Do they have an age limit? How many times can you enter? Will I have to participate in other offers? These are all questions that should be answered by the terms and conditions. Once you're happy, it's time to participate. Usually this involves completing an online form or questionnaire. The length of these forms varies, but the majority can usually be completed in less than a few minutes. If you are interested, take a look at UK Competitions. You will likely be asked for your name, e-mail address, home address and perhaps other details. If you are planning to enter multiple competitions, it's worth setting up a secondary e-mail address (see below).Since the competitions that you will be entering are free, the competition operator will want something in return. Usually this is just an e-mail address, so they can register you for their newsletter. You can imagine how many newsletters you'll eventually begin receiving if you enter numerous competitions. Therefore, it's worth setting up a specialist e-mail address at a free e-mail service like Hotmail or Yahoo.

It's therefore a good idea to keep a regular check on your competitions e-mail. People really do win competitions on the Web and with a little persistence, you can too!
