When you enter a sweepstakes by hand on the Web, you call up an entry form page on your Web browser, fill in the form, and hit the Submit button. Enter a lot of sweepstakes online, and you'll get a lot of practice typing your name and address over and over again. With our sweep service, you enter this information once. We take the your information and relay it directly to a number of sweepstakes Web sites. The result is the same as if you had entered the information yourself.   2. How Do You Enter Information I Didn't Give You? Many sweepstakes entry forms ask for more info beyond name, address and phone number, such as your occupation, income, etc. In most cases, this information isn't required to enter the contest.  Whenever possible, we leave those blanks... well, blank. Even when the items are required, you often get the choice of "None of the Above". In that case, we select that choice. 3. How Many Entries Will I Get? Once you're registered with our service, your information will be automatically relayed to every sweepstakes on our Current Sweeps list according to your subscription level. With our service, that's just what will happen. You will be entered as many times as the rules allow.  4. Do You Guarantee Daily Entry in All Sweeps? We send entries every day for the contests on our Current Sweeps list.  As part of our service to you, we deal with the breakdowns of the web servers of the contest-holder.  When their sites are down, we report the problem to their webmasters.  We will re-try your entries several times a day.  When their contest servers are back online, we'll resume sending your entries.   5. How Do You Select Sweeps to Enter? We're picky!   We stay away from sweepstakes sponsored by questionable enterprises such as adult sites or multi-level marketing schemes. We definitely steer clear of so-called sweepstakes that require you to pay something to claim a prize, or that require you to buy something to enter. We avoid sweepstakes whose rules specifically prohibit entry by automated means. 6. How Do I Know I'm Really Entered? Some companies, such as Publishers Clearinghouse, send an independent confirmation note directly to your e-mail address each time your entry is received. Watch your e-mail box.  When you see these messages you'll know that our sweeps service is working for you. Some contests only allow one entry per day.  If you try to enter them manually on your own after our sweeps service sent your entry, they'll send an e-mail warning that you'd already entered that day.  7. How Do I Know Which Sweepstakes I'll Enter? If you're concerned about duplicate entries, check the list on the Current Sweeps page.   Sometimes, we get mail from subscribers who say "I've been notified of winning a sweep I don't remember entering. Did you enter me?" Usually these supposed "wins" are from companies that require you to pay something for the prize! You can be sure that we never enter you into sweepstakes that require payment or that are sponsored by adult sites. 8. Can I Pick Which Sweeps I Want to Enter? Sorry, but it really isn't possible to exclude individual customers from one or more sweepstakes. Even if you don't want the top prize, it doesn't hurt to enter. You may wind up with a "consolation prize" that you can use! The worst that can happen is that you will have to refuse to accept a prize you don't want.. If there is some other reason you don't want us to enter you, please let us know. If it isn't appropriate to enter you, it may not be so for any of our subscribers. If there is a problem with a sweep, we want to know about it. 9. Can I Send in Suggestions for Sweeps? We are glad to hear your suggestions for additional sweepstakes, and will try to add as many as possible. Keep in mind, however, that for technical reasons, as well as time considerations, we may not be able to add every sweep that you suggest. Since there are only 24 hours in the day, we have to limit the number of sweeps we support to those we can actually send within that time period! 10. Can I Still Enter On-line Sweepstakes Myself? We'll only relay entries for sweepstakes you see on the Current Sweeps list, and you should not type in your own entry for these sweepstakes on any day in which they appear on the list. Feel free to enter any other contest, however. There are plenty of one-entry, short-term and trivia type of contests that we don't cover.  11. Will Sweepstakes Sites Disqualify Our Entries? Just as in the world of paper sweepstakes, the organizations that run sweepstakes get to make all the rules, so they make the ultimate determination whether or not your entry meets their eligibility requirements. We can say, however, that in order to disqualify these entries, the organizations that run the sweepstakes will first have to take extraordinary measures to identify them. Whether or not they do so depends on what they hope to achieve. We have ensured that the organizations will not be able to track the referring URL, nor seperate out your entry from anyone else. 12. Do I Need An Internet Account to Subscribe? You don't have to be a veteran Web surfer to take advantage of our sweeps service. You will, however, need an e-mail account that you can check once or twice a week. That's because almost all online sweeps require an e-mail account, and many notify the winners by e-mail, and require an e-mail confirmation before they'll award a prize. 13. Can Two Subscribers Use the Same Address? Almost every sweepstakes limits entries to one per e-mail address. Therefore, our system won't register two users with the same e-mail address. If you are sharing an e-mail address with a family member or friend, you'll have to sign up for your own e-mail account with any of the numerous providers (see 12 , above). In addition some sites limit entries to "one per household." They may even kick out entries that have the same mailing address. For that reason, it's a good idea to use a different mailing address (such as a work address) for one of the parties. 14. Will I Be Flooded With Junk e-mail? You will receive a certain amount of e-mail as a result of their participation. We can only control what we can.  Unfortunately, you may find an increase in mailings from the companies that run the contests. 15. Why Haven't I Received Any Entry Notices? Not every company sends out entry notifications.  And we have no control over who does and who does not. 18. What Do I Have to Lose? When you sign up with our sweeps service, you lose the opportunity to type your name, address, city, state, Zip code, age, phone number and e-mail address over and over again on hundreds of sweepstakes entry forms, wasting hundreds of hours on mindless, repetitive tasks. Not much of a loss, is it? So why wait? Sign up today! 19. Is there something wrong with automated entry? Some sweepstakes in the world of paper do not prohibit mechanically reproduced entries.  Many do, of course.  Many online sweepstakes do not prohibit automated entry.  If a contest's rules prohibit automated entry, we scrupulously honor that request. Our automation of your entry is indistinguishable from the entry generated by your own hand. It's clear that our customers are winning and winning big.   We play by the rules.  Does it give you an advantage?  Yes it does!     Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee the bona fides of any sweepstakes on the Internet. Sweepstakes administration is the sole responsibility of the sponsor. We make no representation, express or implied, concerning the eligibility of any entry sent to a sweepstakes via our sweeps service. Only the sweepstakes sponsor or administrator has the authority to determine whether an entry meets the eligibility requirements, as specified in the sweepstakes rules.
