Mindful Play & Player Protection
DR3AMS controls designed to keep participation enjoyable and within personal limits.
Play for the dream. Keep it fun. DR3AMS prize draws are entertainment, not a way to solve money problems, replace income or create financial security.

2. Spend limits
Set a personal monthly limit that is comfortable after essential bills, savings and other commitments. A limit of £0 is appropriate if you do not want to spend on entries.
A £250 per month cap applies to credit-card payments. Credit cards are not accepted for instant-win competitions.
Limit increases take effect only after a 24-hour cooling-off period. Decreases take effect immediately.

3. Pause and suspension
- Short pause: step away from entering for a defined period. Shorter pauses are available when you need time away without a full suspension.
- Temporary suspension: a minimum six-month block that prevents entries and suppresses promotional marketing during the suspension.
- Permanent closure: close the account and stop participation, subject to any records DR3AMS must retain.

4. Marketing control
You can opt out of promotional email, SMS and push notifications at any time. Promotional marketing is suppressed during a Mindful Play suspension so a break is not undermined by entry reminders or offers.

5. Payment methods
Available payment methods are shown at checkout. DR3AMS applies payment restrictions required by law, applicable codes and the rules of the relevant competition.
Credit cards are not accepted on instant-win competitions. Where credit-card payments are accepted for other competitions, the monthly credit-card cap is £250.
Do not borrow money or use credit intended for essential spending to enter a prize competition.

7. Independent help
Independent support is available from organisations including Citizens Advice and National Debtline for money concerns, and Samaritans or Mind if participation is affecting your emotional wellbeing.
These organisations are independent from DR3AMS. Their current websites provide the latest contact options and opening information.

8. Our intervention
DR3AMS may contact you, restrict activity or suspend an account where participation creates a credible player-protection, fraud, age or vulnerability concern.
An intervention is intended to protect customers and the integrity of the platform. Relevant decisions are recorded and can be raised through the Complaints Policy.

9. If you need a break now
Stop entering and use the available account controls or contact Customer Support to request a pause, suspension, marketing opt-out or account closure.
If you are worried about debt, essential spending or your wellbeing, seek independent support rather than relying on a potential prize.
