How to enter every UK prize draw for free

Full guide coming soon. In the meantime, the key facts are below.

Every prize draw listed on Prize Wise is a free-to-enter competition. UK consumer protection law requires operators to offer a free alternative method of entry (AMOE) — usually a postal route — that carries equal odds to a paid ticket.

The postal entry rule

To enter any UK prize draw for free, write your name and address on a postcard or plain piece of paper and post it to the operator’s registered address. Your entry must be accepted on the same terms as a paid ticket.

UKGC Voluntary Code

Operators who have signed the UKGC Voluntary Code commit to making their free entry route clearly visible on their website — not buried in terms and conditions. Prize Wise tracks Code signatory status for all 461 operators we review.
