How Prize Draws Work in the UK
A plain-English guide to how online prize draws work in Great Britain — entries, closing dates, winner selection and prize delivery.
What is a prize draw?
A prize draw is a competition where people buy or earn entries for a chance to win a listed prize. On Snaffles, sellers list items and buyers enter from £1 per entry (unless stated otherwise).
Each draw has a published closing date. After closing, a verifiable random selection process chooses the winning entry.
How Snaffles runs draws
Listings show the prize, entry price, closing date and draw reference. Payments are processed securely through Stripe.
When a draw closes, the platform runs the selection process and publishes the result on the listing page. Winners are notified and prize delivery is tracked through the platform.
