Competition Rules

**Last updated: 12 August 2026**

1. How These Rules Apply

These Competition Rules apply to every Competition offered on 3for100.com.

They should be read with:

* our Terms & Conditions;

* the relevant Competition page;

* our Privacy Policy; and

* our Responsible Play Policy.

The Competition page will state the prize, entry price, maximum number of entries, closing information, qualifying question and any Competition-specific conditions.

2. Eligibility

Unless the Competition page states otherwise, entrants must:

* be aged 18 or over;

* be ordinarily resident in England, Scotland or Wales;

* have a valid 3for100.com account; and

* provide accurate registration and contact information.

Residents of Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and countries outside England, Scotland and Wales are not eligible unless the Competition page expressly states otherwise.

Employees of the Promoter, members of their immediate household and anyone professionally connected with administering the Competition may not enter.

We may request proof of identity, age, residential address and eligibility before confirming a prize.

3. One Account Per Person

Each person may have only one 3for100.com account.

Entrants must not use duplicate accounts, alternative identities, another person’s details or any other method to avoid entry restrictions, qualifying-question results or spending limits.

Accounts reasonably believed to belong to the same person may be linked or combined.

4. Choose How to Enter

Where shown on the Competition page, entrants may choose between:

1. **Paid Online Entry**; or

2. **Free Postal Entry**.

The free postal-entry option will be displayed alongside the paid-entry option before purchase.

A valid paid entry and a valid postal entry receive the same chance per individual entry of winning.

5. Qualifying Question and One Attempt

Every entrant must answer the qualifying question for the relevant Competition.

Each person is allowed **one qualifying-question attempt per Competition round across both the paid and postal routes**.

If the answer is incorrect:

* the entrant does not qualify;

* no paid-entry payment will be taken;

* no ticket or entry will be issued;

* no second question or retry will be provided; and

* the entrant will be blocked from entering that round of the Competition.

An entrant must not attempt to obtain another answer attempt using a different account, identity, email address, device, browser, postal entry or payment method.

If an entrant uses both entry routes, the same qualifying answer must be used. Submitting another answer does not provide another attempt.

6. Paid Online Entry

To enter through the paid route, an entrant must:

1. sign into their 3for100.com account;

2. answer the qualifying question correctly;

3. select the permitted number of entries;

4. complete payment; and

5. receive confirmation that ticket numbers have been issued.

Starting checkout or placing entries in a basket does not reserve them.

A paid entry is valid only after payment has been confirmed and the ticket number appears against the entrant’s account.

If the answer is incorrect, no payment will be taken.

7. £250 Monthly Paid-Spend Limit

Each person may spend no more than **£250 on paid Competition entries across all 3for100.com Competitions during each calendar month**.

This is a spending limit of £250, not a limit of 250 tickets.

The limit:

* applies per person rather than per account;

* covers paid entries across the whole Website;

* resets at the start of each calendar month;

* may be enforced across linked or duplicate accounts; and

* cannot be avoided by using another account, identity, device or payment method.

A purchase that would exceed the entrant’s remaining monthly allowance will be declined or restricted.

Valid free postal entries do not reduce the £250 paid-entry allowance because no entry payment is made to the Promoter.

8. Free Postal Entry

There is no online free-entry form. A postal ticket is created only after a physical postcard has been received and validated.

The free postal-entry information page for each Competition will display:

* the Competition title;

* the Competition reference number;

* the qualifying question;

* the closing information;

* the postal address; and

* the details that must be written on the postcard.

Postal entries must be sent using ordinary first- or second-class post. Entrants pay only the normal cost of postage and make no entry payment to the Promoter.

Unless the Competition page states otherwise, the postcard must clearly and legibly include:

* the entrant’s full legal name;

* the email address registered to their 3for100.com account;

* the entrant’s date of birth;

* the entrant’s full residential address;

* the entrant’s mobile telephone number;

* the Competition title;

* the Competition reference number;

* the entrant’s answer to the qualifying question; and

* the following statement: **“I confirm that I am aged 18 or over and accept the Terms & Conditions, Competition Rules and Privacy Policy.”**

Each postcard represents one entry and must be posted separately with the correct postage.

Postal entries must not be:

* submitted online;

* sent by recorded delivery or special delivery;

* delivered by courier;

* delivered by hand; or

* sent together in bulk inside one envelope.

Proof of posting does not prove that an entry was received.

9. Postal Validation and Ticket Allocation

Posting a postcard does not immediately create or reserve a ticket.

A postal ticket will be issued only after the postcard:

* has been physically received;

* has been reviewed by the Promoter;

* contains all required information;

* can be matched to an eligible 3for100.com account;

* contains the correct Competition reference;

* contains the correct qualifying answer;

* complies with the one-attempt rule;

* was received while the Competition remained open; and

* complies with these Rules.

Once accepted, exactly one ticket will be allocated for that postcard and recorded as a free postal entry.

