Competition terms

The rules for every Chase The Hits competition. Last updated 4 November 2026.

1. The short version

  • This is a UK prize competition, not a lottery or raffle. To enter you must answer a skill question correctly.
  • There is always a free way to enter by post, with exactly the same chance of winning as a paid entry.
  • UK residents aged 18 or over only.
  • Every competition has a fixed maximum number of entries, shown on the competition page, so you always know your odds.
  • Every winner is picked at random, live on stream, from a published entry list.

2. Who runs the competitions

The promoter is CTH Competitions Ltd, trading as Chase The Hits, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17546347), registered office 20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU ("we", "us"). Contact: comps@chasethehits.com, or by post to the postal entry address in section 5.

These general terms apply to every competition we run. Each competition also has its own page setting out the prize, entry price, maximum entries, closing date and draw date (the "competition details"). If the competition details and these terms disagree, the competition details apply.

3. Who can enter

  • You must be 18 or over and live in the United Kingdom.
  • You cannot enter if you are the promoter, someone who helps run the competitions, or a member of their immediate family or household.
  • Before a prize is sent, the winner must show valid photo ID (passport or photo driving licence) whose name and date of birth match the entry, plus proof of address if we ask. If the winner cannot, or does not meet these rules, the prize is redrawn.
  • We may refuse or void an entry, or close an account, if we reasonably believe someone has committed or attempted fraud, used false details, interfered with the website or competitions, or been abusive to us or other entrants. Paid entries voided for any other reason are refunded.
  • Entries made on someone else's behalf, through automated software, or in breach of these terms are void.

4. How to enter online

  1. Choose a competition and answer the skill question shown on its page.
  2. Choose how many entries you want, up to the per-person limit.
  3. Pay the entry price shown. Each entry is given a ticket number, picked at random from the numbers still available, and confirmed by email straight away.

Your entry is made when payment is received and your answer has been checked. If your answer is wrong, you are not entered into the draw, no ticket number is issued, and the entry fee is not refunded. Please check your answer before you pay.

No cancellations. Your entry is confirmed straight away and is tied to a draw on a set date, so once an entry is confirmed you cannot cancel it or ask for a refund, including under the 14-day cancellation right that applies to many online purchases. You confirm this when you pay. This does not affect your right to a refund if we cancel a competition (section 10).

5. Free postal entry

You can enter any competition free of charge by post. A postal entry has exactly the same chance of winning as a paid entry.

Send a postcard, by first or second class Royal Mail post, to CTH, PO Box 1264, Bristol, BS36 9BH, with:

  • the name of the competition you are entering;
  • your full name, postal address, email address and phone number;
  • your date of birth;
  • your answer to the competition's skill question.

You may enter each competition by post once. Each valid postal entry is worth one ticket; further postal entries from the same person for the same competition are not entered. Postal entries must arrive by 5pm on the working day before the closing date, so they can be checked and entered in time. Hand-delivered entries are not accepted. Each valid postal entry receives one ticket number, confirmed by email. Postal entries count towards the competition's maximum entries and the per-person limit. If a competition sells out before your postal entry arrives, it cannot be entered into that competition. Illegible, incomplete or late entries are void. Proof of posting is not proof of receipt. We confirm valid postal entries by email; we do not reply to tell you whether an answer was right or wrong.

6. Entry limits and closing

  • Each competition has a maximum number of entries, shown on its page. Once that number is reached, the competition closes to new entries.
  • Each competition has its own maximum number of entries per person, shown on its page. Paid and postal entries count together towards it. Multiple accounts used by the same person count as one person.
  • Each competition closes at the date and time shown on its page, or earlier if it sells out.
  • The draw takes place on the date shown, whether or not every entry has been sold. We do not extend closing dates to sell more entries. The only time a closing date or draw moves is a technical fault on our side or an event outside our control (for example a power or internet outage, severe weather or a postal strike), and then only for as long as it takes to put right. If that happens we email everyone who has entered and update the competition page.

7. The draw

  • Before each draw we publish the full entry list on the competition page, showing every ticket number that has been issued. Entrants' names are not shown.
  • The winning ticket is picked by random.org's independent Third-Party Draw Service, which keeps a public, timestamped record of every draw. Paid and free postal entries go into the same draw with exactly the same chance.
  • The draw is streamed live on our Instagram account, @chasethehits.tcg, and the recording stays available to view. If the stream fails for technical reasons, the random.org record is the official result.
  • If a competition sells out early, the draw is made from all valid entries at that point, on the draw date shown or sooner if we announce it.
  • There is one winner per competition, unless the competition details say otherwise. The ticket drawn wins, and our decision on the draw is final.

8. Winners

  • We contact the winner by email and phone within 48 hours of the draw.
  • The winner must reply within 14 days. If they do not, or cannot be verified under section 3, we redraw from the remaining entries, live in the same way.
  • We publish the winner's first name, county and winning ticket number on our winners page and social media. If you would rather not be named, tell us and we will publish your ticket number only, although we may still need to share your details with the Advertising Standards Authority if asked.

9. Prizes

  • Each prize is described and photographed on its competition page. Prize photographs are of the exact item unless the page says the image is representative.
  • Graded cards are supplied in the grading company's slab as graded by that company. The grade is that company's opinion; we do not guarantee how another company would grade the card. Minor marks on the slab case that do not affect the card are not a fault.
  • Prizes are sent free by tracked, insured, signed-for delivery to a UK address within 7 days of the winner being verified. One delivery attempt is free; if the address given was wrong or the parcel is returned uncollected, we may charge the cost of sending it again. Risk passes to the winner on delivery.
  • A prize cannot be claimed by someone else on the winner's behalf.
  • Every competition has a cash alternative of 80% of the prize value shown on its page. The winner chooses the prize or the cash when we contact them, and the cash is paid by bank transfer within 7 days of the winner being verified. If a prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside our control, we will provide a replacement of equal or greater value, or cash to the value stated on the competition page.
  • Prizes cannot be transferred or exchanged before delivery.

10. Cancelling a competition

If we have to cancel a competition (for example, because the prize is lost or damaged, or for reasons outside our control), we refund every paid entry in full within 14 days and tell all entrants by email.

11. Play sensibly

Competitions should be fun. Set yourself a budget and stick to it, and never spend more than you can afford. If you want us to block you from entering our competitions, for any length of time, email us and we will do it straight away. Free, confidential support is available from GamCare on 0808 8020 133.

12. Your data

We use your details to run the competition, contact winners, deliver prizes and meet our legal obligations, as set out in our privacy policy. We only send marketing emails if you have opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

13. Liability

We are not responsible for entries that fail to arrive because of technical faults, payment provider problems or postal delays. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or anything else that cannot be limited by law. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

14. Changes, complaints and law

  • We may update these terms for future competitions. A competition already open runs under the terms in force when it opened.
  • Questions or complaints: comps@chasethehits.com. We reply within 5 working days.
  • These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
