No one likes extensive rules and regulations, however, consumers have asked for specific rules when it comes to winning prizes on radio stations, and due to this, we outline our General Prizewinner Terms and Conditions for you below.

1. General Competition Rules

1.1 Star Broadcasting Pty Ltd (58 009 476 653) (SB) operates as River949.  River949 may conduct competitions from time to time pursuant to which prizes of money or other property are made available to eligible persons (as set out in clause 3.1) ("River949 Competition").

1.2 These rules say who is eligible to enter a River949 Competition, how prizes will be awarded and how they may be claimed ("General Competition Rules"). In addition to the General Competition Rules, other specific terms and conditions may also apply to particular River949 Competitions ("Specific Competition Rules"). Any Specific Competition Rules applicable to any particular River949 Competition will be posted on www.River949.com.au ("Web-Site") and available upon request from River949 reception, during normal business hours, located at cnr Pine Mountain Rd, Hill Street, Raymonds Hill North Ipswich 4305.
