I don't want to offer free entry to my Prize Draw. Can I remove this?

To ensure compliance with UK gambling legislation, the free postal entry option to enter a Prize Draw (Online Raffle) would need to remain. 

This option is visibly displayed on your shop and event pages where Prize Draw tickets are for sale.

Offering a free entry option is a requirement by the Gambling Commission that differentiates between a raffle and a prize draw, as by offering free entry and fulfilling all the criteria below, it's no longer classified as gambling.

If you run a free draw with a paid entry route, you must make sure that:

• people can choose to take part without paying
• the free entry route can be no more expensive and must be no less convenient than the paid route
• the free entry route must also be available at the normal rate. For example, you cannot use special delivery in the free route and First Class in the paid route
• the free entry route must be promoted and displayed at the same level as the paid for routes
• the choice between the free entry route and the paid entry route must be promoted so that people who want to participate can see it
• the system that determines prizes should not recognise the two routes as different.

Our platform handles all of this for you and therefore the "Free Prize Draw" is free from gambling regulation. It also complies with the ASA's Cap Code.
