• For existing Residential/SME account holders:
  • If an entrant has an existing Residential or SME electricity or gas account with Simply Energy prior to the Promotional Period, they will automatically be entered into a Quarterly Draw if they continue to be a Residential or SME electricity or gas account holder until the entry close date for the respective Quarterly Period draw, unless they choose to opt-out of the Promotion prior to the entry close date for the respective Quarterly Period draw via the instructions provided in the email received from the Promoter (1 entry awarded per eligible account).

*Must be signed up to e-billing/registered for direct debit (as applicable) by the respective end date for a Quarterly Period to receive a bonus entry into that respective Quarterly Draw.

^The number of bonus entries that an entrant will receive into a Quarterly Draw for being a Simply Energy Customer is based on number of continuous years they have been a Simply Energy Customer as at the respective close date for that Quarterly Period draw. They will not receive bonus entries for this specific bonus entry mechanic per account, it will be per customer. E.g. if they have had a Simply Energy residential gas account for five (5) consecutive years and a Simply Energy residential electricity account for 1 year, they will receive five (5) extra entries for this bonus entry mechanic (based on the account they have had for longer). If a customer leaves Simply Energy and comes back at a later time, the time at which they are a customer will be calculated from the point they rejoin as a customer.
