Yes, provided they include a free entry option (which we do on every competition). Online prize draws that include a free route to entry are legal under UK law and don’t require a gambling licence. At Gaming Giveaways, every competition has a free postal entry method clearly listed in its terms.
Every winner is selected in a live draw or Auto draw, broadcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitch. We use a random ticket selection tool on screen, visible to everyone watching, and pick the winning ticket live. There are no pre-selected winners and no off-camera draws. If you can’t watch live, the draw is saved to our YouTube channel. Our Auto Draws are double blind and the seed is randomly generated via a random event on our site.
Each competition has its own ticket limit. The maximum is always shown on the competition page alongside the total ticket pool, so you can calculate your own odds before you enter. There’s no pressure to buy the maximum. Even one ticket is a genuine chance of winning.
Yes. Every competition on the site has a free postal entry route. Full details, including the address and what to include in your entry, are in the terms and conditions of each individual competition. Postal entries are included in the draw on exactly the same basis as paid entries.
We aim to contact winners within a few hours of the draw. Physical prizes are typically delivered within 7 days. Cars take a little longer due to logbook and transfer admin, but we handle all of that. Cash prizes are paid directly to your bank account and usually clear within 3–5 working days.
Instant win competition prizes are available to win for the duration the main prizes is open for entries for. If your ticket number matches the randomly generated number next to an instant win prize, you win, instantly! Our instant wins are now AUTOMATED and you’ll be emailed immediately asking for confirmation of your details so we can ship to you that week. You’ll also still be up for the chance to win the main prize draw with that very same ticket!
After our live draws, auto draws and instant win competitions we post the winners into the Comp Results page of our website.
Most competitions (particularly cars and watches) include a cash alternative. This means the winner can choose to take a cash payment instead of the physical prize. The cash value is always listed on the competition page. It’s there because we know the prize isn’t right for everyone, and we’d rather the winner actually benefit.
We do now accept Paypal orders! We’ve listened to you and are please to be able to offer you more ways to enter our competitions.
