In such instances, the forfeiting Winner will not be entitled to any alternate prizes or compensation of any kind. Winner and Winner's guest(s), if applicable, are responsible for ensuring that they have all required travel documentation and identification including, without limitation and as applicable, any passport or visa, as well as meeting any other requirements for entry into the applicable destination.

Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THESE OFFICIAL RULES CAREFULLY AND CHECK THEM REGULARLY. THIS IS A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND PROMOTER. THESE OFFICIAL RULES MAY CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME

No purchase, payment, or donation of any kind is necessary to enter or win. All entries into a Prize draw have an equal chance of winning. Prize are awarded in accordance with the laws of chance.

THE PLATFORM: The Metro Competitions website (https://metrocompetitions.com/, the "Platform") allow individuals to enter prize draws hosted on the Platform (each, a "Prize Draw").
APPLICABILITY OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES: These Official Rules provide the general terms and conditions applicable to every Prize Draw on the Platform.
INDIVIDUAL RULES: Some Prize Draws may also have their own, additional, Prize Draw-specific terms and conditions (the "Individual Rules"). The Individual Rules provide extra information and requirements for specific Prize Draws. For Prize Draws where Individual Rules also apply, the Individual Rules will be visible on the entry page for the Prize Draw. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between these Official Rules and the Individual Rules, the Official Rules will take precedence. Any reference to the "Official Rules" with respect to any specific Prize Draw includes the applicable Individual Rules.
BINDING CONTRACT: These Official Rules (including the applicable Individual Rules) form a binding contract between Promoter and each Prize Draw participant (a "Participant"). Entry into any Prize Draw constitutes Participant's agreement to the Official Rules and Promoter's decisions, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Platform and all Prize Draws. If you do not agree to these Official Rules (including the applicable Individual Rules) do not enter the Prize Draw(s).
UPDATES TO THE OFFICIAL RULES: These Official Rules may be updated from time to time. Please check these Official Rules (including all relevant Individual Rules) each time you enter any Prize Draw to ensure that you understand the terms that apply at the time that you enter that Prize Draw.
ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible to enter a Prize Draw or be awarded the prize(s) identified on each Prize Draw's page on the Platform (each a "Prize(s)"), a Participant must fully comply with the Official Rules (including the relevant Individual Rules). Prize Draws are only open to individuals who at the time of entry to a Prize Draw and at the time the Winner (as appropriate) is selected: (i) are at least 18 years of age; (ii) are NOT an employee of Flutter Entertainment Plc and any associated group companies or any third party directly associated with the administration of the Prize Draw (iii) are legal residents in the United Kingdom. Metro Competitions may require Participants to provide documentary evidence (e.g. copy of a passport, driving licence or recent utility bill) to verify their eligibility.
PARTNERS: Prize Draws on Metro Competitions may at times be shared across other prize draw platforms such as Rafflee. In these cases, prizes will be funded and pooled across all Platforms.
HOW TO ENTER: Each Prize Draw will have a starting date and time and closing date and time (the "Entry Period") specified on the page of the Prize Draw or in the Individual Rules. Prize Draw Entry Periods will be for a minimum of 3 days. Only those entries received by Promoter during the Entry Period will be valid. Promoter will be the official timekeeper for all Prize Draws. No purchase necessary to enter or win. Your chance of winning is not in any way impacted by your route of entry. To enter the Prize Draw, participants may:
- PURCHASE ENTRY: Purchase a ticket to enter the Prize Draw from Metro Competitions during the Prize Draw period, following the instructions provided at the Prize Draw entry page. Payment may be made by accepted payment methods as outlined on the Platform. Each purchase will constitute a specified number of entries as stated on the Prize Draw entry page.
- FREE ENTRY ROUTE : To enter without making a purchase, send a postcard or letter with your (i) full name; (ii) postal address: (iii) email address; (iv) contact telephone number; and (iv) unique competition identifier found on the Prize Draw entry page to: Metro Competitions, PO BOX 238, Brighton, BN41 9FW. Postal entries must be sent with a Royal Mail 1st or 2nd class stamp. Hand delivered postal entries are not permitted. All free entries must be received by the Closing Date (as specified on the Prize Draw page). Any entries received after the Closing Date will be discarded. Express Competition Prize Draw postal entries received after the Closing Date will be automatically entered into the next equivalent (by prize value) Express Competition raffle. Illegible, incomplete, or late entries will not be accepted. The postal entry must originate from within the United Kingdom. No mechanically reproduced entries are permitted. You may enter the Prize Draw multiple times (up to the Entry Limit) by sending separate individual stamped envelopes or postcards, but if multiple entries are sent in one envelope all entries except for 1 will be discarded. Participant will receive an email confirmation that their entry has been received.
- EXPRESS COMPETITIONS: If you enter an Express Competition by postal entry, and the Prize Draw closes in the time period between sending your post through Royal Mail and your entry being processed by our 3rd parties, your postal entry will be automatically entered into the next equivalent (by prize value) Express Competition.
ENTRY LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS: Only accurate and complete entries submitted and received by Promoter during the Entry Period are eligible. Any inaccurate, incomplete, illegible, corrupted, or untimely entries are void and ineligible to win. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Promoter. Promoter is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, mutilated, delayed, postage due, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries, or for other submission problems of any kind, whether caused by mechanical, human or electronic error, all of which are void and ineligible to win. Additionally, Promoter is not responsible for any telephone, electronic, hardware, software, network, internet, or computer malfunctions, failures, or difficulties. If a Participant's entry fee is refunded, any entries associated with such entry fee will be withdrawn and not eligible to win.
ENTRY LIMIT: The number of entries per Participant per Prize Draw is limited. Please see the Individual Rules and or entry page for each Prize Draw for further information.
MINIMUM ENTRY: Some Prize Draws may specify a minimum number of entries before the draw can take place. Metro Competitions reserves the right to cancel a prize draw if a minimum number of tickets are not sold before the Closing Date. In any such case, Metro Competitions will refund in full the value of tickets purchased by Participant for the cancelled prize draw. Tickets will be refunded to the method of payment used to enter the draw.
REQUIRED INFORMATION: Participants must provide all required information specified on the Prize Draw's page or entry form to be eligible to enter and win.
VALID EMAIL ADDRESS: Participants must not use multiple email addresses or identities to enter our Prize Draws, and doing so may void all entries for that Participant and result in disqualification of the Participant at Promoter's discretion. To receive valid entries, at the time of submission, Participant must provide a valid email address for which the Participant is the authorised owner. Multiple Participants may not share the same email address. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of any Participant, the authorised account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the Participant. The "authorised account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an internet access provider, online service provider or other organisation responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Winners may be required to show proof of being the authorised account holder. Any entries connected to an invalid, non-working, or inactive email address, or linked to an authorised account holder other than Participant, are void and ineligible to win.
NO AUTOMATED ENTRY DEVICES: All entries must be submitted by the individual Participant to be valid, except where it is expressly stated in these Official Rules and/or the applicable Individual Rules that entries will be given automatically to eligible Participants. Use, or attempted use, of any robotic, automated, programmed, mechanical, or other non-manual entry methods, will void all entries for that Participant and result in disqualification of the Participant from all Prize Draws, at Promoter's discretion. No copies, facsimiles, or other mechanical or electronic reproductions of entries will be accepted. Promoter, using its reasonable discretion, will determine whether a Participant has used or attempted to use any such prohibited automated entry methods.
CONTACT DETAILS: By entering any Prize Draw, you agree that Metro Competitions and any third party prize fulfilment partners may contact you via email, phone, and mail for the purpose of administration of the Prize Draw in accordance with the Privacy Notice available here.
