Prize competitions, promotions and Advertising Standards

Prize competitions and promotions are becoming increasingly popular. Get things right and promotions can help to maximise income and product sales. However, get things wrong and you could find yourself falling short of Advertising Standards or worst still, your competition could be considered an illegal lottery.

Our specialist team can advise on all aspects of your prize competitions or product promotions, whether internally to your teams or those promotions aimed at your customers. We can support you with ensuring that your competition and promotion is run legitimately, in compliance with the law and the requirements of Advertising Standards. We can also provide a legal opinion as part of Meta’s RMG application process to ensure that you can continue to advertise your competitions and promotions on your social media accounts.
