Free entry vs. paying
At the standard rate one free entry is worth what $10 of purchases gets you. We rate it on the lower of the two, because operators often run multiplier promotions.
Paid entry: 1 entry per $1 spent (pre-tax, excl. shipping/handling, less discounts)
Promotions: Bonus Entry Periods announced on site/social; mail-ins postmarked in a Bonus Entry Period get the same multiplier (write it on the back of the envelope). Review entries: 30 per review site (Google and/or Facebook), max 60; email screenshot to [email protected]
