What is OneStopWin?

OneStopWin is a prize competition database. It lists many different prize competitions in a range of categories making it easier for you to play the competitions you are interested in.

We do not run or control these competitions. They are run and controlled by third parties who are linked to this website. 

When you click on a link to a competition or a promoter you will leave our website and visit their website. You will then be bound by their website terms of use and if you enter any of their competitions you will be bound by their terms and conditions.

Please make sure you read and understand the third party’s terms before taking any action or entering any competition.

We are not responsible for and we have no control over any content on any third party websites.

What are prize competitions

Prize competitions are, in some ways, similar to gambling. However, from a legal perspective they are not considered to be gambling and so are regulated differently.

To be a true prize competition, entrants must demonstrate a significant level of skill, knowledge or judgement to be in with a chance of winning. However, where an easy competition is asked, the promoter of the competition must offer a free entry route to the competition to enable them to comply with the law.

Even though prize competitions are not considered to be gambling, there is still a risk that you could lose significant amounts of money if you do not play responsibly. We therefore urge you to play responsibly and not to spend more than you can afford.

Prize competitions are not regulated by the Gambling Commission.

Listed competitions 

We list a number of prize competitions on our website. We do not knowingly list any gambling competitions. 

It is important that you understand that we do not endorse any of the competitions and we do not provide any warranty, guarantee or assurance that the listed competitions fulfil all of the laws and regulations that they are required to abide by.

Some of the competitions are listed by us, for free, but some of the listings are paid for by the competition promoter to give them greater prominence. Occasionally, we earn a commission when you click on a promoted competition and then go on to enter it.
