Giving away prizes

    I'm considering giving away monthly prizes on one of my sites that allows users to submit comments.

    Ideally, this will be a random selection from all those who have posted in the month. However, I'm aware that there may be legal / commercial implications to this. My site / company is UK based and I'm sure there is legislation around such activity but don't know what it is.

    Is anyone able to help me out / suggest ways to work safely within the law or point me to further sources of information?

    Thanks,

    Hi!

    I've just ordered some T-shirts and mugs so that I can do the same thing. I'm not sure about other countries but here in the UK we have a commission that look into all competitions to make sure they're not rigged.

    I'm pretty sure that the odd mug won't be a problem though.

    Cheers, pondlife.
