Bulk Entering Strategies UK: High-Volume Comping That Actually Works

▍Bulk Entering Strategies UK: High-Volume Comping That Actually Works

Bulk entering strategies are the volume philosophy of UK comping. You accept slightly worse per-entry odds in exchange for sheer throughput — 100, 200, even 500 entries in a session, mostly into open online prize draws, daily-entry promos and big social comps where the field is large but each entry costs you 5-15 seconds. Done badly, it's a waste of an evening. Done well, it's a legitimate comping strategy that wins more prizes in absolute terms than any other approach.

This guide covers when bulk comping UK is genuinely worth doing, the daily routines that turn it from chore into 30-minute habit, the auto-fill and template tooling that gets you to 20 entries per minute, the daily-entry comps that compound your odds across a promotion's run, the maths of "100 entries at 0.1% odds vs 10 entries at 5% odds", and the mistakes that quietly disqualify bulk comping sessions wholesale.

For the opposite philosophy — fewer, more careful entries into low-entry comps with materially better odds per entry — see our low entry competitions strategy guide. The two posts are intentionally paired. Most experienced UK compers run a mix of both lanes, and reading both lets you choose your own split.

▍What bulk entering actually means

Bulk entering is the practice of submitting a high volume of competition entries in a session, typically using auto-fill, browser extensions, batched workflows and a saved details template to keep per-entry time below 20 seconds. The aim is throughput. You're not trying to wrestle better odds out of any single comp — you're playing the law of large numbers, where 100 lottery tickets at 0.01% each will, on average, win more than 5 lottery tickets at 0.2% each (1.0% expected wins vs 1.0% — wait, that's actually equal, which is exactly the point we'll come back to).

A typical bulk comping session looks like:

• Open the Sweepzy competition tracker, filtered to comps closing soon, sorted by entry method.
• Work through quick-form web entries (name, email, postcode) using auto-fill. 5-10 seconds each.
• Move to social comps that require a follow + like + comment. 15-30 seconds each.
• Hit any daily-entry comps already on your bookmarked list. 5-15 seconds each.
• Knock out 50-150 entries in 25-40 minutes.
• Log the session in your tracker.

Done four or five times a week, bulk compers rack up 500-1,500 entries per week. Per-entry win rate is genuinely low — 0.01% to 0.5% for most online prize draws — but the totals add up. A few wins a month, mostly small (vouchers, samples, merch), occasionally meaningful (a TV, a holiday, cash). Bulk comping won't make you rich. It will reliably win you things if you do it consistently and don't make the disqualification mistakes that wipe out half the bulk-comping community's entries every week.

▍When bulk entering is the right strategy

Bulk works in specific situations. It's a worse strategy than low-entry comping for most of your hours, but there are well-defined slots where it dominates.

When bulk wins

• You have spare phone-time. Bus journeys, kettle-boiling, ad-break minutes. Five-minute pockets where you'd otherwise scroll. Bulk comping turns these into entries at near-zero opportunity cost.
• Entry-limit-free comps. When a comp explicitly allows unlimited daily entries (rare but real), bulk is the right answer.
• Daily-entry promos. Comps that allow one entry per 24 hours over a 30-day run effectively become 30 entries for the same prize. Compound your odds by entering every day.
• Big-prize lottery shots. A £50,000 prize with 250,000 entries is a worse per-entry deal than a £500 prize with 1,000 entries, but the absolute upside is huge. Spending 30 seconds on a Ferrari giveaway is rational even at 1-in-500,000 odds because the upside is so large.
• You're new and learning. First 6-8 weeks of comping, bulk is fine. It exposes you to many comp formats, builds the habit, and the occasional small win keeps you going.
• Topping up a low-entry strategy. Most successful UK compers do both. Bulk for variety and lottery shots; low-entry for the wins.

When bulk loses

• You have an hour at a desk. Spending an hour bulk-clicking 200 social comps returns less than spending the same hour entering 20 careful low-entry comps. Don't waste sit-down time on bulk.
• You're entering ineligible comps. A US-only comp is 0% odds for a UK entrant, no matter how fast you click. Bulk routines that don't filter by eligibility waste 30-40% of your entries.
• You're missing daily-entry compounding. If you enter 100 different comps today, you've spread thin. If you enter 50 comps and hit your 5 daily-entry promos every day for 30 days, you've concentrated effectively. Compounding > spread.
• You're sacrificing quality on skill comps. Bulk-style 10-second entries into tie-breakers and photo comps almost never win. Skill comps need the low-entry strategy treatment, not bulk.
• You're enabling disqualification. Sloppy bulk routines — duplicate entries, wrong eligibility, ignoring "one per household" — get you disqualified from comps you'd otherwise have won.

