What is a UK Skill-Based Prize Competition? (And How It's Different from Gambling)
If you're new to UK prize competitions, you might wonder how they're legally different from a lottery or gambling. The answer comes down to one thing: skill. Under the UK Gambling Act 2005, a competition is exempt from gambling regulation if entrants must answer a qualifying question correctly to win.
How it works at Nitrous Competitions
At Nitrous Competitions, every car competition, cash competition and tech prize competition includes a skill question. You answer the question, and if you're correct your entry goes into the live draw.
Free postal entry
UK competition law requires a no-purchase-necessary route. Free postal entries go to Nitrous Competitions, 12 The Close, Barwell, Leicester, LE9 8AS. Free entries have the same chance of winning as paid entries.

Tax-Free Cash Competitions: How They Work
