Most people enter on-air competitions by text or perhaps online, but there is usually a fee attached to that, because the competitions are revenue-generators for the broadcaster and the free postal route ensures the promotion remains within the Gambling Act 2005.
Do you pay tax on prize money UK?
Rather than an income, participating in the lottery counts as gambling in the UK according to HMRC. So if you’re lucky enough to win, rest assured that your winnings are tax-free. It doesn’t matter how much you win or what game you play.

Promoters would get around the law by not requiring consumers to make that purchase to enter. You could buy the product, or you could simply send your name on a postcard in for the same chance of winning – the infamous No Purchase Necessary route.
Is it illegal to charge for a giveaway?
It’s illegal in the United States to run a giveaway that requires a purchase or a membership to enter. That’s why, when you read sweepstakes rules, you’ll see terms like: “No purchase necessary,” “No purchase necessary to enter or win,” or “a purchase will not affect your chances of winning.”
