Bauer Ban

Can anyone clarify for me, if you win a prize worth £500 with Bauer, can you not enter ANY Bauer competitions for 6 months or just Bauer comps above £500  Thank You

    You can only win less than £500

    The Bauer brands can be found here

    The terms

    Prize Limits. Unless otherwise stated in the Specific Terms, each entrant is limited to winning one prize per Competition. There is no limit on the value of a single prize that may be provided to the individual winners of a Competition. However, so that we can ensure fairness of our Competitions we reserve the right to prevent a person to win more than one prize valued at £500 or more via any of our Competitions in any given six (6) month period. For avoidance of doubt this means that an entrant will not be eligible to win any prize if the entrant has in the past six (6) months won a prize valued at £500 or more.  We reserve the right to disqualify your mobile phone number from future Competitions during this period.

    I read this that if we were to win anything over £500 there is a 6 month exclusion from all comps..

    This is why I was confused it seems to contradict itself.

    If you have won "£500 or more)

    That includes £500 and then the ban is for competitions of £500 or more

    To put it another way - If you win an individual prize worth at least £500 the ban means the largest individual prize you can win for 6 months is £499.99 - you can win an unlimited number of prizes worth less than £500 whether in a ban period or not

    A win of £500 starts the ban and prizes worth £500 upwards are caught by it

    It’s definitely that you cannot win any prize irrespective of value for 6 months after you have won a prize valued at £500 or more. 
    Like @Makeandsave I specifically asked when I won a tv and the answer was that you can’t win anything at all for 6 months.

    I don’t know if anyone has successfully won something within their ban period on here.

    I have (Kind of). I'm on a bauer ban after a hits radio win. Won something from fate & fortune (which to be fair I entered before I went live on hits radio) and I queried whether I would still be eligible to win considering I'd won on the radio and she said I could still claim as the prize was under £500. 

    That being said I just avoid all bauer comps while on a ban as it's easier than the faff of guessing how much a prize is worth  :D

    I received a winning email on Friday which says -

    We’d like to let you know that the prize you’ve won is valued at £500 or more, so as per our T&C’s, neither you nor another individual living at the same residential address as you are entitled to win another Bauer Media prize for the next 6 months. This is so we can ensure everybody has a fair chance of winning.
