Enter free by post

You can enter by post, free of charge. A postal entry is treated exactly the same as a paid one.

What the free postal route is

Every competition that offers this route can be entered without paying. Send us a postcard with the details below and we will add your entry to the draw by hand, using the same numbered ticket pool as a paid entry.

You do not need to buy anything, now or later, and entering free of charge does not change your chance of winning.

What to put on your postcard

So that we can key your entry and check you are eligible, please include:

Your full name.
Your address, including your postcode.
Your date of birth — entries are strictly 18+, and we check every entry.
An email address we can reach you on. A phone number is optional.
The name of the competition you are entering.

One entry per postcard. If anything we need is missing we cannot key the entry, so please check the list before you post it.

Where to send it

Send your postcard to the address published with the competition you are entering:

The postal address for this competition has not been published yet — it appears here and on the competition page as soon as it is confirmed.

Please use ordinary post. We cannot accept entries by email, telephone or in person.

What happens after you post it

A member of staff keys your entry in and it takes a ticket number from the same pool as every paid entry.
We run the same eligibility checks as we do at checkout: 18 or over, and not self-excluded.
If you win we contact you directly, exactly as we would any other entrant, and the result is published in the winners archive.

The terms that apply

The full terms and conditions for our competitions — including the closing dates, the free-entry route and how entries are validated — are being finalised with our legal advisers and will be published in full before the first draw.

Nothing on this page replaces those terms. If anything here ever conflicted with them, the published terms would apply, and we would rewrite this page so that it does not.

The rules in plain English are on our rules page · questions? Contact us.
