MAKE Southwest Competitions Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions relate to the requirements of the Gambling Act 2005 & December 2009

1. Wherein: Prize competitions and free draws are free of statutory regulatory control under the Gambling Act 2005. Such competitions and draws can therefore be organised commercially for private benefit and profit. This contrasts with public lotteries, which are the preserve of good causes, and must, unless they qualify in one of the ‘exempt’ categories, operate under a licence issued by the Gambling Commission (the Commission). Lottery operating licences are only issued to non-commercial societies and external lottery managers who promote lotteries on their behalf.

2. MAKE Southwest (formerly Devon Guild of Craftsmen) as organisers of competitions and free draws are aware that although they fall outside the ambit of the Gambling Act, we are considerate of the other rules and regulations in place when developing and running their scheme.

3. MAKE Southwest d runs gallery prize competitions, where you do not pay to enter and where success depends, at least in part, on the exercise of skill, judgement or knowledge by the participants. This distinguishes them from lotteries, where entry demands payment - and either success depends wholly on chance or, in a complex lottery, the first stage relies wholly on chance.

4. MAKE Southewest will be able, upon request to produce evidence that the skill, knowledge or judgement element eliminated a significant proportion of either actual or potential entrants, in order to select a prize winner.
