Free Postal Entry - How It Works
We offer a free postal entry option for all of our competitions. This means you can enter without paying for an online entry, as long as you follow the steps below.
How to Enter by Post
To enter a competition for free, you’ll need to send us an open postcard (no envelopes) with the required details clearly written on it.
Your postcard must include:
• The name of the competition you want to enter
• A statement confirming you’ve read and understood the Competition Terms & Conditions
• Your full contact details (so we can match the entry to your account)
Postcards should be sent to:
Nero Competitions
Address 1
Address 2
Ashford, Kent
Postcode
Important Postal Entry Rules
• You must pay first or second-class postage for each entry
• One postcard = one entry (bulk entries or multiple postcards in one envelope won’t be accepted)
• Postal entries must not be delivered by hand or posted directly through the letterbox
• You can submit the same number of postal entries as paid online entries for each competition, per registered account
• Every postal entry has exactly the same chance of winning as an online entry
If you’d like your entry to be included in a Golden Ball prize, make sure you clearly state this on your postcard.
Entry Deadlines & Competition Limits
• All entries (postal and online) must arrive before the competition closes
• Each valid entry is randomly allocated a number or spin, just like online entries
• If a competition sells out early, no further entries can be accepted, including postal ones
Entry Confirmation
Sending a postcard doesn’t automatically mean you’re entered.
You’ll be officially entered once:
• The entry appears in your online account or
• You receive an email confirming your entry
Until then, the entry isn’t considered valid.
Incomplete or Invalid Entries
We reserve the right to:
• Refuse entries that are incomplete or unclear
• Disqualify entries if we believe the rules haven’t been followed
This helps keep competitions fair for everyone.
