Automatic Sweepstakes Entry - Who gains, Who loses

EZ Sweeps is one of several sites that promotes automatic sweepstakes entry for sweepstakes enthusiasts. At first it may seem like a great concept -- have someone else do all the dirty work of filling out entry forms while you reap the benefits -- but this is not always the case. The websites who host these sweepstakes do so for a good reason -- to give users an incentive to visit their website. If the entries are being submitted by an automatic entry system which runs from an independent source, then the website is not benefiting from the sweepstakes. Also, some websites who are victims of the automatic entry systems end up getting spamed with incomplete entries, as not all entry forms are alike, which not only causes problems for the website hosting the sweepstakes, but voids the entry for the user. There are a few automatic entry programs that circumvent any of these issues, while still giving the user the advantage of saving time on their sweepstakes entries. Make sure to get as much information as possible before signing up for any of these programs.
