Try My Free postal entry
Every competition on Try My Luck can be entered for free by post. Free entries have the same chance of winning as paid entries.
How to enter for free
Get a postcard or piece of A6 paper
Any plain postcard or piece of paper roughly A6 size (105 × 148 mm) works. Hand-written or printed both fine.
Write the required details
All of: your full name, full UK postal address, date of birth, email, phone number, the competition name, and your answer to the skill question.
Post it to us
Send to the address below with a first-class stamp. You can also send second class if you prefer — costs you less than a stamp either way.
We log your entry
Every postcard we receive before the closing date is logged with a unique entry ID, the same way paid entries are. Same draw, same chance.

Required details on the postcard
- Full name (as it appears on your ID — required for prize fulfilment if you win)
- Full UK postal address including postcode
- Date of birth (you must be 18+)
- Email address
- Phone number
- The exact name of the competition you're entering (e.g. "Tesla Model 3 — 30 June 2026")
- Your answer to that competition's skill question
If any of the above is missing, the entry will be invalid and we will return your postcard with a note explaining why.
Rules and limits
- One entry per envelope. If you want multiple free entries to the same draw, send multiple separate envelopes.
- No limit on number of envelopes. You may send as many free entries as you wish.
- One competition per envelope. Don't combine multiple competitions in one envelope — only the first listed will be entered.
- Must arrive before the closing date. Allow 3–5 working days for first-class post. We are not responsible for postal delays.
- UK residents 18+ only. Same rule as paid entries.
- Photocopies, printed labels, multi-entry forms are all fine — we don't require anything to be hand-written.
Why we offer this
UK law (Gambling Act 2005 s.95) means that a paid prize competition with random selection is only legal without a gambling licence if there is a genuinely free alternative entry route. We take this seriously: free entries have the exact same chance of winning, are not capped, and are not buried in the small print.
If you ever feel the free entry route is harder to use, less prominent, or less likely to win than the paid route, please contact us — we want to know so we can fix it.