The single biggest mistake new compers make is treating bulk as the entire strategy. It isn't. It's a complement to careful low-entry comping, valuable in the right slots, wasteful outside them. The mature view is mix-of-both, with bulk taking maybe 30-50% of your weekly comping time.

▍The maths of bulk vs quality

The key calculation: how many bulk entries do you need to match the expected wins from a smaller number of high-quality entries? It's worth doing the numbers honestly because the answer surprises most compers.

Bulk vs low-entry: head-to-head maths

Where bulk genuinely wins: daily-entry compounding

Let's redo the maths for a daily-entry comp that bulk handles well.

A national supermarket runs a 30-day £10,000 grocery voucher draw. One entry per email per day allowed. 100,000 total entries across the 30 days (so ~3,300 per day average).

If you enter once: 1/100,000 odds = 0.001% chance. If you enter every day for 30 days: 30/100,000 = 0.03% chance — 30x improvement.

Multiply this across 10 daily-entry comps you've bookmarked, and you've added 300 entries to your monthly total at essentially zero per-entry effort beyond the first bookmarking session. Daily-entry comps are where bulk comping mathematically dominates because they let you compound your odds in the same comp without the diminishing returns of "yet another open-and-close one-off prize draw".

The takeaway: bulk works hardest when concentrated on daily-entry promos and big-prize lottery shots, not when spread across hundreds of different one-shot social comps. We'll come back to daily-entry routines below because they're the highest-ROI form of bulk comping.

▍Setting up your bulk entering toolkit

The difference between bulk taking 90 minutes and bulk taking 30 minutes is your tooling. Five components.

1. Browser auto-fill

Every modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) has built-in auto-fill for forms. Configure it once with your full comping profile.

• Open browser settings, go to autofill or personal info.
• Add: full name, email (comping address, not your real one), phone, full address, date of birth, gender if asked.
• Test on a sample form. Confirm the right fields populate.
• For Chrome: settings → autofill → addresses. For Edge: settings → profiles → personal info.

This alone takes 80% of typing out of bulk comping. You click into a name field, the browser offers your saved profile, you accept, and 12 fields fill instantly.

2. A password manager with form-fill

1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass and Dashlane all auto-fill competition forms more reliably than browser-native fill, particularly when fields have unusual names ("first name", "forename", "given name" etc.). They also auto-fill account login credentials so you're not retyping passwords every time you log into a comp site.

Bitwarden has a free tier that handles most compers' needs. 1Password is paid (£3/month) but the form-fill is genuinely the best on the market. Either way, set up your comping profile once and you'll save thousands of keystrokes a year.

3. Text expander

For any field that needs typed-out text — tie-breaker answers, social comp comments, "how did you hear about us" questions — a text expander turns shortcuts into full phrases. Type ;tb1 and it expands to your default tie-breaker, or ;cm1 for your standard "love this giveaway, fingers crossed!" comment.

Tools: aText (Mac), PhraseExpress (Windows free), Espanso (cross-platform free), or the built-in macOS Text Replacement / Windows touch keyboard text shortcuts.

4. A bookmark folder of daily-entry comps

Build a single browser folder called "Daily Comps" containing one bookmark per active daily-entry promo. Each morning, right-click the folder and "Open all in new tabs" — every daily comp opens at once. Work through them top-to-bottom, enter, close tab, next. The bookmarked daily routine takes 10-15 minutes for 10-15 comps once you're in flow.

5. A tracker that prevents duplicates

Duplicate entries are the silent killer of bulk comping. Enter the same comp twice (because you forgot you did it yesterday) and most promoters disqualify all your entries. The Sweepzy competition tracker prevents this — it logs every entry, surfaces duplicates immediately, and shows closing dates so you don't waste effort on comps that closed yesterday. A Google Sheet works too, but only if you actually update it religiously.

With all five components configured, your per-entry time drops from 45-90 seconds to 8-20 seconds. That's the factor that makes bulk comping mathematically rational rather than a waste of an evening.

▍The 30-minute daily plan

A tight daily bulk routine that fits into commute time or a lunch break. Built for the comper who wants steady throughput without it taking over their day.

