Prize Indemnity Insurance
What is prize Indemnity insurance and how does it work? Well, have you ever wondered how businesses and charities can offer new homes, large sums of money, and expensive cars in competitions?
Prize indemnity insurance is one way to make it happen. It’s known as the hole-in-one insurance.
In short, it’s a type of insurance that enables companies to offer enticing, high-value prizes, and rewards without financial risk to the business. It transfers the financial risk of the prize to insurance. It also means businesses or charities with a small budget can offer a life-changing or high-value prize without the financial risk.

Why do I need prize indemnity insurance?
Offering high-value prizes may have benefits for your business, such as loyalty, increased patronage, high participation, brand awareness, and more.
However, there are financial risks to your business when offering high-value prizes.
Firstly, high-value prizes are expensive. Secondly, someone may or may not win. Thirdly, the prize(s) cost can leave a big hole in your cash flow and profit.
That’s why prize indemnity insurance is recommended to companies thinking about offering high-value prizes.
Your insurance adviser can help you understand your risks and how to transfer those risks to insurance.
How much does prize indemnity insurance cost?
The insurer will calculate your premium based on the value of the prize and the statistical odds of someone winning.
With prize indemnity cover in place, the insurer commits to paying for the prize, ensuring the winner receives their promised prize.
The policy will have a limit, generally equal to the value of the prize. That means the out-of-pocket cost to your business should someone win the award.
There are many insurers offering prize indemnity. Your insurance adviser will help you determine which product best suits your business needs and risk appetite.
Do I need special terms in the competition rules?
Your insurance adviser will work with you and the insurer to help you develop clear contest guidelines that meet the terms of your insurance coverage.
Your business and participants must follow the competition rules set by the insurer. This ensures that the insurer will cover the prize and removes any unfair advantage that may void the insurance contract.
