How to play
Entering one of our competitions takes a couple of minutes. Here is the whole journey, from signing up to getting a prize.
Create an account
Sign up with your email address. You need to be 18 or over and live in the United Kingdom or the Channel Islands. That is it: no fees, no subscription.
Pick a competition
Browse what is on and open anything that catches your eye. Each page shows the prize, the price per entry, how many entries are left, the limit per person and when it closes. Choose how many entries you would like.
Pay securely
Pay by debit card through our secure payment page, with PayPal, or straight from your site wallet if you have credit or winnings to spend. Whichever you choose, the price you see is the price you pay.
Get your ticket numbers
Your ticket numbers are allocated the moment your entry goes through, and we email you a confirmation. You can see every number you hold, any time, in My account.
Instant wins
Some competitions carry instant win prizes. The winning ticket numbers are decided by the system and locked in before a single entry is sold, so nobody here picks them. If one of your numbers is an instant winner, the prize is yours there and then, and you stay in the main draw as well.
The draw
Automatic draws are run by the system the moment the competition closes, from a sealed commitment published at close, so the result is fixed at that point and nobody can change it afterwards. Live draws happen on our Facebook stream, where the winning number comes from a random number generator running on camera.
Every draw can be checked on our results page, and how our draws work explains the proof in full.
Winning
Cash prizes go straight into your winnings balance, which is yours to withdraw or to spend on more entries. Physical prizes are delivered free of charge within the United Kingdom. Site credit prizes are for entries only and can’t be withdrawn.
Or enter free by post
Every competition can also be entered free on an unenclosed postcard. Postal entries go into the same prize pool as paid ones, with the same chance of winning, and are added to your account just like an online entry, so write your account email on the card. The details are on each competition’s page, and the full route is explained on our free postal entry page and in the terms and conditions.
