How Competitions Work
What prize draws are, who can enter, and how they're run.
What are AquaLots prize competitions?
Prize competitions are raffle-style draws where you buy tickets for a chance to win an aquarium prize — equipment, livestock, vouchers, or other aquatics items. A winner is selected at random from all valid entries once the competition closes or sells out.
Who can enter?
Competitions are open to UK residents aged 18 and over with a registered AquaLots account. Some competitions may have additional eligibility restrictions, which will be stated on the competition page.
How do I know a competition is legitimate?
All competitions on AquaLots are hosted by AquaLots directly or by verified sellers. The prize description, draw date, ticket price, and maximum ticket count are all shown clearly on every competition page before you enter.
Can a competition be cancelled?
In rare circumstances — for example if a prize becomes unavailable — a competition may need to be cancelled. If this happens, all ticket purchases will be refunded in full. You will be notified by email.
What happens if not all tickets are sold by the draw date?
The draw still takes place on the listed draw date regardless of whether all tickets have been sold, unless stated otherwise on the competition page.
Where can I see the terms for a specific competition?
Full terms and conditions for each competition are shown on the competition's detail page. If you have any questions about a specific competition, contact us through our contact page.
