The promoter is PostDraw UK. Every draw on this site is a free-to-enter prize competition. There is no purchase requirement, no entry fee, no stake and no consideration of any kind.
PostDraw UK is not a lottery, a betting product or a gambling service, and is not licensed by the Gambling Commission because no licence is required for a genuinely free draw.
To enter any draw you must:
You may register any valid UK postcode — it does not have to be the postcode of the address you live at. Pick your home postcode, your home town, a favourite place, or anywhere else in the UK including Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
We will never ask you to prove that you live at the postcode you have chosen, and a prize is never refused because your postcode differs from your home address. You must, however, be a UK resident aged 18 or over to hold an account and receive a prize.
One postcode is held per account at a time. Because of the 25-hour fairness lock, a postcode must already be saved on your account before a draw runs for it to count as a winner, so switching postcodes after a draw never wins retrospectively.
Registering an account with your chosen postcode enters that postcode into the daily Main Draw automatically. No further action is needed and no entry is ever charged for.
Some draws require a single free unlock action before the draw closes: the Survey Draw requires you to answer that day's survey question, and the Video Draw requires you to watch the featured clip. Unlocking is free and takes under a minute.
All times are UK local time (GMT/BST). Draws run every day unless we publish otherwise:
Winning postcodes are selected automatically by our draw engine at the scheduled draw time from our UK postcode database using a cryptographically seeded random selection. No person selects or influences a winning postcode.
A postcode drawn as a winner is subject to a fairness lock and cannot be drawn again for at least 25 hours, so the same postcode cannot win two consecutive draws of the same type.
The winning postcode for each draw is published on that draw's page and remains visible until the next draw of that type takes place.
If your registered postcode is drawn, a claim appears in your account and you must claim it within the claim window shown on the draw page. Prizes that are not claimed inside the window expire and are not reinstated.
One prize may be claimed per draw type per day. Where a draw has a winners cap, prizes are allocated to eligible claimants in the order claims are made until the cap is reached.
Before a payout is released we may ask you to complete identity verification (to confirm you are 18 or over, a UK resident, and the account holder) and to provide valid payout details in your own name. We do not ask you to prove that you live at the postcode registered on your account — any valid UK postcode is allowed.
Approved payouts are made by bank transfer or an equivalent electronic payout method to an account in your own name. We do not pay third parties. Prize credit becomes withdrawable once it clears any hold period published in your account, and once your balance reaches the stated minimum withdrawal amount.
We may withhold or reverse a prize where entry rules were broken, where multiple accounts, false details or automated entry are detected, or where verification cannot be completed.
We may amend these rules, change prize amounts, or pause or cancel a draw where necessary — for example for a technical fault, suspected abuse or a legal requirement. Material changes are published on this page.
Our decision on eligibility and winner validity is final. If you disagree with a decision, use our Complaints Procedure — it does not affect your statutory rights, and nothing in these rules limits our liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence.
These rules should be read alongside our Terms of Use, Privacy Notice, Responsible Play guidance and Data Retention policy.
