Was doing the usual tweet, follow, comment, routines for sweepstakes and got a new message when I tried to retweet. "We do not accept entries from "throwaway" accounts." Never saw that one before. Went ahead and entered all the other ways and then went back to it and retried to retweet and it was accepted. On a different note, King Sumo constantly kicks me out if I enter more than one or two different sweepstakes. "Too many entries". Then I am unable to enter again for awhile. Have emailed them and customer service said it is hard for their system to determine if I am a real person or a bot if I enter too many sweepstakes or enter them too quickly. Just a friendly FYI.

Thanks for the info. I don't enter twitter sweeps, but I do enter King Sumo. I've never been kicked off...yet. I wonder if they are cracking down. I've been entering sweeps online almost since the beginning. It seems every so often they come up with another tool to keep the bots out.
How long until you are able to enter again? Does clearing your cache help? I wonder if they will allow you to keep entering, but wont actually count it as an entry on their end somehow because you were flagged.
<sigh> So frustrating when you follow the rules and still get DQ'd. Just because we enter sweeps doesn't mean were aren't also regular customers that use their products.
