Fin&Win Competitions
Effective Date: 01/12/2025
Company Name: Fin&Win Competitions (operated by Devon Aquatics Ltd)
1. Our Commitment
Fin&Win Competitions is committed to promoting safe, responsible, and enjoyable participation. Our prize draws are designed for fun — supporting the aquarium hobby community.
We believe competitions should be exciting, social, and fair, never harmful or stressful.
2. Not Gambling
Fin&Win Competitions operates as a UK prize competition business — not a gambling provider.
- There are fixed ticket numbers and transparent published odds.
- No skill-based questions are required for paid entry.
- Free postal entry is always available (see Terms & Conditions).
Even though this is not gambling, responsible behaviour still matters.
3. Play Responsibly
- Set a personal monthly spending limit — and stick to it.
- Only participate if you can afford it comfortably.
- Never chase wins, losses, or outcomes.
- Competitions should be entertainment, not a financial plan.
- Take breaks if participation stops feeling fun.
4. Age Restrictions
Fin&Win Competitions is strictly for UK residents aged 18 or older.
We use age verification and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time. Accounts created by or for minors will be closed immediately.
5. Signs You May Need a Break
- Spending more than intended
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or stressed about entering
- Entering to “win money back”

- Difficulty stopping or limiting spending
If any apply to you — pause, reflect, and consider support options below.
6. Self-Exclusion & Account Controls

Simply email us — support is confidential, respectful, and fast.
