Open My CompetitionsTool 1
Postal Entry Planner
Work backwards from the receipt deadline and save a posting record.
This is an organisational estimate, not a delivery guarantee. Check the promoter’s terms. Qualifying postal free routes ordinarily use First or Second Class, not recorded or special delivery. Read the Gambling Commission’s free-draw guidance and Royal Mail delivery guidance.
Tool 2
Winner-Message Check
Review warning signs without uploading the message or sharing personal information.
A checklist cannot authenticate a message. If you suspect fraud, stop contact and use the official reporting information from Action Fraud.
Tool 3
Competition Entry Check
Pause on the conditions most likely to affect whether an entry is suitable.
The ASA and CAP prize-draw guidance explains why entry instructions, closing dates, prizes and eligibility restrictions are significant conditions.
Tool 4
Competition Budget Tracker
Set your own monthly limit and record paid, postal and purchase-required costs.
Tool 5
Prize or Cash Worksheet
Compare the offer actually made with the likely practical value to you.
Tool 6
Wins and Claims Tracker
Keep a private record of claim deadlines and expected delivery dates.
Tool 7
Free-Trial True-Cost Calculator
See what a trial costs if it renews and record the cancellation date.
