Although entering online Competitions and/or Prize Draws is not considered gambling, Paragon Competitions want to ensure that anybody entering our competitions is doing so in a responsible manner.
You should only spend what you can afford, a remember that our site is supposed to be a fun way to win luxury prizes for a fraction of their cost. You should think carefully before entering any competition and only enter competitions that that you have a genuine desire to win the prize, not just enter every competition you see. Again, you should ensure that the ticket price is affordable for you before entering a competition.
If the fun stops, STOP!
Paragon Competitions have put in place a number of measures to ensure that our site is used responsibly:
All competitions have the option to purchase entries online or send in a free postal entry. Please see full details of our free postal entry option here.
We limit the maximum entries per person, per competition to ensure responsible play. The entry limit for each competition is confirmed within each competition listing.
If you ever feel that you are spending too much on competitions entries, you can opt for a ‘Time Out’, which you can do yourself by visiting the “My Account” section and clicking the “Timeout” tab.

If you ever feel that you are spending too much on competitions entries, you can opt for a ‘Self Exclusion’ period of either 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. Simply email us we will place a ‘Self Exclusion’ on your account for the desired period.

Even though online competition entry isn’t classed as gambling, it could still be part of a wider problem or you may feel that it’s becoming an issue for you on its own. If this is the case, we would recommend getting some free, independent and non-judgemental advice from BeGambleAware.org or GamCare.org.uk
