Our standards

We run competitions the way we'd want to enter them. Here's exactly how we keep things fair, protect players, and stay open, aligned with the UK DCMS Voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators.

Fairness

  • Provably-fair draws. Every winner is drawn with a commit-reveal method you can check yourself, no need to trust us. We publish a locked commitment before a competition closes and reveal the seed after, so anyone can recompute the result. Verify a draw →
  • Guaranteed winners. Every competition is drawn on its closing date whether or not it sells out. We never cancel a draw or shrink a prize because sales were low.
  • Clear odds. The number of tickets and how many have sold is shown on every competition, so you always know your chance of winning.
  • Skill-based, not gambling. Entry requires correctly answering a genuine skill question, which, together with the free route below, keeps our competitions lawful and outside gambling law.

Player protection

  • 18+ only. You must be 18 or over and a UK resident to enter. We check age at sign-up and before any prize is paid.
  • Limits & breaks. Every competition has a maximum number of entries per person, so no one can spend without limit. Want a spending limit or a break from entering? Contact us and we’ll set it up. Responsible play →
  • No pressure. We don’t use fake scarcity, countdown pressure tricks or “guaranteed win” claims. Honest odds, honest prizes.
  • A free route, always. You can enter any competition free by post with exactly the same chance of winning, no purchase necessary. Free entry route →

Transparency & accountability

  • Winners published. Every draw is live-streamed and every winner is published (name and town, unless they ask us not to) in our winners archive. See winners →
  • Prompt payment. Every prize is tax-free cash, paid straight to the winner's UK bank account, usually within a few working days of the draw. The prize amount is shown up front on each competition.
  • We publish this page. We set out our fairness and protection measures openly, review them regularly, and expect any partners to uphold them too.
  • Your data. We are the data controller and handle your data under UK GDPR. We publish the third-party providers we use. Our sub-processors →
