Does use of a service which fills in your information in entry forms,specifically "Last Pass"put you at risk for disqualification?Also do sweepstakes generally inform you if your entries are disqualified for any reason?Particularly in sweeps that I enter daily,where the drawing might be many weeks away I'd hate to think I was wasting that effort blindly.Sometimes in "official rules"it is stated that use of any means of automated entry is forbidden.I cannot tell from the wording whether that includes formfillers.Any feedback or reassurance would be most welcome.

When the rules state that you can't us automatic form fillers that just mean that you can't use a service that fills in and enters you in the sweeps. I have used Roboform for many years and have never been disqualified. It definitely has not stopped me from winning! Best of luck to you.
 
kevo2000 - this thread is about roboform, but lastpass is a similar program:

Roboform

It's a form filler, nothing more. Most sponsors get that and don't consider robo "automatic entry" - they are referring to "bots" or programs that enter FOR you.

lwaxana:

A "bot" is an automated program that can be used for manipulating numerous email addresses, often for purposes of fraud. Sometimes cheaters write scripts that enter contests multiple times using many different email addresses for one person. The existence of bots is one reason why so many sweepstakes sites use "Captcha" code (words, letters, or numbers that you have to type in), so that they can make it difficult for non-humans to enter.

However, some do say it is a macro, and therefore not allowed. Every person has to make the decision for themselves on whether or not to use Robo.

Hi,

1. You should check out Sweepstakes Ninja. Helps you enter according to the rules & frequencies, etc.
2. With respect to your other questions -- providing you don't try to 'abuse' the entry process (i.e., say 10,000x in one day), usually any kind of form filler will allow ppl to win prizes. I was recently had a sweepstakes convention, where it seemed the 'average' winnings was 'at least' $25,000+, and someone asked the audience basically 'who uses form fillers?', and about 75% of the people raised their hands... So if they can win that much with form fillers, etc -- then it would probably be a-ok for you too...

Cheers!

I responded to the form filler question, but forgot to address your disqualification question.

Also do sweepstakes generally inform you if your entries are disqualified for any reason?

Rarely will a sponsor DQ {DisQualify} you, much less even inform you that you were DQ'ed.

In 9 years, I've only heard of it once, when Coke Sweepstakes DQ'ed people for having more than one person from their household enter an IW, and IIRC, they emailed those DQ'ed because they had won, and it was to tell them why they were not going to get their prize.

As long as you follow the rules {entry limit, age limit, location, etc.} and enter your true and correct info, your entry will be in contention.

Even 1x entry sweeps will rarely DQ you {unless you enter excessively} they usually just discard any extra entry.

As a sweeper, as long as you comply with the rules, your entry will have the same chance as all other entries - the only thing I'd worry about is that I was entering correctly:
