RESPONSIBLE PLAY POLICY
contact info: 3for100@proton.me
Effective date: 01/08/2026
1. 3for100.com offers paid skill-based prize competitions. Although these competitions are intended to operate as prize competitions rather than regulated gambling, customers still spend money for an uncertain outcome. Participation should therefore remain affordable, controlled and recreational. The Gambling Commission notes that legitimate prize competitions must comply with the legal requirements applying to that competition format.
2. Enter for Entertainment Only
Competition entries must be treated as entertainment.
Customers must not regard entering competitions as:
a reliable way to make money;
an investment;
a solution to financial problems;
a guaranteed way to obtain a prize; or
a way to recover money previously spent.
Purchasing more entries does not guarantee a win.
3. Monthly Entry-Spend Limit
Each person may spend no more than £250 in total on paid Competition entries during each calendar month.
The limit:
Applies across all paid Competitions operated through 3for100.com.
Applies per person, not merely per account.
Cannot be increased by creating additional accounts or using different email addresses, devices, payment methods or personal details.
Resets automatically at the beginning of each calendar month.
Operates alongside any lower entry limit displayed on an individual Competition page.
Prevents further paid entries once the customer has reached the £250 monthly limit.
Where a cancelled Competition is fully refunded, the refunded amount may be restored to the customer’s monthly allowance after the refund has been processed and recorded.
Attempts to bypass the monthly limit may result in rejected purchases, cancelled entries, refunds, account suspension or exclusion from the platform.
4. One Attempt Per Competition
Each person receives one attempt at the qualifying question for each Competition.
If the answer is incorrect:
no payment will be taken;
no ticket or entry will be issued;
the customer will not receive another attempt for that Competition; and
the customer may still attempt other Competitions.
Customers must not create or use another account, identity, email address, device or payment method to obtain another attempt.
The one-attempt rule is intended to prevent repeated attempts and encourage customers to consider their answer carefully before entering.
5. Spend Only What You Can Afford
Before purchasing an entry, customers should consider their essential financial commitments, including:
rent or mortgage payments;
household bills;
food and essential travel;
debts and credit commitments;
family responsibilities; and
savings requirements.
Customers must not use money required for essential living costs.
Customers should not borrow money, use unaffordable credit or enter competitions in an attempt to solve financial difficulties.
6. Signs That You Should Stop or Take a Break
A customer should stop entering and review their participation where:
spending is increasing beyond what was planned;
entries are being purchased impulsively;
they are trying to recover previous spending;
they are hiding their spending from other people;
participation is causing anxiety, stress or conflict;
participation is affecting work, finances or relationships;
they are borrowing money to enter; or
they feel unable to stop.
Gambling-related behaviour can contribute to financial, physical, mental-health and relationship harms. NHS support is available for people experiencing these types of difficulties.
7. Voluntary Account Restriction or Exclusion
Customers may ask 3for100.com to:
close their account;
block further paid entries;
apply a temporary cooling-off restriction;
apply an indefinite voluntary exclusion; or
stop promotional communications.
Requests should be sent to:
Responsible Play email: [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]
The request should be sent from the email address registered to the customer’s account.
We may request reasonable information to confirm the customer’s identity and prevent another person from restricting or closing their account without permission.
Once a voluntary exclusion has been applied, the customer must not:
create another account;
use another person’s account;
enter using different personal details;
ask another person to enter on their behalf; or
attempt to bypass the restriction using another device or payment method.
We will take reasonable steps to identify and block attempts to bypass an exclusion.
Self-exclusion is a recognised method of asking a business to prevent further participation for a defined or indefinite period.
8. Reopening a Restricted Account
A permanently closed or excluded account will not be reopened automatically.
Where a temporary restriction has expired, we may require the customer to:
contact customer support;
confirm that they wish to restore access;
complete an appropriate waiting period; and
confirm that they understand the applicable spending controls.
We may refuse to reopen an account where there are reasonable concerns about customer welfare, attempted circumvention, fraud or platform safety.
9. Marketing and Notifications
Customers may withdraw promotional consent at any time.
Where a customer requests exclusion or closure, we will take reasonable steps to stop marketing communications associated with the account.
Essential administrative communications may still be sent where necessary, including:
security notifications;
refund information;
complaint responses;
entry records;
winner-verification messages; and
prize-claim communications.
Web-push preferences for general winner announcements or new Competition promotions must remain optional and separately controllable.
10. Under-18s
People under the age of 18 must not create an account, purchase entries or participate in a Competition.
Parents and guardians should:
protect access to payment cards and digital wallets;
keep account passwords private;
avoid leaving an authenticated account accessible;
use device-level parental controls where appropriate; and
contact us if they suspect that a person under 18 has used the platform.
Suspected underage accounts may be suspended while age and identity are verified.
11. Support
Anyone concerned about their spending or behaviour should stop entering and seek independent help.
Support may be available through:
NHS gambling-harm services;
GamCare;
an independent debt-advice organisation;
a GP; or
a trusted friend or family member.
The NHS provides specialist support and permits people in England to self-refer to gambling-treatment services. GamCare also provides information about safer participation, self-exclusion and financial difficulties.
