Responsible Play
Prize draws are meant to be fun. Most of our players enter for a few quid here and there, enjoy the anticipation, and move on with their lives. If that ever stops being the case for you, this page lists what to do next.
Our Approach
We are not a licensed gambling operator and we do not run our raffles like one. We are a free-entry prize draw — every paid raffle has a no-purchase-necessary postal route — but we still take player welfare seriously. We provide spending controls, account pauses, and clear signposting to people who can help if play stops feeling like fun.
If You Need Help Right Now
These are the UK organisations players are most likely to recognise. All are free, confidential, and independent of us.
BeGambleAware runs the National Gambling Helpline. Call 0808 8020 133 (free, 24/7) or chat online at begambleaware.org.
GamCare offers one-to-one support, group sessions, and self-help tools at gamcare.org.uk. Their forum and live chat are open round the clock.
GAMSTOP is the UK self-exclusion scheme for licensed online gambling sites. We are not a member (we are not a licensed gambling operator), but if your concern is broader than just this site you can self-exclude across every UK-licensed online operator at gamstop.co.uk in one go.

Account Controls
You can take direct control of how you play from your account settings:
Set a spending limit (daily, weekly, or monthly) so the site stops you spending more than you have decided to.
Take a break — pause your account for a fixed period. While paused you cannot enter raffles or receive marketing from us.
Close your account permanently if you are done with us.
Once a limit or break is in place we will not let you raise or shorten it during the active period. We can only loosen restrictions after a 24-hour cool-off has passed.
Age Verification
You must be 18 or over to enter any raffle on this site, paid or free. We may ask you to verify your age before you enter, before you withdraw winnings, or at any other point if we have reason to. If you cannot satisfactorily prove you are 18 or over, we will refund any paid entries and remove you from upcoming draws.
Talk to Us
If something on the site is making it harder than it should be to stay in control — confusing limits, unclear messaging, marketing you did not ask for — please tell us at help@mixtcg.com. We will fix it.
