Gambling In Great Britain – Prize Competitions and Free Draws

Whilst prize competitions and free draws are exempt from Gambling Commission regulation under the 2005 Gambling Act, the legislation fails to establish precisely which kinds of games qualify for these categories. Interpreting the Act has thus proved problematic, in particular for premium rate phone-in television competitions.
