What you're entering

Drawby runs prize competitions. You answer a skill question, and if you answer correctly you receive a ticket and go into a random draw with everyone else who answered correctly.

Two things follow from that:

• Answering correctly does not mean winning. The skill question decides whether you get a ticket. The draw itself is random.
• Most entrants will not win. There is one watch winner per competition. Your odds depend on how many tickets you hold against the total sold, and the allocation is published before each competition opens.

Buying a ticket is spending money on entertainment. It is not an investment, and it is not a way to acquire a watch below market value.

Common misconceptions

• The odds do not improve because you have entered before. Each draw is independent. A run of losses does not make a win more likely.
• Buying more tickets to recover what you have already spent does not work. You are spending more, not recovering anything.
• Crypto makes spending feel less real. A stablecoin balance can be easier to spend than money in a bank account. It is still your money.
• A cash alternative is not a refund. It is only available if you win.

Setting your own limits

Before you enter, decide:

• How much you are willing to spend in a month. Treat it as spent the moment you decide.
• How often you will check the site.
• What losing looks like. If losing the full amount would affect your rent, bills or debts, do not spend it.

If you want us to cap what you can spend on the Platform, email support@drawby.com with the amount and the period. We will apply it to your wallet and to any wallet we can link to you. We will not raise or remove a limit for 7 days after you ask us to, and we will always apply a reduction immediately.

Warning signs

It may be time to stop if you:

• Spend more than you planned, or more than you can afford
• Enter more competitions after a loss to try to make it back
• Borrow, sell things, or use money meant for something else to enter
• Hide your spending, or lie about it
• Feel anxious, low or irritable when you are not on the site
• Have tried to cut down and not managed it

None of these are character flaws. They are common, they are treatable, and the organisations below deal with them every day.

Taking a break

Cooling-off

Ask us for a break of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Email support@drawby.comwith "Cooling-off" and the length you want. During it you cannot enter competitions, but you can still see your account and claim any prize you have already won.

Self-exclusion

For a longer break, ask to be self-excluded for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanently. Email support@drawby.comwith "Self-exclusion" and the period.

We will:

• Block the wallet you entered with from buying tickets
• Block any other wallet we can link to you, and any wallet you tell us about
• Remove you from all marketing email
• Refuse to reinstate the account before the period ends, whatever you ask us during it
• Refuse a prize claim from you during the period, and re-draw instead

This has real limits. Accounts on Drawby are wallets, and there is nothing to stop someone creating a new wallet. We block what we can identify, and we check at prize claim, but we cannot promise a technical block that is impossible to circumvent. If you need a break that holds, use one of the blocking tools below alongside self-exclusion. They work at device level and are far harder to get around.

We take a self-exclusion request seriously and we will not chase you afterwards. You will not receive win-back emails, offers or reactivation prompts.
