British Gas x Absolute Radio On-Air Competition Terms and Conditions
Last updated 30th Oct 2026
TERMS AND CONDITIONS for “British Gas x Absolute Radio No Repeat Guarantee – On-Air Competition (the “Competition”).
These terms and conditions (the “Specific Terms”) for the Competition should be read alongside our general competition terms and conditions at: http://www.bauerlegal.co.uk/radio-competition-terms.html (the “General Terms”) which will also apply to this Competition. Where there is any conflict between these Specific Terms and the General Terms, the Specific Terms shall prevail.
1.ENTRY ROUTES AND COSTS
Entry to the Competition is available via a Telephone call to the Absolute Radio studio (0330 123 1215).
Entrants are limited to one entry per day.
Entrants may be charged standard network rate by their telephone provider.
2.COMPETITION MECHANIC AND HOW TO WIN
On the following dates one song will be repeated each day during the No Repeat Guarantee on the Absolute Radio main station only (between 09:00 – 17:00):
• Monday 2nd November 2026
• Tuesday 3rd November 2026
• Wednesday 4th November 2026
• Thursday 5th November 2026
• Friday 6th November 2026
Once the repeated song has been played in full, phone lines will be opened for 10 minutes. Within that window, a caller will be selected at random and, to be eligible to win, they must correctly identify the full name of the song-title and artist that was repeated in full during the Absolute Radio No Repeat Guarantee.
If the entrant cannot correctly name the song and artist and is therefore ineligible to win the Competition, then subsequent lines will be answered within the allotted 10 minutes until one caller answers correctly or the 10-minute window expires.
In the event that no entrants can correctly name the song and artist before the 10-minute window expires, then there will be no winner and no prize will be awarded for that day of the Competition.
- ENTRY PERIOD
Entries must be submitted during the following entry period:
From Monday 2nd November 2026, 09:00 (the “Start Time”) to Friday 6th November 2026, 17:00 (“End Time”), during which this period is defined as the ‘Competition Period’.
The Competition Period will include five rounds (one each day):
