 * I just wanted to provide feedback to all of you posting here. I have the premium
   version of the plugin installed.
 * I have customized it, and fully automated the registration to my site and the
   entry to the contests I create. I am doing it on a large scale for a sizable 
   client as well, and it is working like a dream!
 * I had issues with the emails at first, I installed and use Sendgrid as my provider,
   works better, do not rely on your site PHP email to work, those are getting blocked
   by or considered spam often now.
 * Pay attention to how you configure the contest timings versus your actual server
   time. Don’t assume that they are the same. I created a servertime.php page that
   tells me my actual server time, you should use your server time on all the timers,
   etc. Not the actual time in your timezone!
 * Many issues automated winners revolve around that fact. Set your winner announcements
   to the same time as the end of your contest when testing. That is best.
 * I have added some great features to the plugin, I have some suggestions I will
   reach out with later, but keep up the great work!

 * P.S. – I added a redirect to a custom page I created. A “THANK YOU” page if you
   will. So, when a user finishes the entry, instead of the normal screen, they 
   get redirected to the thank you page.

 * Hi [@jasonbrogdon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonbrogdon/), thank 
   you for your feedback.
 * Yes, the timing part is the most difficult to get around. I am using the GMT 
   offset used in WordPress General settings, but that might not be correct all 
   of the time.