Setup (one-time, 30 min): configure browser auto-fill, set up password manager profile, install a text expander with 5-10 common phrases, bookmark 10-15 daily-entry comps in a "Daily Comps" folder, sign up for a Sweepzy free account and connect the tracker.

Daily routine (30 min):

• Minutes 0-12: Daily-entry comps. Open the bookmark folder all-tabs. Work through each daily entry — auto-fill, submit, close tab, next. 10-15 entries in 12 minutes.
• Minutes 12-22: Sweepzy quick-entry filter. Open Sweepzy tracker, filter for "web form" + "closing in 7 days" + "UK eligible". Sort by closing date ascending. Knock through 30-50 quick form entries. Skip anything that asks for more than a minute of effort.
• Minutes 22-28: Social comp pass. Open Instagram and Facebook saved-comp folders. Comment, follow, like, tag. 10-20 social entries.
• Minutes 28-30: Log and review. Confirm everything's logged in the tracker. Note any tomorrow-only comps you spotted. Close laptop.

Total entries per 30 minutes: 60-90 if you're focused. Total weekly entries (6 days/week): 360-540.

This is sustainable. It produces wins. It's not the highest expected-value-per-hour strategy (low-entry is), but it's high throughput, low cognitive load, and the variety keeps it interesting.

▍The 2-hour weekly plan

For the comper who'd rather batch into one longer Sunday session than daily 30-minute slots.

Sunday, 2 hours:

• Minutes 0-15: Curate. Open the Sweepzy tracker, filter for the week's open comps. Add new ones to your tracker. Remove ended ones from your bookmarks. Identify the new daily-entry promos worth bookmarking.
• Minutes 15-90: Bulk entry run. Power through 200-400 entries using your auto-fill toolkit. Web forms, social comps, newsletter sign-ups, brand sign-ups for comp newsletters. Pace yourself — 75 minutes of focused entry is mentally tiring.
• Minutes 90-105: Daily-entry setup. Set up the next week's daily routine. Bookmark daily-entry comps. Set phone reminder for daily 15-minute slot.
• Minutes 105-120: Log and review. Tracker tidy-up. Note any anomalies (rejected entries, comps you can't find). Review last week's wins.

Daily during the week (5 min): open daily-entry bookmark folder, blitz through dailies. 5-15 entries per day.

Total weekly entries: 200-400 (Sunday batch) + 35-105 (dailies) = 235-505 entries/week.

The 2-hour-Sunday approach works better than 30-min-daily if your weekdays are unpredictable (childcare, shift work, long commutes). You front-load the cognitive cost. Daily commitment becomes near-zero.

▍Prioritising daily-entry competitions

This is where bulk comping mathematically dominates the other strategies. A daily-entry comp lets you enter once per 24 hours for the duration of the promo — often 14-90 days. Every day you enter is another lottery ticket in the same draw. Skip days and you forfeit that entry forever.

Identifying daily-entry comps

Look for language like:

• "One entry per person per day"
• "Daily entries permitted"
• "Multiple entries allowed, one per 24-hour period"
• "Enter every day for an extra chance"

When you spot one, bookmark it immediately. Add it to your daily routine bookmark folder. Set a phone alarm if it has tight entry windows (some are 9am-9pm GMT only).

Reliable daily-entry sources

UK comps that consistently run daily entries:

• Newspaper websites — Sun, Mirror, Express, Daily Mail run frequent daily competitions for cash, holidays, and consumer goods.
• TV show websites — This Morning, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, Loose Women, Bargain Hunt, A Place in the Sun.
• Radio station websites — Heart, Capital, Smooth, Magic, Kiss frequently run multi-day phone-in or web-entry comps.
• Magazine websites — TV Choice, What's On TV, OK!, Heat publish daily web comps alongside their print magazine quizzes.
• Lifestyle aggregators — many UK comp sites and brand aggregators run daily prize draws on their own platforms.
• Brand instant-win games — Coca-Cola, Walkers, McDonald's monopoly app, supermarket app games often allow daily plays.

A bookmark folder of 15-20 daily-entry comps gives you a 24/7 compounding-odds machine for very little daily effort. Our daily competitions UK guide goes deeper into the specific UK sources and the routine optimisation.

The compounding maths

One entry into a 50,000-entry, 30-day daily promo for a £5,000 prize: odds 1/50,000 = 0.002%. Expected return = £5,000 × 0.00002 = £0.10.

