FREE - football, rugby, and cricket balls

My guess is a lot of us won't get our free stuff, even if they were legitimate wins :rolleyes:

Hopefully not, but yeah I can see it coming.

Was probably already being exploited elsewhere anyway.

Happy · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:07

They have fixed it now, the URL no longer works

fini · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:08

They've fixed it - exploit URL doesn't work any more! That was fast!

RichIbizaSport · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:08

It does work still. Just had 2 rugby balls and a football. But really want a cricket ball for the dog

Well maybe, but you have to admit it was (1) not exactly hard to figure out and (2) extremely sloppy on Mars' behalf. I'm guessing any publicity is good publicity. Mars only needed to restrict it by IP and they'd have been much better off. Allowing the URL to be used no matter what without need for a referrer or unique code was a bit of a daft move, too.

Besides I only got 1 of each type of ball for members of my family - many of them didn't win anything! I also only used genuine codes

But yeah, anyone who uses the exploit to get tons of balls just deserves to lose out, and will probably mess it up for the rest of us. We'll see.

fini · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:09

Try again Rich - think it's been fixed in the last minute or so.

Alex_6n2 · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:10

URL exploit still works for me....

RichIbizaSport · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:10

lol still working for me!

Happy · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:10

Well I 'actually' tried 105 times so I deserve the easy road for one prize...

^^ I cleared my cookies, browsing history etc and then tried again and it didn't work.

Yeah, not blaming you

Rainmaker · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:12

Actually, those using the exploit - have you received emails to say you won the ball it told you? I've got several emails (from genuine wins) but the extra rugby ball from the exploit test didn't send me any email. I think it makes it look like you've won but doesn't action it?? Anyone confirm?

Trust OcUK - we're more interested in the exploit than the free stuffs lol

Ahhh, i think your right. I've only got the first email confirming my win of the football

No rugby ball for me

Happy · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:14

^^ Oh I guess I didn't win then :/

CaseyChaos · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:14

3rd email address and no win, how have people entered 90-100 times? I did at 11pm and now 1am, surely that's the next day and it won't let me.

Alex_6n2 · 1 Jun 2009 at 01:14

Ah. Oh well. 1 free ball is enough
