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 Best Odds search finds the competitions where your chosen spend gives you the strongest overall odds.
RaffleRadar looks at how many entries your budget can buy and compares that against the total ticket pool for each competition.
For example, your spend might buy you 20 entries in one competition but only five in another. However, if the second competition has a much smaller ticket pool, those five entries could still give you better overall odds.
Rather than having to calculate this yourself, RaffleRadar does the comparison and brings the competitions offering the strongest odds for your selected spend towards the top.
It answers a simple question:
“Where does my budget give me the best chance?”
If you simply want to get the highest number of entries for your money, this is the search to use.
Most Entries ranks competitions by how many tickets your chosen budget can buy.
If you select £10, for example, a 20p ticket could give you 50 entries while a £2 ticket would give you five.
The search does the maths across competitions and shows you where your money buys the most tickets.
That doesn’t necessarily mean those competitions have the best odds, because the overall ticket pool still matters. It simply gives you an easy way to find where your chosen spend gets you the greatest number of entries.
Sometimes you’re not looking for the most tickets or the strongest odds.
You just want to know:
“What’s the biggest prize I can enter for with my budget?”
The Biggest Prize search finds the highest-value prizes among competitions where your selected spend is enough to buy at least one entry.
So whether you’re looking at cars, cash, watches, tech or other prizes, you can quickly see the biggest opportunities available within the amount you’ve chosen to spend.
The three searches are deliberately different because not everyone looks for the same thing when entering competitions.
Best Odds focuses on where your spend gives you the strongest chance.
Most Entries focuses on where your money buys the greatest number of tickets.
Biggest Prize focuses on the highest-value prize you can enter within your budget.
There isn’t one search that is automatically better than the others.
It depends entirely on what matters most to you.
You might prefer stronger odds.
You might want more entries.
Or you might be happy with fewer entries if it means having a chance at a much bigger prize.
RaffleRadar lets you compare all three.
Most competition websites are built around individual ticket prices.
But that isn’t always how people decide what to enter.
You might simply know that you’re happy to spend a certain amount and want to see what your money can get you.
Without Spend Search, that means comparing ticket prices, working out how many entries you can afford, checking ticket pools and comparing prize values across different operators.
RaffleRadar can now do that work for you.
Choose your budget, choose what matters most, and see the competitions that best match the way you want to spend it.
It’s another step towards making UK competition comparison simpler, clearer and more useful.
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.
