Different client different IP adress. Doubt it'll be a problem.

Mate, this is Guru3D.com .....
The reason is that we do not have one competition but eight, with multiple prizes. In total I have to contact close to 20 winners in week one of 2015. I do not want to email each person, then wait on an response and then sort out your shipments.
Winners will be picked, I have the address info at hand and can forward that for shipping. As mentioned in the contest pages we do NOTHING with your info. If you however feel uncomfortable with submitting that data, then don't. The other contestants will definitely love you for that choice.
But if you do not believe me, by all means don't enter the competition.
Merry Christmas

Since i already just won the GTX980 G1 Gaming i'll leave this one to you guys.
Again great give away as usual here @ Guru3d.
Good luck to all those "real people" who entered.
Have a Merry Xmas all.

I've beleive you made a mistake in the above so I corrected it for you.
Although that's something you didn't know and I just keep getting astonished that people in today's mass marketing, Facebook/Google, post-Snowden time are still that trusting. Oh well.
It amazes me too that in times like these people still trust in reputable sites such as Guru3D. Cmon man, apply a bit of common sence. This is Guru3D, not facebook!
Now cheer up or Santa will find out you've been a naughty boy and wont give you that 290x.
Out of interest... did you submit your details and enter the competition?

As for the personal info issues. I was among the winners of the 2011 christmas contest. I provided all info as required to enter the contest. To date, nothing negative has happened as a result. All that happened due to me providing the requested information is I received a kickass memory kit. For me, it was both a Christmas and birthday present from G3D/G.Skill as the kit arrived on my birthday.
These contests kick ass and it's amazing that Hilbert manages to do this year after year.
@Hilbert - Thanks for another year of great reviews, a great forum and a great Christmas contest.
@everyone else - For those that enter the contest, good luck, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
If they're all on the same network, using the same internet connection, they'll all have the same IP address.

Found it as well, GL to all!

Hilbert's last response was "not a problem", but I'm not sure if that was approval for them to enter as well or not. I'd PM him and ask for further clarification just to be safe.

Yea that's cheating the system mate. You need to use a different ip or you will get disqualified if he finds identical IP address.
It's not a problem having your family join in and then if they want to give the prize over to you then that's their business. Only if they sign up from their own home address.
So basically 1 entry from 1 address.
It's also a bit slimy if you ask me, since you are using others to gain an advantage in winning a competition. Why don't you just do as everyone else does and have 1 entry?
Reddoguk
Why would you even need to ask then if it was not for you?
If all family members want it for themselves and say 4 people entered from the same address then that is up to you to prove to HH and it's down to HH to decide if it's legit.
Not saying you are trying to pull a fast one but trust me people will do all sorts of scams to try to win things.
I think it should be one house one entry and then if you win you can draw straws or something. That way would be a lot simpler for HH to deal with.
I don't think HH has the time to look into these matters, especially over the Christmas period.

Guys, if the winner IP is suspicious, we'll always look into it and make a decision based on our findings. Let's not make this thread a discussion that isn't needed.
Back on topic plz.
