Pressure test your competition idea before it goes live

A lot depends on how the promotion actually works, not just what it is called. We can look at whether the format relies on chance or skill, how people enter, whether payment or purchase is involved, how the prize is described, what restrictions apply to entrants and what your terms need to say. We also discuss advertising and consumer law issues that may affect launch materials. The advice is tied to the promotion you describe, so it is more practical than a generic overview of competition rules.

This option is usually suitable when you want to test a promotion concept, sense-check the legal position or identify the main risk points before commissioning wider work. It differs from a broader promotions compliance service because it does not include joined-up drafting of terms, launch setup review or wider campaign materials. Businesses often choose it when they are still deciding how the promotion should run, whether a permit issue may arise, or whether the mechanics need changing before they invest more time in the campaign.

No. We can explain what the terms should cover, such as eligibility, entry steps, winner selection, prize wording, timing, exclusions, cancellation rights and data use, but this fixed-fee is for advice rather than full drafting. That distinction matters because the terms need to reflect the actual promotion mechanics and prize structure. If the concept changes after the consultation, the drafting approach may change too. If you want bespoke terms prepared or an existing set reviewed after the call, we can quote for that separately.

Not always. Permit requirements can vary depending on where and how the promotion runs, and approval depends on the relevant regulator or authority where one is involved. Where an external authority is involved, we will help you understand what may be needed for your situation.. Whether a permit issue arises may turn on factors such as the role of chance, the entry route, the prize and the territory in which the promotion is offered. We can help identify whether this is likely to be a live issue for your format, but obtaining permits or approvals is outside this service.

No lawyer should give an absolute answer on that basis alone. You receive practical guidance on the issues in scope, while any broader risk position depends on your documents, conduct and implementation. The legal position can shift depending on the final wording, the channels used, where the promotion is offered and For Operating A Competition Advice, the wording should follow your real information flows. For Operating A Competition Advice, collection points and disclosure practices shape the drafting. entrant information in practice. What we can do is identify the main legal pressure points, explain where the structure may need adjusting and outline whether further drafting or review work would be sensible before launch.
