Sweepstake guidelines

Sweepstake competitions can be a fun way to help raise money for Children North East, but there are some basic rules that you will need to follow if you are planning on running your own sweepstake:

1. The entry price must be the same for all participants.
2. You need to decide before hosting your competition if the entry money will be split between the winner and the Charity, or if you are going to have a separate prize with all entry fees going to the Charity. Whichever approach you take, participants must be informed before they enter and the host cannot make a profit (ie funds will need to be donated).
3. Participants in your office sweepstake must all be employed to work from the same location.
4. You must not sell entry on the street or house to house.
