Prize Draw Compliance & Responsible Play

At Galloping Giveaways Ltd, we are committed to running fair, transparent and responsible prize draws. We follow the principles of the Voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators, UK consumer protection law, and relevant advertising and data protection rules.

 

This page explains how we operate our prize draws in a compliant and trustworthy way and the importance of responsible play.

1. Responsible Play

Galloping Giveaways Ltd is committed to ensuring that participation in our prize draws remains enjoyable and responsible. We provide a range of player‑protection tools designed to give entrants full control over their activity, including:

• Spending limits – entrants can set daily, weekly, monthly or yearly limits on their account (including £0). Lowering a limit takes effect immediately and cannot be undone.

• Take a break – entrants may pause their account for a period of 1 day to permanently.

We encourage all entrants to participate in moderation and to make use of these tools whenever needed. If play stops being enjoyable, we signpost to free, confidential support services including BeGambleAware, GamCare, Citizens Advice, National Debtline, Samaritans and Mind. Links to these organisations are provided in the footer of our website for easy access.

Competitions are strictly for UK residents aged 18 or over. We promote responsible participation at all times and take proactive steps to protect vulnerable individuals.

2. Fairness and Transparency

We want every entrant to understand exactly how our prize draws work. Each competition page clearly displays:

 

All draw processes are designed to be fair, auditable and verifiable, in line with the principles of the Voluntary Code.

 

We provide a genuine, equal free entry route for every prize draw.

Our free entry route:

 

All valid free entries are processed in the same way as paid entries and included equally in the draw.

Following legal advice, we do not require entrants to answer a skill‑based question. Our compliance is based on providing a fair and accessible free entry route and selecting winners purely at random.

Galloping Giveaways is a signatory to the Voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators. All draws are conducted using a secure randomisation process, such as a secure random number generator or a digital random wheel. Every eligible entry has an equal chance of winning, and winners are selected purely by chance, strictly in accordance with the laws of chance and the principles of fairness and transparency set out in the Prize Draw Code of Practice.

We may publish the winner’s surname and county unless the winner objects. Even if a winner chooses not to be publicly named, we may still be required to share their details with the ASA to verify the draw was conducted properly.

Where a cash alternative is offered, the amount will be clearly stated on the competition page. Winners may choose either the advertised prize or the cash alternative. Offering a cash alternative supports transparency and ensures winners have a clear and flexible choice.
