As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly draft prize draw terms for your UK business.

This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsA solicitor is the alternative for checking whether the terms properly cover the promotion; no price is stated here.

If this goes wrong, entrants may rely on unclear or misleading rules and your business may face complaints, corrective work or legal consequences.

How to actually do it

Open a document containing the promotion brief and gather the organiser's legal name, address, contact details, entry dates, eligibility rules, entry method, prize, winner process and any purchase requirement.
Check the promotion's social media, website or platform rules and copy the relevant restrictions into the brief, including any required wording or prohibited entry methods.
Paste the complete brief into an AI chatbot with the supplied prompt, replacing each bracketed slot and leaving [INFORMATION NEEDED] where you do not know an answer.
Read the AI checklist and resolve each missing point by checking your promotion plan, prize supplier and platform rules before asking for a revised draft.
Paste the completed answers back into the chatbot and ask it to produce a clean final draft plus a separate list of points requiring a solicitor's check.
Compare every name, date, time, prize description, entry route, eligibility condition and contact detail against the promotion brief and current website copy.
Send the draft, brief and unresolved-points list to a UK solicitor for review before publishing the terms or launching the draw.

Prompt

Draft UK prize draw terms and conditions for this promotion using only the information supplied below. Do not invent facts, legal requirements, dates, eligibility rules or contact details. Where information is missing, write [INFORMATION NEEDED] and list the question I must answer. Separate the final draft from a checklist of unresolved legal and factual points. Use clear British English and structure the terms with headings for organiser, eligibility, entry period, how to enter, winner selection, notification, the prize, restrictions, publication of winner details, personal data, disqualification, changes or cancellation, liability, governing law and contact details. Distinguish a prize draw based on chance from any competition based on skill, and flag if the promotion details do not support the description. Do not claim that the draft is legally compliant. Flag any point that needs checking against current UK law, advertising rules, platform rules or specialist advice. Promotion details: Organiser legal name: [NAME]. Registered address: [ADDRESS]. Contact email: [EMAIL]. Promotion name: [NAME]. Promotion start date and time: [DATE AND TIME]. Promotion closing date and time: [DATE AND TIME]. Who can enter and exclusions: [ELIGIBILITY]. Geographic restrictions: [LOCATION]. Entry method and any purchase requirement: [ENTRY METHOD]. Maximum entries: [LIMIT]. Prize description and approximate value if known: [PRIZE]. Number of winners: [NUMBER]. Winner selection method and date: [METHOD]. Winner notification method and response deadline: [METHOD AND DEADLINE]. Rules for an unclaimed prize: [RULE]. Any third-party platform involved: [PLATFORM]. Proposed use of entrant data: [DATA USE]. Proposed publication of winner details: [WINNER PUBLICATION]. Any other restrictions: [RESTRICTIONS].

What it gets wrong

AI cannot take responsibility for whether the promotion complies with UK consumer, advertising, gambling or data protection requirements.
AI cannot reliably identify every legal issue created by an unusual prize, purchase requirement, entry mechanic or platform rule.
AI cannot confirm that its wording reflects current UK law or the latest rules of a third-party platform.
AI cannot make the business liability transfer to the tool or replace a solicitor's review of a serious promotion.

What caps this at PARTLY: legal accountability, regulated advice and judgement under ambiguity.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT write prize draw terms and conditions?: Yes, it can produce a useful first draft from complete promotion details. It cannot confirm that the terms are legally complete or take responsibility if the wording is wrong, so a serious promotion needs a UK solicitor's review.
Do I need a solicitor for prize draw terms?: Not every simple draft needs the same level of review, but the legal risk remains with your business. Use a solicitor where the promotion involves a purchase requirement, unusual eligibility rules, significant prizes, several jurisdictions or unclear data use.
What information does AI need to draft prize draw terms?: Give it the organiser's identity and contact details, dates, eligibility, entry method, geographic limits, prize, winner selection, notification process, unclaimed-prize rule, data use and any platform restrictions. Missing details should be marked as questions, not guessed.
Are AI-generated prize draw terms legally compliant in the UK?: No tool can establish that from a generic draft alone. The terms must be checked against the current facts, applicable UK rules and any platform requirements, and this is not professional advice.
