Responsible Play
Our competitions should always be a bit of fun. If it ever stops being fun, help is available - and there's always a free way to enter.
How we keep it fair
- 18+ only. You must be 18 or over and in the UK to enter. We may ask you to verify your age.
- A free entry route, always. Every competition can be entered for free by post with the same chance of winning - no purchase necessary. See Free Entry.
- Skill, not chance. Entry needs a correct answer to a skill question, and main winners are picked provably fairly - see how winners are picked.
- Entry limits. Every competition caps the number of tickets one person can hold, to keep spending in check.
- Set your own spend limits. You can set a weekly and monthly cap in your account. Lowering a limit applies instantly; raising or removing one takes 24 hours - so you always stay in control.
- Only spend what you can afford. Never chase losses or spend money you need for other things.
Signs it might be a problem
It may be time to take a break or seek support if you're spending more than you can afford, chasing losses, hiding how much you play, or it's affecting your mood, work or relationships. If any of that sounds familiar, the organisations below can help - free and in confidence.
