Kids competitions

Hi, just a question, when entering a kids comp, is says age?

Example here - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5020786

Can i enter using my age & email, or does it have to be from the childs email?

My nephew does not have an email address, so i am a bit confused?

Thank you

I'm never sure GeeBee.

I once set an email account(Gmail) up for a child to enter these comps.All the name & address plus age were all genuine in the signature.

Google then asked for an age verification check.I entered genuine details & when Google spotted that the child was under 13 years of age the account was terminiated.

Just one to bear in mind if setting an email account up for a child to enter these comps.
I have read that some just use their own account & add the child's deatils in the email/answer boxes,if that makes sense.

Thanks weeowens, i better leave it, as my brother may not like me setting up a email address

I use my email address and whichever of my grandchildrens details I am entering for.
They have won several times so it seems to work.

I've a young daughter and I put my email address but her details then add that I'm her Mummy and entering for her as she doesn't have an email address or phone. I've won a couple of little comps that way and they've never questioned it...prize then arrives in her name (so she gets the fun of opening something addressed to her!)

Like above I always used to put my brothers name, age etc and then explain he didn't have an email address of his own and he had wins. I now do the same for my son.
