Prize Limits

Hodge4ever

I was reading through the T&Cs for a comp I have been fortunate enough to win and came across this;
"Prize Limits. No person or persons at the same residential address may win more than one prize valued at £500 or more via any of our Competitions in any six (6) month period."

I must admit that I only usually scan-read T&Cs but I've never seen anything to that effect before, not an issue (just have to remember not to bother entering any comps from them for a while) but just wondered whether the more-seasoned compers would know if this is a rarity or more prevalent than I realised?

A lot of the radio comps have that rule, Classic FM certainly does.

That's common across the Bauer and Global radio groups (Kiss, Kerrang, Magic, Heart, Capital etc)

I won with Heart fm and in my congratulations letter it does state at the bottom that I can not enter any comps for 6 months as my prize was over £500. It didn't say anything about anyone else in my household entering though.

May have to go revisit their T&C as my partner (not that he knows) has been entering Heart competitions since LOL

Heart are part of Global same as Capital, they both have

you, or any member of your family residing at the same address as you (including, but not limited to, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents), have won a Prize valued at £500 or greater within a period of six months prior to the closing date of the Competition.
Any entries made in contravention of this clause 2.2 will not be valid

Best stop entering on his behalf then

Hodge4ever

Interesting, sounds like it's not that unusual then. I'll keep a closer eye on the T&Cs in case I'm lucky enough to win anything else.

Thanks for pointing it out Hodge4ever, shame for Mclarengurl your first post made me laugh about the partner had been entering but didn't know it.

Hi, this can't apply to classic fm because I won twice in one month

Barnabysue

It certainly does for prizes over £500, I checked the letter before posting earlier.

Smooth Radio and Absolute have similar clauses in their Ts and Cs
