How It Works

1. Choose your competition

Each competition page shows its prizes, opening and closing times and entry limit. Times marked UK follow the UK local time, including daylight saving. Coming Soon pages can be viewed before entries open.

You must be 18 or over. Check the individual competition conditions, including any residence and prize-collection requirements, before entering.

2. Enter without a purchase

Where offered on the competition page, Enter for Free lets an eligible account claim its first free entry. If you are signed out, register or sign in and complete any email verification; return to the competition, add your mobile number and choose your public winner-name format when prompted and check that the entry appears in your history.

The free postal route is explained separately and can be read without signing in. Normal postage costs apply. Use the competition title and the current postal address in the instructions; accepted postal submissions add one entry each, subject to the competition limit.

3. Track your entries

My Entries shows your total for each competition and its current status. The progress bar measures your entries against your personal limit; it is not a percentage chance of winning. A full green bar means you have reached that limit.

Where the Refer a Friend offer is shown, only the first qualifying friend who registers and enters earns the inviter one additional entry in that competition. Other friends can still register and enter normally. Sharing or following social accounts is optional.

Paid entries

Paid checkout is currently unavailable. Any displayed price packages are not an invitation to send payment by bank transfer, email or social media. When checkout becomes available, the competition and checkout screens will show the price, number of entries and applicable terms before you pay.

4. Closing and results

Entries stop at the closing time. Closing is not the same as drawing or publishing winners: Awaiting draw means results have not yet been published. Entry actions are replaced by the draw area; signed-in entrants can still see their own entry history.

An empty winner box is not a completed draw or a winning entry. Published results will be accessible from the competition page and Winners area.
