The mechanics

How it works.

A skill-based prize competition under UK law. No purchase necessary. Verifiable draws. Hand-delivered prizes.

i.

Choose your competition

Each lot is a single, sourced item — verified, unworn, supplied with original papers and warranty. Browse the live competitions and pick the one you'd like to enter.

ii.

Answer the skill question

Every entry requires a correct answer to a question of skill, knowledge, or judgement. This is what makes ours a competition rather than a lottery under UK law. Incorrect answers are excluded from the draw and refunded in full.

iii.

Enter — paid or postal

Pay securely via Stripe, or enter free of charge by post. Both routes are afforded equal weight in the draw. There is no advantage to entering paid over postal — the only difference is convenience.

iv.

The draw

When entries close, the winner is selected by cryptographically random selection over the pool of valid entries. The random seed and a SHA-256 hash of the entry list are published immediately afterwards, so anyone can verify the draw was conducted fairly.

v.

Hand-delivered

Winners are notified by email and phone within seven days. Prizes are hand-delivered by appointment within the United Kingdom, or shipped fully insured.

No purchase necessary

Free postal entry, every time.

UK law requires a free entry route for prize competitions. Every single one of ours has one — properly advertised, equal weight, no second-class treatment. If you'd rather not pay, you don't have to.

Verifiable

Every draw can be checked.

For each completed competition we publish:

Anyone can confirm the draw by recomputing the hash and the modular reduction. The entire process is deterministic — given the seed and the entry list, the same winner is selected every time.

Common questions

Things people ask.

Is this gambling?+
No. UK skill-based prize competitions sit under Schedule 11 of the Gambling Act 2005, distinct from lotteries. The mandatory skill question is what makes the difference: a correct answer is required for entry to be valid. Lotteries don't require skill.
Who can enter?+
UK residents aged 18 or over. Specific eligibility is set out in the terms and conditions for each individual competition.
What if my answer is wrong?+
Incorrect answers are excluded from the draw and refunded in full. You don't pay to enter incorrectly.
What if the competition doesn't sell out?+
The draw still goes ahead on the closing date with whatever valid entries have been received. Sell-out isn't a requirement.
How are prizes delivered?+
By appointment, hand-delivered within the United Kingdom, or shipped fully insured to your preferred address.
What happens to my personal data?+
We collect only what's needed to administer the competition, contact the winner, and meet legal obligations. Read our privacy policy for full details.
