The RaffleRadar Blog
Ticket price only tells part of the story. A cheaper ticket might get you more entries, while another competition could offer better overall odds or a much bigger prize for the same spend. That’s why we’ve added Spend Search to RaffleRadar — choose your budget and compare competitions based on what your money actually gets you, using three different search options.
The UK prize competition industry has come a long way from a collection of relatively small independent websites giving away cars and cash. It is now estimated to be worth around £1.3 billion a year, attracts roughly 7.4 million adult players, and has caught the attention of some seriously well-funded businesses.
Another major player has moved into the UK prize draw market. German lottery group ZEAL Network has bought SevenCanyon, the company behind 7days Performance, Redline Competitions and UKCC, in a deal worth up to £38.6 million. It is a sizeable takeover, but the bigger story is what it says about an industry that is quickly growing up.
Winning a multi-million-pound home for the cost of a few entries naturally sounds too good to be true. Raffle House is a genuine, established UK competition operator with real prize winners, but that does not necessarily mean every draw will award the property shown in the advertising. The most important details are often found in the small print.
Car competitions are everywhere, but the flashiest car or cheapest ticket does not always offer the best chance of winning. The figure that really matters is how many valid entries you are competing against. RaffleRadar brings together car competitions from UK operators and highlights the most undersold draws, helping you find better odds that other players may have missed.
House competitions have serious scroll-stopping power. The UK market now offers everything from family homes and city apartments to furnished multimillion-pound properties, sometimes bundled with cars and spending money. We have selected five of the strongest UK house competition sites based on their history, previous winners, prize details, draw transparency and winner options. However, even reputable operators can run poor-value draws, so always compare the ticket price, entry limit and percentage sold.
Finding the right competition can be frustrating when nothing suitable is available. With RaffleRadar Email Search Alerts, you can save any search and receive an email as soon as a matching competition is listed.
If you’ve ever found a competition you liked but struggled to find it again later, you’re not alone. With hundreds of prize draws appearing across UK competition websites, keeping track can be difficult. That’s why we’ve introduced Saved Competitions on RaffleRadar.
RaffleRadar has always aimed to be more than a competition listing website. We want it to be a place where enthusiasts can discover great prizes, share useful information and help one another find better opportunities. That’s why comments are now live on every competition page.
