The Compassion Win-Win Winter Raffle Rules

General Rules

The Compassion Win-Win Winter Raffle is only open to residents of Great Britain over the age of 18 (this excludes Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and BFPO addresses according to Gambling Act 2005 regulations)
No tickets can be sold to, on behalf of, or for a person under the age of 18 years
The cost of each entry is £1. Players may purchase more than one entry, and payment must be in advance
If a ticket is sold unknowingly to, on behalf of, or for a person under the age of 18 then they will be exempt from the raffle and their prize and the stake will be returned
All proceeds from this raffle will be used for the charitable purposes of Compassion in World Farming
The prizes for The Compassion Win-Win Winter Raffle are 1st prize £2,000, 2nd prize £1,000, 3rd prize £500 and 5 x £100 runner up prizes. There are no alternatives to any prize
The Compassion Win-Win Winter Raffle Draw will be conducted on 14 January 2027. We will operate a combined online and offline draw ensuring that each entrant has an equal chance of winning each prize. The draw will be conducted utilising a Random Number Generator that has been tested and confirmed by an independent, Gambling Commission approved, third-party test. The results of the draw are final.
Based upon the number of entries in the financial year 2025/2026, the average chance of winning a prize for a single ticket is approximately 1 in 1769. Calculation based on a combination of the four raffle draws held in the financial year 2025/2026 (Raffle Draw dates: 10 April 2025; 24 July 2025; 2 October 2025; 15 January 2026).
Of the £90,204 received in ticket sales for the 2025/2026 Compassion raffle draws, 15.4% went on prizes, 43.2% on expenses, and 41.4% came back to Compassion to fund our work.
Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. 7 January 2027
Late entries will be treated as donations
Winners will be notified by post, email or telephone no later than two weeks after the draw date. Please keep your ticket number as proof of purchase
A list of winners will also be published on the website within two weeks of the draw date. These will only be in summary, for example Mrs Smith from Berkshire
Winners may be asked to take part in PR and promotional activity
If a prize is unclaimed after reasonable efforts have been made by Compassion in World Farming to contact the winner, then it will be entitled to dispose of the prize as it thinks fit. The winner has one month after notification to claim the prize
The Compassion in World Farming policies for raffles can be found here. This includes our policy on responsible gambling, underage gambling, protection of customer funds and our complaints procedure

Online entries

To enter the online raffle an entrant must self-certify that they are the required age to play. A confirmation email will be sent to the entrant confirming their numbers in the draw and thanking them for their participation. Random age verification checks are carried out at regular intervals. If an entrant is found to be under the required age their payment will be returned and they will not be entered into the draw
Entries must not be bought on behalf of somebody else
In order to promote responsible gambling, it is recommended that no more than 60 chances are to be purchased per person for the Raffle
Material changes to this raffle are not predicted to happen, but in the event that this occurs, we will notify all online entrants to this raffle by email. Where possible notification will be given 14 days in advance of any changes being made.

Customer funds

We are required by our licence to inform customers about what happens to funds which we hold on account for you, and the extent to which funds are protected in the event of insolvency. The Gambling Commission provides further information on our licence conditions detailing what we need to tell customers about their funds.

For online entries, we hold customer funds separate from company funds. This means that steps have been taken to protect customer funds but there is no absolute guarantee that all funds will be repaid. This meets the Gambling Commission's requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the level: medium protection. For more information, please see the customer funds insolvency ratings system.