Thirty entries into the same promo (one per day): odds 30/50,000 = 0.06%. Expected return = £5,000 × 0.0006 = £3.00.

Time: 5 minutes total across 30 days (10 sec/day with auto-fill). Expected return per minute: £0.60. That's better than nearly any other form of bulk comping and competitive with the best low-entry comps.

Multiply across 15 daily-entry comps in your routine and you're looking at expected returns of £10-£50 per week in concentrated entries that took 2-3 minutes per day. This is why daily-entry compounding is the single highest-ROI bulk strategy — it dwarfs both general bulk (one-shot social comps) and matches or beats low-entry comps for per-minute economics.

▍Time-blocking your bulk sessions

If you've never time-blocked your comping, this single habit shift improves both your throughput and your enjoyment.

• Schedule it like exercise. Block a 30-minute slot in your calendar — morning coffee, lunch break, evening wind-down. Treat it as protected time.
• Phone-only or laptop-only. Don't switch devices mid-session — context switches kill bulk throughput. Pick one device per session.
• Same place every time. Habit forms faster with environmental triggers. Comping at the kitchen table after breakfast becomes automatic within 2-3 weeks.
• Cap the session length. 30-45 minutes is the sweet spot. Beyond 60 minutes, mental fatigue ramps up error rates (duplicate entries, eligibility mistakes, missed details).
• No social media mid-session. Twitter/Instagram for fun is fine, but checking your personal feed mid-comping breaks flow and tanks throughput. Put your personal phone in another room if needed.

The compers who manage 500+ entries/week without burning out are nearly all using a time-blocked routine. The compers who try to comp in random 90-second pockets across the day rarely break 100 entries/week and often quit within 6 months.

For more on building a sustainable comping habit, see our comping routine and time management guide.

▍Batching by source and entry method

Every time you switch entry methods (web form → Instagram → newspaper site → email), you lose 15-20 seconds to context switching. Multiply by 100 entries and you've lost 30 minutes a session for no benefit. Batching by source or method recovers this lost time.

Batch by entry method

Do all your web-form entries in a block, then all your Instagram entries, then all your Facebook entries, then all your email entries. Your fingers settle into the rhythm of each format. Auto-fill flows. Browser tabs accumulate consistently.

Batch by aggregator

Work through every comp on the Sweepzy tracker's current-week list before opening another source. Then move to your bookmarked daily folder. Then check brand newsletters. Then social. Don't jump between sources mid-session.

Batch by closing date

Sort comps by closing date ascending. Enter today-closing comps first, then tomorrow, then this-week. This stops you forgetting urgent comps because you got sidetracked on a fun one closing next month.

Batch by prize category if it matches your interests

For compers focused on a specific prize type (only beauty hampers, only family days out, only holidays), batching all your beauty-only comps in one block keeps your thematic answers ("my favourite skincare brand is…") fresh in your head.

Batching is unglamorous but it's probably the single biggest throughput multiplier in bulk comping. Most compers ignore it because it requires planning the session before you start. Build the planning into your weekly 2-hour or daily 30-minute setup and you'll never go back.

▍Common bulk-comping mistakes that disqualify you wholesale

These are the mistakes that quietly wipe out half the bulk-comping community's entries every week. Get serious about avoiding them.

1. Duplicate entries

Entering the same comp twice — because you forgot you did it yesterday, or because you're using both your phone and your laptop — gets you disqualified from most UK comps. Some promoters quietly drop the duplicate; many disqualify all your entries to that comp; a few add you to a blocklist for future promotions. Use a tracker. Always.

2. Entering ineligible comps

UK comps often have geographic restrictions (UK only, England only, mainland UK only, excluding Northern Ireland). Some are age-restricted (18+, 25+, 35+, retiree-only). Some are customer-only (Tesco Clubcard members, John Lewis cardholders). Bulk-clicking through a comp without checking eligibility means 30-40% of your entries are auto-rejected and you've wasted that time. Filter by eligibility in your aggregator before bulking.

3. Wrong contact details

If your auto-fill puts an old email or address into entries, every win notification goes into the void. Audit your auto-fill profile quarterly. Make sure your comping email is the active one. Use your current postal address. Use a phone number you actually answer.

4. Missing claim windows

Most wins have a 7-28 day claim window. Bulk compers entering 500 comps a week sometimes miss notifications because their comping email is buried. Set up email filters to flag any "congratulations" or "you've won" subject lines, and check your comping inbox daily even when you're not entering.

