What we check

For each listing we check the operator's individual competition page for the title, prize, entry price, closing date, entry methods and instant-win format. We never invent details. If information is missing or conflicts, the listing is held for review.

Free entry

We show free postal entry and free online entry separately as "Available", "Not available" or "Not confirmed". "Not confirmed" means we couldn't verify it — not that it doesn't exist. Free postal entry usually means you pay the postage.

Last checked

A "Last checked" date appears only when a listing was actually checked against its source.

Closed competitions

Competitions are removed from current results once they close. Closing times follow UK time (Europe/London). Some closed pages stay available, clearly labelled "Competition closed", with links to current competitions.

Sponsored listings

Paid or featured placements are labelled. Every operator's listings follow the same checks. See About us.

Corrections

Report a listing using its "Report" option or email admin@ukcompetitionfinder.co.uk. Corrected listings keep the same web address.
