The postal entries loophole means absolutely no regulation and a complete free for all, I could post up a raffle today if I felt like it, ALOT of trust is put in these companies to be acting legitimately

Just seen Becky (QueenB on YT/socials) advertising Lucky Day Comps, she was linked with DCG or Revs before wasn’t she?

Afternoon all

  • * Texts and emails ***
To be completely honest I do all this side of marketing myself. It's fun and I haven't trusted anyone else to go and do it when there's much at stake.

I've invented various promo's to email out to keep things busy.

Draw Monday
TUI/Tick Tock Tuesday (watches and holidays)
Wednesday bonus draws and auto draws ending
Thursday draw day
Friday - Freebie Friday
Saturday - Auto draws ending
Sunday bonus draws and autos ending

Which has worked great, however I have been telling myself not to ruin our list of subscribers by over using it as I also felt it was likely too much.

We'll be spreading the auto draw prizes out throughout the week so they should naturally sell out on their own, without the need for a push via email/text.

I'll ditch the freebie Friday and TUI Tuesday emails - enough people know that the free draw goes on on a Friday now.

I've also started creating more targeted segments of customers so apart from the draw day mass mail outs - I will keep other emails and texts only going to those who have shown an interest in those types of comps (or played for them.) This will drastically reduce what is being sent out.

Apologies to anyone who felt it was too much/intrusive.

@HUB - Yes there could be frequency preferences introduced. Leave it with me.
Is there a way to permanently stop the marketing emails and texts on revs? The opt out tick boxes seem to have been removed when entering draws and now you end up opted back in each time you enter one.

Odd Autos? Yeah he's brilliant, I think I've watched every video he's made!
Yeah, sorry i forgot to put the link in my post. Shows the more real side to these things although it does nothing to reduce my suspicion that there is an element of fixing going on. But i am just bitter that i haven't won a single thing! biggrin

I have a friend who won an RS3 comp and £20k in the boot on BOTB so i know lightning does strike but just now for poor me!

I've not paid for any tickets since this thread made me aware of that. I am happy to get the Emails, but I really don't need the TXTs. One of my Credit Card bills shows I spent at least £10 per week with them for the duration of one billing period. I may've spent more on another card.

I'd like the opt out from receiving TXTs option reinstated.

The text message opt out box has just reappeared this afternoon.

Yeah just noticed that. I understand the texts can generate them income but having the option stops them annoying some people. They just need to offer the same for emails again now.

My girlfriends only gone and won the white Evo 9 on Pristine Comps! Bought 10 tickets for £3.96.

Currently in a dilemma of whether to take the car and sell it on, or £20k cash alternative.

The jammy sod won £20k cash on 7 days in 2022 as well!

hehe I did say it’s payment for dealing with me!

She’s gone for the cash anyway. £19k now and then the remaining £1k once she’s had a picture with the big cheque laugh

Congratulations to her but is that not a bit sneaky? I'd be expecting the full value of the win regardless of doing any promo photos for them. Is there anything in the competition t&c that says otherwise?

7 Days did exactly the same when she won the money with those. It’s how they do their marketing I guess. Show that it’s real and people do actually win laugh

If she took the car would they have given her it minus the 2 front wheels until she did their cringey photo I wonder

In the days when BOTB had their cars at Gatwick etc, they openly showed that ticket sales were at least twice the retail cost of the cars. And as someone pointed put earlier the odds on winning the National Lottery jackpot are now some 45m to 1, and apart from the ticket price having doubled, the prize fund seems to be rather lower than it used to be.

Which reminds me; are Football Pools still going?
