Last updated: 17 May 2026
On this pageIntroduction
Introduction
Welcome to Odds Up. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our website and participation in our prize competitions. By accessing our site and purchasing tickets, you agree to be bound by these terms.
- Operator
- Odds Up Ltd, operating in the United Kingdom. All competitions are subject to UK law.
- Registered office
- Suite A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, IP28 7DE
- Registration
- Registered in England and Wales. Company number 16971876.
- Contact
- hello@oddsup.co.uk
Eligibility
- Age requirement
- You must be 18 years or older to participate.
- Location
- Open to UK residents only.
- Account
- You may only create one account per person.
- Verification
- We reserve the right to request ID verification for winners before prize delivery.
How Competitions Work
- Ticket purchase
- Tickets can be purchased via our website using Stripe payment processing.
- Ticket limit
- Each competition has a maximum number of tickets available, and a maximum number of tickets allowed per user.
- Bulk discounts
- Some paid competitions offer optional tiered discounts on larger orders (for example, 5+ tickets at 5% off). When available, tiers are shown on the competition page and the discounted total is applied automatically at checkout. Discounted tickets have the same chance of winning. Bulk discounts do not stack with referral rewards or promotional codes; the best available discount is applied. The order confirmation and payment record reflect the actual discounted amount paid.
- Sell-out draw timing
- When all tickets are sold, a 1-hour countdown begins before the automated draw.
- Competition deadline
- Some competitions include a specific closing date and time shown on the competition page. Once that deadline is reached, new entries are not accepted.
- Deadline outcome
- If a competition reaches its deadline before selling out, we may either proceed to a draw from valid entries or cancel and issue refunds. The selected outcome is managed by our admin team and recorded in our audit logs.
Free Entry Options
We offer two ways to enter competitions without payment:
Option 1: Instant Free Competitions
Some competitions are marked as "Free Entry" and require no purchase whatsoever. These competitions:
- Display a green "FREE ENTRY" badge
- Allow instant entry with no admin approval required
- Have a set entry limit per user (you receive all your allowed entries at once)
- Give you the same chance of winning as any other ticket holder
How to enter: Log in to your account and click "Enter Now" on any free competition. Your entries are registered immediately.
Option 2: Postal Free Entry Route (Paid Competitions)
To comply with UK competition regulations, we offer a postal free entry route for paid competitions. You may claim one free postal entry per competition. Each postcard must be for a single competition only.
To enter by post, you must have a registered account and include your full legal name (as registered), your registered email address, and the full competition name. Entries must be clearly written or typed. Unclear or incomplete entries may be invalid.
Note: Your free postal entry counts towards the maximum ticket limit for that competition. If you have already reached the maximum number of tickets allowed (through paid purchases), you will not be eligible for an additional free entry.
Postal entries are collected via OfficeServ. See our Free Entry by Post page for the current address.
Important: Both free entry options give you the same chance of winning as paid entries.
Winner Selection
- Random selection
- Winners are selected using cryptographically secure random selection.
- Transparency
- All draws are recorded with timestamps and audit trails.
- Notification
- Winners are notified by email and through their account where applicable.
- Public results
- For transparency, draw results may be shown on our website. Public winner displays use limited information such as first name and competition details unless we separately agree something more specific with the winner.
- Fair draw
- The selection process cannot be manipulated by anyone, including Odds Up staff.
Prize Claiming
- Claim period
- Winners have 48 hours from notification to claim their prize via their dashboard.
- How to claim
- Winners must log into their account and claim through the dashboard. Physical prizes require shipping address; digital prizes require confirmation only.
- Unclaimed prizes
- If a winner does not claim within 48 hours, we will conduct a redraw to select an alternate winner from the remaining ticket holders.
- Non-transferable
- Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred to another person.
ID Verification Requirement
All winners must complete ID verification before prize delivery. We use this process to verify age, confirm identity, prevent fraud, and protect the integrity of the platform.

