I'm the editor and I can categorically say that I have never won any of the competitions, nor do I know of any staff that have.

Mind you, I'm not allowed to enter, per the terms and conditions.

95 per cent of prizes are shipped directly from the manufacturer, so if you so want, we'll be happy to encourage some of them to post and verify that real people do indeed win them.

Very nice competition!

Entered, but is anyone else having issues entering via Facebook? I just get redirected to the Hexus Facebook page and not the competition?

You are quite rude

Second time you have complained / made a comment about the competitions.

If you aren't going to enter and just be rude about it, how about just not posting?

Hexus and the competition sponsors don't have to put them on, but they do to give them something back to the community.

im kinda just saying since most of the names that have been said to be winners do not sound like real names. and i have never seen proof of the item by the winners from here its like other sites as well. i have only seen proof on 2 sites and that is overclockers3d and overclockers as they stat to post proof.


Disturbedguy: what you on about rude if you want rude i can be but as i ask and not demand i don't see it rude, i think most would be happy to see the item and winner but you don't see that here, it makes most people think.

kinda like if your going to be rude when one ask for something why don't you not post as you post is kinda rude itself.

yes same problem here , but it does say in the rules that is listed in the lower part of the page “1 entry per household ” . so if you enter on facebook as well does this not void your site entry/facebook entry ?

i won a NZXT PSU from a comp off here, if you look for the “Win a chassis or power supply with HEXUS and NZXT” u will see my name in 3rd place, it took around 3-4 weeks to arrive.

Be as rude as you want, doesn't effect me. Look at the names for all the competitions, if you think all of those names look fake then there is something wrong with you.

It is rude to post on competitions, solely to question the validity of them, can you not see that?

You didnt ask anything, you questioned the competition / hexus and while you were at it you threw out an accusation that Hexus staff keep the prizes for themselves.

For your information, I have entered and won a Hexus competition and was a runner up in anther, so I know that the names are real and Hexus staff don't keep the products

If you need someone to verify that prizes are sent, I'd be glad to accept the responsibility once I receive mine *hint hint*.
Posted by GuidoLS - Fri 12 Apr 2013 03:16
Entered - thanks for the opportunity, and best of luck to everyone.

Do real people win these competitions? This is the internet - if something even remotely smells bad, it will be the headline for every competing site on the web. I've certainly never seen anything remotely close to that, re: Hexus or pretty much anyone else, for that matter….

so, as they say on this side of the pond - crap or get off the pot. Make the accusation, provide proof, or let it go…

Sorry for any problems.

We're on it, folks, and will have it resolved ASAP. It's FB updating their code, as far as we can tell on first glance.

Edit: I believe it has been fixed as of 10am Friday morning.

I would still like a reply from hexus staff about the below

•Only one entry is permitted per household per entry form and winners will be notified within seven days of the competition closing date

does this mean we can enter via the site and facebook ?

Though it's not generally advisable to change/update the T+Cs when the competition is active, I have done so this time around. The entry rule now reads as thus:

Only one entry is permitted per household per HEXUS entry form and winners will be notified within seven days of the competition closing date. Second Facebook entries, if applicable, are permitted

Those are the results to the asus high end rog upgrade competition and not for This current competition to win the 7990 . The result still hasn't been posted, it's gone rather quiet and the page has disappeared from the hexus competition page, I reckon it's ended up in a staff members rig lol can't say I'd blame them :D

the winners are contacted within a week via email just like the gtx650 boost , after they have claimed/replied they update the page . not all sites post who won
