Responsible Play

At Absolute Competitions, we want everyone to enjoy the thrill of our tech and gaming giveaways. However, it is deeply important to us that our community plays safely and always within their means. Winning a PS5 or a cash jackpot should be a fun experience, not a financial burden.

Although our giveaways are legally structured as free prize draws—not gambling—we take our duty of care seriously. We believe any pay-to-play environment requires strict responsible play measures.

Our Safety & Control Tools

To ensure Absolute Competitions remains a safe environment, we have implemented several strict technical measures to put you in control:

  • Safe Payment (Debit Card Only): To promote responsible play and protect our community, we operate a strict debit-card-only policy. We do not accept credit cards, PayPal, or “Buy Now, Pay Later” services for any competition entries to ensure participants only ever play with cleared funds.

  • Player-Controlled Affordability Dashboard: Your account comes with a built-in spend limit tool. You can log into your dashboard at any time to set a maximum monthly spend limit (including setting it to £0) that you cannot exceed.

  • Strict Age Verification: You must be 18 or older to create an account. We will ask for ID before any prize is handed to the prize winner.

  • Ticket Caps: We set a strict maximum number of entries per person for every single competition to prevent excessive spending on a single draw.

Tips for Staying in Control

  • Play for Fun: View our competitions as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money, escape personal problems, or solve financial issues.

  • Set a Budget: Only spend what you can comfortably afford to lose. Use your account dashboard to lock in your monthly budget.

  • Don’t Chase Losses: If you don’t win a draw, don’t feel pressured to buy more tickets for the next one to “make up” for it. Every draw is independent and random.

Need to Take a Break?

If you feel you are spending too much time or money on the site, we offer immediate tools to help you step back:

1. Short-Term Pause: Using the tools in your account dashboard, you can instantly apply a temporary block to your account if you just need a short break for a few days or weeks.

2. Formal Self-Exclusion (Minimum 6 Months): If you need a longer, strictly enforced break, please email us at support@absolute-comps.co.uk with the subject line “Self-Exclusion.” Our team will formally suspend your account and remove you from all marketing lists for a minimum period of 6 months.