- Review
- 24-48 hours

Refund Policy
- Contract formation
- For paid entries, your order is confirmed once checkout is successfully completed and we issue your entry confirmation.
- Deadline or admin cancellation
- Full refunds are issued where a competition is cancelled, including where we choose not to draw a winner after a deadline has been reached. Refunds are based on the actual amount paid for the affected order after any discount, not the undiscounted ticket face value.
- Unavailable entry route
- If entry is closed due to deadline or cancellation, no further entries can be purchased or claimed.
- Cancelled competitions
- Full refunds if we cancel a competition for any reason.
- Partial ticket removal
- If we remove only some tickets from an order and a refund is due, the refund is calculated from the actual charged per-ticket amount for that order. For example, tickets bought as part of a discounted bulk order or with a promotional code are refunded at the discounted per-ticket amount actually paid.
- No buyer remorse
- Paid entries are for participation in a time-limited competition and are generally not refundable after purchase unless required by law or expressly stated in these terms.
- Processing time
- Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5-10 business days.
Payment & Security
- Payment processor
- All payments are processed securely through Stripe.
- Accepted methods
- Debit/credit cards, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Revolut Pay, and Pay By Bank.
- Security
- Your payment information is never stored on our servers.
- Pricing
- All prices are displayed in GBP (£) and include VAT where applicable.
- Failed payments
- Tickets are only issued upon successful payment confirmation.

- Use bots or automated systems to purchase tickets
- Create multiple accounts to circumvent purchase limits

Ticket Removal Policy
Violation of these rules may result in immediate ticket removal and account suspension. If tickets are removed from a competition:
- You will be notified by email with the reason for removal
- Refunds may be withheld in cases of fraud or abuse
- You will be blocked from re-entering that specific competition
- Repeat offences may result in permanent account suspension
Liability & Disclaimers
- Prize condition
- Where a prize includes manufacturer or retailer warranties, those remain subject to the terms offered by that manufacturer or retailer.
- Service availability
- We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to our website.
- Third parties
- We use third-party providers such as payment processors, couriers, hosting, and email services. We are not responsible for losses caused solely by those providers where we have acted with reasonable care in selecting and using them.
- Your statutory rights
- Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any rights you have under applicable consumer law, or our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death, or personal injury caused by negligence.
Referral Programme
Our referral programme rewards you for inviting friends to Odds Up.
How it works
- Share your unique referral link with friends (found in your dashboard)
- When a friend signs up using your link and creates an account, you both receive a free entry reward
- Use your reward to enter any paid competition for free
- Reward value
- Each referral reward grants one free ticket entry to any paid competition of your choice.
- No discount stacking
- Referral rewards are redeemed as a separate free ticket and do not combine with bulk ticket discounts, promotional codes, or other offers in a paid checkout.
- Reward expiration
- Referral rewards never expire and can be used at any time.
- One per referral
- You receive one reward per successful referral. Your referred friend also receives one reward.
- Account required
- The referred person must create a valid account and verify their email to complete the referral.
Restrictions
- No self-referral: You cannot refer yourself or create multiple accounts to earn rewards
- One referral per person: Each person can only be referred once
- Ticket limits apply: Referral rewards count towards the maximum tickets per person for a competition
- Non-transferable: Referral rewards cannot be transferred to other users or exchanged for cash
- Abuse prevention: We reserve the right to void rewards obtained through fraudulent means
Promotional Codes
We may issue promotional codes to support marketing campaigns, recognise our community, or apologise for service issues. Each code is configured with a discount type, eligibility window, and usage limits.
How they work
- Percentage off or fixed amount off codes apply at checkout to reduce the total you pay
- Free-entry codes mint a single £0 ticket without payment, similar to a referral reward
- Each code is only valid while it is active and within any start/expiry window we set
- Usage limits
- Codes have a global usage cap and a per-user limit (typically once per user). Attempts beyond either limit will be rejected automatically.
- Scope
- Some codes are valid across all paid competitions, others are limited to specific competitions and will only redeem on those.
- No discount stacking
- Promotional codes do not combine with bulk ticket discounts or referral rewards. Where more than one discount could apply, the better one is used.
- Free-entry codes
- Free-entry codes count towards the maximum tickets per user for a competition, can only be used on paid competitions, and cannot be redeemed once a competition has sold out or its deadline has passed.
- Non-transferable
- Promotional codes cannot be sold, transferred, or exchanged for cash. We may withdraw or change codes at any time before redemption; redemptions already completed are not affected.
Abuse Prevention
- Codes obtained or shared in breach of these terms, or used through multiple accounts to circumvent per-user limits, may be voided without notice
- We may recover the value of any tickets issued through fraudulent or abusive use, and where appropriate suspend or close the accounts involved
- Codes cannot be combined with bulk discounts or referral rewards in any single transaction
