Yes, the prizes are an incentive and each participant has the CHANCE to win – we clearly disclose the nature of this. A prize is not promised just for participating and I feel it is unreasonable to assume that BNA, let alone most websites would be able to promise each participant a reward at this value.

The ‘Prize’ is not a chance to to enter a competition rather in entering a competition which is a game of skill, participants have the chance to win these prizes.

As we state on this page:
“each participant has a chance to win one of these prizes”

For your interest, it is necessary to run this as a game of skill as a licensed competition needs to be registered in every state in Australia and is quite expensive and would make it difficult to conduct this at all.

I respect your choice not to take part. In our 2010 survey where no prizes were offered the published results were downloaded over 10,000 times in 18 months so in my view, many found value even though there was no incentive.
