Poppy Appeal Draw terms & conditions

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully before entering the draw.

 1. Participation in the Poppy Appeal Christmas 2011 Draw costs £1 per entry.
 2. Profits from this raffle will be donated to The Royal British Legion Poppy Support. Registered Charity: The Royal British Legion, Charity Number 219279. Profits from our joint activity with Poppy Scotland will be shared between The Royal British Legion and Poppyscotland, Scottish Charity No. SC014096.
 3. In order to promote responsible gambling, a maximum of 20 raffle entries may be bought per new person playing our raffles (44 tickets for previous players). Any requests to purchase entries above these limits may be considered at the discretion of the promoter. Please telephone 0800 954 0256 or email raffenquiries@britishlegion.org.uk and provide us with your telephone number so that we can contact you.
 4. The Raffle is open to all mainland Great Britain residents over the age of 16 (this excludes Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and BFPO addresses and is due to Gambling Commission legislation). It is illegal for tickets or raffle entries to be sold to, or by a person under 16 years of age. Any person found to be under 16 years of age automatically forfeits the right to any prize.
 5. Raffle entries may be purchased online using a credit card. We regret that purchases may only be made using a credit card, debit cards are not accepted. This is because debit cards may be obtained by persons under the age of 16, and we experience great difficulty in verifying a cardholder's age.
 6.

Raffle entries must be purchased online before midnight on 16th January 2012. The closing date for postal entries is 16th January 2012. Late entries will be transferred to the next Draw (Spring 2012) which opens in February 2012.
