1) No refunds after entry

• Once an entry has been submitted into a live competition, refunds are not available.
• Entries are recorded and cannot be withdrawn without compromising fairness and integrity.
• Competition entries represent participation in a prize competition, not the purchase of goods.

• If a technical or billing error results in an incorrect or duplicate charge.

3) If a competition does not sell out (Rollover)

• Bonus Ball draws scheduled for Wednesday or Saturday close at 7:30pm (UK time) on the day of the draw.

• All existing ticket numbers remain fully valid during rollover.
• No refunds are issued solely because a competition has rolled over.
• Updated draw dates and closing times will be shown on the competition page.
