Important free entry rules

  • One letter or postcard equals one entry
  • Multiple entries require separate letters or postcards
  • Bulk, automated, incomplete, late, damaged, duplicated or unclear entries may be rejected
  • Postage costs are the responsibility of the entrant

Equal treatment

Valid paid and valid free entries are treated equally for the relevant competition draw. A valid free entry has the same chance of winning as a valid paid entry for that competition.

Instant win games

Where a product includes instant win style ticket reveals, free entries are still processed according to the instructions for that competition. The method used to allocate or reveal results will be the same fair process applied to eligible entries for that competition.

Age and eligibility checks

We may ask winners to provide proof of identity, age and eligibility before awarding a prize.
