Free entry
Impact Comps provides a free method of entry for competitions where a free-entry route forms part of the promotion.
The precise method is displayed prominently alongside the paid entry route on the competition page.
Free entry method
The free entry mechanism for each competition is published on that competition page and in its Competition Terms. No premium-rate service is ever required to enter free of charge.
Each free entry must contain the information reasonably required to identify:
- the entrant
- the relevant competition
- contact details
- date of birth or age confirmation where required
- any other information equally required of paid entrants
Equal treatment
A correctly submitted and eligible free entry will:
- enter the same competition
- participate in the same winner-selection process
- have the same opportunity to win as an equivalent paid entry
Impact's draw system does not distinguish between valid entries because of whether they were paid or free.
Deadline
Free entries must be received within the deadline specified for the relevant competition.
Invalid free entries
Entries may be rejected where they:
- arrive after the applicable deadline
- cannot be attributed to the relevant competition
- contain insufficient identifying information
- exceed applicable entry limits
- are duplicates beyond permitted limits
- otherwise fail the published eligibility requirements
Impact will not reject a free entry merely because it was submitted through the free route.
