that the August Fun4now mystery image competition image is pretty hard this month.

Here's an extra clue for you as i'm feeling generous today.

This month's Mystery Image is something you find in your garden when it is feeling a little parched.

I.e this object is in the garden when the garden is parched - not that the object is parched!

That's a tongue twister! Good luck.

Winning Tactics

Thanks so much for your email. I am absolutely delighted to be a prizewinner, I have been a member of your website for many years and this is the first time I have ever won anything. We have just come back from holiday after taking our prehistoric digital camera, which not only looks like a dinosaur but is definitely feeling its age!! Therefore I would like to choose the Sony Cybershot H20 please. Thanks again.

It just shows that if you keep trying; eventually you'll become a winner! A little bit of effort and it only costs you time not money.

Back from my hols

Hi Win4now'ers,

I'm back from my Alps mountain biking holiday and am in shock at how expensive it is abroad right now! We did the holiday on the cheap via camping and not eating/drinking out and it still cost a fortune. In one of the supermarkets they were charging nearly 9 Euro's for a Toblerone chocolate bar! Madness.

It's made me more enthusiastic about freebies & entering competitions.

These competitions are closing soon so get entering and save up your £££ ready for your next summer holidays!

Win 1 of 2 retro sweetie hampers Here.
Win a Dell Mini 10 Laptop Here.
Win a Kona Town Bike Here.

Good luck!

Have you changed since the recession?

Have your competition entries increased in the last year?
Are you new to online competitions and freebies?
Or would you say your Internet behaviour hasn't changed since the recession?

It's hard for me to say because I've been working in the industry and entering online prize draws & competitions for the past 7 years; I still enter at least 10 competitions every day.

I've got the hang of discount codes and 2 4 1 style vouchers and have used them for the first time within the last 2 years; I'm not sure if that's recession directed or just because I love a freebie! (I recommend the Pizza Express & Loch Fyne vouchers!)
My bf is northern through & through and will never pay for something full price, so the ease of finding a bargin now and so many companies offering free samples and prize draws has made it much easier on us the consumers to get allot more for your money.

To a degree special offers affects my life. Here's an example - I have an Orange mobile in order to get the Orange Wednesdays 2 4 1 cinema ticket offer and due to this I never ever go to the cinema on any other day.... no matter what.
I never pay to have a go on an instant win competition like the National Lotteries & Jackpot joy's because I know I can do the same for free on Instantwin4now.
And I use companies price matching promises to my advantage wherever possible!

So although my behaviour hasn't altered since the recession, it has definitely changed since finding the joys of freebies, competitions & special offers!