5. Ignoring "one per household" rules

Many UK comps restrict to one entry per household IP address. Bulk compers with multiple devices on the same wifi sometimes accidentally double-enter — or split-household compers (parent + adult child both comping from the same address) both enter the same comp and both get disqualified. Read the T&Cs once per comp source so you know the rules.

6. Skill-comp bulk attempts

Bulk-style 10-second entries into tie-breakers and photo comps almost never win. The judges can see you didn't try. Skill comps belong in your low-entry strategy, not your bulk routine. If you spot a comp that requires a creative element, either commit to it properly or skip it.

7. Using bots or scrapers

Automated bots that submit forms without human input are against the T&Cs of essentially every UK comp. Get caught (and promoters do catch them) and you're banned for life from the brand's draws. The browser auto-fill, password manager and text expander tools we've described are fine — they assist a human entering manually, which is allowed. Anything that submits without you clicking is not.

8. Not maintaining account hygiene

Bulk comping means signing up to dozens of brand sites every month. Use unique passwords (password manager handles this). Use 2FA where offered. Use a dedicated comping email so the marketing emails don't drown your real inbox. Periodically (every 3-6 months) unsubscribe from brands you've stopped caring about.

For the broader "why aren't I winning despite all the entries" diagnosis, our why competition entries are invalid post covers the most common rejection reasons.

▍Bulk on social media specifically

Social comps (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads) are the bread-and-butter of bulk routines because they're high-volume, low-effort, and aggregated daily by every comp listing site.

Instagram comps

Typical mechanic: follow + like + comment + tag friends. With practice, an Instagram comp takes 15-20 seconds:

• Tap follow.
• Double-tap to like.
• Tap comment, type a brief comment from your text expander ("love this! fingers crossed 🤞"), tag three handles you've saved as quick-access (a friend's main account, a family member, a comping-buddy who reciprocates).
• Hit post.
• Swipe back to feed.

The trick is having a roster of 3-6 willing-to-be-tagged friends or family. Make sure they know you'll tag them in comps; they don't actually need to follow through and enter. If they object, switch to a comping-buddy who genuinely doesn't mind. Most UK compers have a small reciprocal-tagging group of fellow compers.

Facebook comps

Typical mechanic: like the page + like the post + comment + share (sometimes). Share-to-timeline requirements are increasingly skipped by good promoters because they violate Facebook's promotion rules; if you see one, skim before bulk-engaging.

Facebook bulk works best in groups: many UK comping Facebook groups exist where members cross-promote brand comps and tag each other in batch posts. Find a few that match your interests and join.

TikTok and Threads

Newer formats; lower entry counts but quickly growing. Most TikTok and Threads comps still have entry counts in the low thousands rather than tens of thousands, making them a near-bulk near-low-entry hybrid. Treat the same as Instagram — follow, like, comment, share if asked.

Our leveraging social media for comping post covers the platform-specific tactics in detail.

▍Bulk on web-form comps

Web-form comps (newspaper websites, brand sites, comp aggregators) are the highest-throughput bulk source. With auto-fill, each entry takes 5-10 seconds: tab to first field, accept auto-fill, hit submit, close tab.

For maximum throughput:

• Open 10-15 comp tabs at once from your aggregator.
• Work through them in order — tab, auto-fill, submit, close, next.
• Re-open the aggregator periodically to grab another batch.
• Tick a tracker checkbox per comp entered.

A practised bulk comper can do 80-120 web-form entries in 25 minutes. That's not unusual; most compers underestimate their potential throughput because they've never measured it.

▍Bulk on email-entry comps

Fewer comps use email entry these days (most have moved to web forms), but the ones that remain are bulk-friendly because you can copy-paste a template.

Setup:

• Save a generic entry template in your text expander: subject line "Entry — [Comp Name]", body "Please accept my entry into your [comp name] competition. My details: [name], [address], [postcode], [phone], [email]."
• For each email comp: open new email, paste template, edit the comp name, send.
• Some email comps want you to BCC additional addresses or include a specific keyword — read the T&Cs once and add per-comp variants to your template library.

Email entries take 30-60 seconds each. Slower than web forms but still bulk-friendly with templates.

▍How bulk compounds with daily-entry, instant-win and tie-breaker categories

Different comp categories suit different parts of a bulk routine.

