Under N.I. law this is classed as a competition where no level of skill is required to enter. Consequently, under a Northern Irish Act passed in 1985 no purchase can be involved at any stage of the process between entering the competition and receiving the prize. Technically, even though you don't ever hand over money you have to purchase the prize (a bottle of Sprite) so it's not allowed in N.I. until a new updated act is passed in 2015, which will allow such promotions in NI. (If Coca Cola posted out bottles of Sprite for free or were to send people to Belfast to hand out bottles of Sprite for free then that would be permitted.)

In Scotland alcohol promotions are banned. This means any alcohol offers have to exclude Scotland.

I've heard about Scotland's ban on alcohol deals!

But I never knew NI had such strict rules about stuff like this!

Have looked into this , that law doesn't apply to this situation ... The reason this promotion isn't available here (Northern Ireland ) is because we are under a different Coca-Cola Region ... i.e , Promotion run by Coca-Cola GB which is completely separate to Coca-Cola NI .....

Works with 10 minute mail if you want to avoid spam

Ten minute mail (find it through google) gives you a temporary email address for ten minutes then closes it off, its a nice way of avoiding spam when wanting to redeem a offer like this.

It might also mean that those of you who had trouble printing your coupon could in theory apply for another coupon through a ten min mail address.
