How to use the free postal route
Last updated: 4 September 2026.
No purchase is necessary. The postal route is available for every open Competition under the information published on that Competition page. You must be aged 18 or over, live in mainland England, Scotland or Wales, and already hold a free registered Flagship account.
Prepare one open postcard
Use one open postcard for one Entry. Clearly and legibly write:
- your full legal name;
- your full date of birth;
- your full residential address;
- the email address registered to your Flagship account;
- your telephone number;
- the exact Competition title or unique Competition code; and
- the declaration shown below.
I confirm that I am aged 18 or over and agree to the Flagship Competitions Terms and Conditions.
Post it separately
Address each postcard to:
Flagship Competitions Limited
7 Exton Close
Chatham
Kent
ME5 8QN
- Post each postcard separately with ordinary first- or second-class postage paid.
- Recorded or special delivery is not required.
- Do not put multiple Entries on one postcard.
- Do not enclose multiple postcards in an envelope or package.
- Do not submit bulk Entries.
- Do not hand deliver a postcard or put it directly through the Promoter’s letterbox.
Receipt deadline and account match
The postcard must be physically received before the postal closing date and time shown on the Competition page. Allow enough time for delivery. Proof of posting is not proof of receipt. The email address on the postcard must match an existing Flagship account.
Allocation and equal treatment
One accepted postcard receives one randomly allocated available Ticket. Paid and postal Entries count towards the same competition-specific customer limit. Both routes enter the same final ticket pool and each valid Ticket has the same chance of winning the main prize. A postal Entry does not create a payment-provider transaction or paid order.
Why a postcard may be rejected
- information is incomplete or illegible;
- no matching account exists or the email address does not match;
- the entrant is under 18 or outside the eligible territory;
- the postcard arrives late;
- the Competition is wrong, unavailable or closed;
- the combined customer limit would be exceeded;
- the submission is duplicate, bulk, enclosed, hand delivered or put through the letterbox;
- postage is incorrect or unpaid; or
- another published requirement has not been met.

Paying online
Card payments for standard prize draws are subject to a maximum Flagship paid-card spend of £250 per registered player in each UK calendar month. A lower personal limit or account restriction may also apply. Available payment methods are shown only when entries are open. An online entry is valid only after payment is confirmed and an entry number is allocated.