• Daily-entry comps: the bulk-comping crown jewel. Compound your odds across the promo. Build a 15-20 daily-comp bookmark folder.
• Instant-win games: play daily where allowed. Some allow multiple daily attempts. McDonald's monopoly, Coca-Cola codes, supermarket app games.
• Newspaper website comps: auto-fill heavy, fast, often multiple comps per visit. 5-10 newspaper entries can be done in 3-4 minutes.
• Newsletter sign-up comps: join the newsletter, get an automatic comp entry. Bulk-sign-up to 10-20 brand newsletters and you've gained 10-20 entries with about 2 minutes of effort total. Use your comping email.
• Refer-a-friend comps: if a friend signs up using your link, you get an extra entry. Limited but stackable with bulk routines.

The right bulk routine isn't "enter everything". It's "enter everything in the high-throughput categories, and concentrate effort on daily-entry compounding". This is the difference between bulk comping that wastes your evening and bulk comping that actually wins.

▍When to switch out of bulk into low-entry

A few signals that it's time to shift the balance.

• You've been bulk-comping for 6+ weeks and won nothing. Bulk's variance means dry runs are normal, but 6+ weeks of zero wins on 1,500 entries/week probably means your comp mix is wrong (too many high-entry social comps, not enough daily-entry compounding) or you're being disqualified silently. Diagnose with your entry analytics.
• You've got 90 minutes of focused desk time. Bulk for 90 minutes returns less than low-entry comping for 90 minutes. Use the focused time on the higher-quality strategy.
• You're bored and going through the motions. Bulk burnout is real. When entry quality drops because you've stopped reading the comp rules, you're inviting disqualification. Take a week off bulk, do some careful low-entry, come back fresh.
• You're attracted to a big prize. Spend the time entering the carefully-judged tie-breaker for the £25,000 prize, not 30 more daily clicks.

The hybrid 50/50 or 70/30 (bulk/low-entry) routine that we recommend in the low entry competitions strategy guide is genuinely the right answer for most compers. Pure bulk wastes desk time. Pure low-entry wastes phone-time. Mix.

▍Measuring success: tracking your bulk results

Bulk comping rewards measurement because the per-entry odds are so low that intuition fails. You need numbers.

What to track per week:

• Total entries. Aim for 300-500 if you're committed to bulk as a primary strategy.
• Entries per minute. Should trend up over months as your tooling improves. 1-2 entries/min for new compers; 3-5 entries/min for experienced bulk compers.
• Wins (count and value). Most weeks zero. Some weeks one or two. Track over a year, not a week.
• Win rate per category. Daily-entry comps should outperform one-shot social comps. If they're not, look at your daily-comp selection.
• Disqualifications. If you're getting rejection emails or finding entries weren't logged, debug your eligibility-checking step.
• Time invested. Total weekly hours spent comping. Calculate £/hr return.

The entry analytics feature in Sweepzy does most of this automatically for tracked entries. After 8-12 weeks of consistent bulk + tracking, you'll have a clear personal answer to "is bulk actually working for me".

Most honest answers, in our experience: bulk is working better than the comper feared but worse than they hoped. The wins arrive in bursts. The total return is modest but positive. The hobby's enjoyable as long as you don't expect to get rich. That's a fair summary of bulk comping done well.

▍Combining bulk with low-entry for a complete weekly habit

A realistic weekly comping habit that uses both strategies:

• Monday-Friday morning (15 min bulk): daily-entry comps + social bulk pass. 40-60 entries each morning.
• Monday-Friday evening (20 min low-entry): 3-5 high-quality entries from your curated low-entry list.
• Saturday morning (60 min mixed): big bulk session (200+ web-form entries) + write that week's postal entries.
• Sunday afternoon (30 min curation): plan next week, update bookmarks, review wins, do brand-newsletter sign-ups.

Total: about 5-6 hours/week. Approximately 400-600 bulk entries plus 25-30 low-entry entries. The bulk handles variety, lottery shots, and daily-entry compounding. The low-entry handles the high-odds wins. Both lanes feed your tracker; both contribute to your win count.

The split is the most important strategy decision you'll make as a comper. The wrong split (pure bulk) wastes your desk time. The wrong split (pure low-entry) ignores easy phone-time entries. The right split (50/50 to 70/30 in favour of bulk by entry count but 50/50 by time) is what experienced UK compers naturally arrive at after a year or two.
