Banksy - No Ball Games (GREEN)

[snausages]

i feel we need to be honest and talk about

Let's not get too dramatic about it. I entered I won last time, that's luck for you, no tricks. But hopefully POW checks against double names. Surely something would look odd to them when phony made up name "John Doe" or whatever wins but then the print gets shipped to Bob Smith. And hopefully they do some kind of cross check against duplicate names, even though there may be some legitimate duplicate names.

But really I don't see the point in getting wound up in conspiracy theories. If you get lucky you get lucky, if not life goes on.

i hope the list opens back up. I along with 8 others from my office registered but with the same IP's. Now I don't believe it was confirmed either way that was a problem but I'd rather be safe. Did anyone get to the bottom of that to find out if same IPs will be excepted or not. If that's the case I would definitely sign up more time.

[Gentle Mental]

I wish I wouldn't but, unlike you, I had no luck for 4 highly dramatic years.... you'd need to be my shoes...

you lucky, lucky thing...

i'm going to the corner and do a little pre-disappointment sobbing.

POW confirmed that the same IP is fine the only thing they will be checking is similar or same names and address , But in saying that around 12 people entered from my work and no one won.

I only used my personal email as it says multiple entries will be deleted. Didn't want to risk my work as well. Not hard to tie the two up.

I would not worry too much about that as people may have different changed their email address in 6 months i.e [e-mail] now [e-mail] so i think it would only be an issue if u try and buy two!

[rdl81]

....i.e they check the delivery addresses and payment details etc

[idris]

Two questons; why can't I find anything on the POW site re Banksy Registration - only info to go by is the link contained on this thread (1st post) & also, POW normally send an email to registered users with a heads up of what's happening; again, there was no email re the Banksy Registration.

Any ideas anyone?

[rdl81]

check the notice board on POW homepage

[geoffw]

Entered...lets see what happens.

[bazzj04]

really hope to get this

[Silentbill]

Cheers to OP for posting link, just registered. Best of luck to all the forum, lets hope the members from here get them so they end on on walls and not ebay.

[Martin Whatson]

fingers crossed!

It's hilarious really. It clearly says in the T's and C's: "DO NOT re-enter your email" yet so many still say "I've re-entered, in case I put the wrong email address before"....COME ON!!!!

Does anyone think they can possibly have not entered the right address the first time??? Really?

fess up... he/she who won the donut with multiple accounts - for your conscience's sake, fess up

so we know it's possible...

i had one entry, and that felt so so so hopeless. and i'm pretty darn sure the thing ain't kosher..

i mean, if someone would spend weeks, day and night, non-stop F5'ing just to catch a glimpse of the ADD TO BASKET button, multiple accounts is nothing...


sorry to open up this can of worms, but i feel we need to be honest and talk about it, we have time to kill, and must admit the temptation is great...

Not quite sure how you would do it properly given that you have to provide a name when you register. Perhaps they can't weed out multiples where your name is John Smith but for most people it would be pretty obvious (and a quick check of IP would confirm, yeah I know they said last time that they didn't check IP but if there were lots and lots of possible duplicates then that would be the route I would go down if I was POW).

If you put in a fake name then it would be relatively easy to weed out at the checkout given that you would have to provide a name and a credit card withthe name at that stage.

All in all probably not worth the risk.

NO! it clearly says....... "you DO NOT have to register again." if you do you then get a message saying you have already entered which would mean no harm done and good luck.

[Nico]

or it could mean..."you fuckers tried again...you're fucked!"

[howies]

In reality you could probably enter one hundred plus times as you only need a fake name and matching gmail account but if you win it will look at bit dodgy paying and sending to a completely different name,

[Nico]

Let's just be patient and wait for father christmas...he'll come as usual, and I was good this year. ;P

[hollie]

Just got an email from Dora:

"If you won last time your email address will be removed form this draw so you may want to apply again..."

So now we know.

[hollie]

...but then I just tried to add my email and it said it had already been added?! Oh now I'm REALLY confused.

[afroken]

If you win you get an email to a payment page which is pre-polutated with the name you registered with. I suspect that if you try to change the name it will raise suspicions and it will be checked against the rest of the database. I would suggest that entering with fake names is a bad idea.

Don't worry Hollie, I won last time and re-entered my details having read your post and was told my details were already registered, so I think POW may be confused.

Bottom line is, you've gotta be in it to win it and if there is no risk of being penalised by registering again and checking your details are logged, then it's clearly worthwhile.

[hollie]

All very true sundowner.... good luck everyone!!

[bucky]

Same I won last time and tried to reenter my details and it said it was already added , so not sure what to do

[Nico]

eerrrr.....nothing?

[Happy Shopper]

I wonder if they'll do this draw first... then not allow Green winners to enter for the Grey version? Would that be too sensible?

[bert]

When I was too slow at F5ing for Trolleys, I was absolutely gutted.
When I was too slow at F5ing for Stop and Search, I was mildly gutted.
When my ticked didn't come out of the hat for Nola, I was fine about it.
When I didn't win VLH lottery, I moved on with my life quickly
But when I didn't win the Donut lottery, I was gutted again!

What cheered me up through all of that was a good mate selling me his colour trolleys at cost...I bought him a nice xmas present to say thanks as he's a top bloke. Have entered this one and if I win I will be ecstatic and on the blower to my framer straight away. If not, c'est la vie, with some luck there will be others in the future

Good luck all!!

They can't check payment details if they still have Protx handling them.