A postal entry may be rejected if it is late, incomplete, illegible, duplicated, incorrectly addressed, contains an incorrect answer or reference, cannot be matched to an eligible account or otherwise breaches these Rules.

Normal postage costs are not refundable.

10. Equal Treatment of Entries

Every accepted paid or postal ticket:

* enters the same Competition;

* enters the same winner-selection pool;

* has the same chance per individual entry of winning; and

* is treated equally by the winner-selection system.

The selection system will not favour or exclude an entry because it was obtained through the paid or postal route.

There is no separate postal prize pool or separate postal winner.

11. Entry Numbers and Competition Capacity

Each accepted entry will receive a unique ticket number for that Competition.

The Competition page will state the maximum number of entries available and any applicable per-person entry restriction.

Paid and accepted postal entries count towards the same overall Competition capacity.

Entries are subject to availability. No entry is guaranteed until a ticket number has been validly issued.

12. Closing and Postal Processing

Each Competition page will display its closing date and time.

Postal entries must be received—not merely posted—before the stated closing time.

A Competition may close earlier if its maximum entry capacity is reached, where this condition was clearly disclosed before entry.

The winner will not be drawn until all postal entries received before the applicable closing time have been checked and all valid postal tickets have been allocated.

We will not change a published closing date unless unavoidable circumstances outside our reasonable control make a change necessary and the change can be made fairly without disadvantaging entrants.

All times shown on the Website are UK local time unless expressly stated otherwise.

13. Winner Selection

Unless the Competition page clearly states another lawful method, the provisional winner will be selected at random from all valid paid and postal entries.

The draw will use a verifiably random computer process. If such a process is not used, the draw will be conducted by or under the supervision of a demonstrably independent person.

A draw record may be retained showing:

* the Competition;

* the eligible entry pool;

* the winning ticket number;

* the date and time of the draw; and

* any redraw history.

14. Winner Notification and Claim

The provisional winner will be contacted using the email address or telephone number registered to their account.

The provisional winner must respond within **seven days of the first winner notification**, unless a different claim period was clearly displayed on the Competition page before entry.

We may require proof of identity, age, address, account ownership and eligibility before confirming the winner.

The prize may be refused and a replacement winner drawn if the provisional winner:

* is ineligible;

* provided false information;

* breached these Rules;

* cannot be contacted after reasonable attempts;

* fails to respond within the claim period; or

* does not complete reasonable verification.

Any redraw will use the same fair selection process and will be recorded.

15. Winner Information

To demonstrate that a valid award took place, we may publish or make available the winner’s surname and county, together with the winning ticket number.

The winner may object to publication or ask us to reduce the amount of information published.

We may still provide relevant winner information privately to the Advertising Standards Authority if required.

Photographs, testimonials, interviews or other promotional appearances require the winner’s separate agreement.

16. Prizes

The prize and any important restrictions will be described on the Competition page.

The winner will receive the advertised prize unless circumstances outside our reasonable control make this impossible.

If substitution becomes unavoidable, the replacement prize will be of an equivalent or greater value and, wherever reasonably possible, of a similar nature.

A cash alternative will be available only where it was expressly offered on the Competition page or the advertised prize is cash.

17. Disqualification

We may reject or disqualify entries where there is reasonable evidence of:

* duplicate accounts;

* false or misleading information;

* age or residency ineligibility;

* payment fraud or chargeback abuse;

* automated or bulk entry methods;

* altered, copied or fraudulent postal entries;

* interference with the Website or draw process;

* attempts to obtain additional question attempts; or

* attempts to avoid an entry or spending restriction.

We may suspend an account or affected entries while a suspected breach is investigated.

18. Cancellation and Refunds

If a Competition is cancelled and cannot reasonably be completed, paid entry fees for that Competition will be returned to the original payment method.

Postal entrants pay no entry fee to the Promoter. Ordinary postage costs are not refundable unless required by law.

Paid entries cannot ordinarily be withdrawn after payment has been confirmed and ticket numbers have been issued, subject to any statutory consumer rights.

19. Technical or Administrative Errors

If a material technical or administrative error affects the fairness or integrity of a Competition, we will take reasonable corrective action.

An obvious pricing, payment, ticket-allocation or description error may be corrected fairly, without removing an entrant’s statutory rights.

Entrants should contact us promptly if they believe their payment, ticket or postal entry has been recorded incorrectly.

20. Complaints

Questions or complaints should be submitted through the Contact Us page.

Please provide:

* the Competition title;

* the Competition reference number;

* the email address registered to the account; and

* a clear explanation of the issue.

Complaints will be investigated fairly and answered within a reasonable time.

21. Final Provisions

The Promoter’s legal identity and address for service are stated in the Terms & Conditions.

If these Rules conflict with Competition-specific information, the Competition-specific information will apply only to that Competition, provided it is lawful, fair and was clearly disclosed before entry.

Nothing in these Rules removes an entrant’s statutory consumer rights.
