Platform Basics
How to use Competition Showroom
Competition Showroom is a premium competition and raffle aggregator. We scour the web for the best prizes—from cars and luxury watches to cash and tech—and bring them all into one place. Use our filters and Value Ratio to find the best competitions without visiting dozens of sites. We handle the discovery, you handle the winning.
The Compare Tool
Ever wondered if a £2 entry is better than a £5 entry for the same car? Use our Compare Tool to see up to 3 competitions side-by-side. Click 'Compare' on any prize card, then hit the purple Compare button to see an in-depth breakdown of metrics, dates, and provider quality.
Navigating Categories
Use the sidebar to jump between Cars, Cash, Tech, and more. Our smart categories ensure you only see what you're interested in, with custom filters like 'Cash Alternative' for car draws.
Glosary & Metrics
Cash Value
The Cash Value represents the estimated market-accurate resale value of the prize. If it's a car, we use current market data. If it's a cash draw, it's the total cash amount. This helps you understand exactly what the win is worth in real-world terms, allowing for a true 'Value for Money' calculation.
Ticket Price
The cost to enter the competition for a single ticket. Some providers offer bundles (e.g., 10 tickets for £15 when 1 is £2), so we always recommend clicking 'Visit Site' to see the latest bulk discounts.
Value Ratio
This is our proprietary value metric. It is the total ticket revenue divided by the prize's cash value. A lower Value Ratio means better value for the player. For example, a 1.2 ratio is better than a 2.5 ratio. It is the gold standard for finding the most efficient way to spend your entry budget.
Draw Date / Liquidity Date
When the competition officially closes and the prize is awarded. Many competitions have a 'Guaranteed Draw Date', while others may extend if tickets aren't sold. We highlight the confirmed dates to help you manage your expectations.
Tickets Sold Bar
Displayed in the Compare Modal, this shows how close a competition is to selling out. Low ticket volume competitions often have better odds, but high-demand prizes sell out fast. Timing your entry when a draw is 90%+ sold can ensure a quick result.
Provider / Operator
The company hosting the competition (e.g., BOTB, RevComps, 7days). We vet providers for transparency, fairness, and speed of delivery. Only the most reputable operators make it onto Competition Showroom.
Strategies for Success
Finding the Best Deals
Use our 'Value Ratio' sort (Low to High) to find competitions where the total ticket revenue is closest to the prize value. These are often 'hidden gems' giving you a statistically better chance of a high-value win.
The Early Bird Advantage
Many providers run 'Flash Sales' or 'Instant Win' bonuses in the first few hours of a competition. Check Competition Showroom daily and sort by 'Newest' to catch these early opportunities before the ticket prices rise or bonuses expire.
Instant Wins
Some competitions offer 'Instant Win' prizes where you can win smaller cash amounts or tech immediately upon buying a ticket, even before the main draw. We flag these competitions so you can maximize your chances of winning something today.
Managing Your Budget
Competition Showroom is designed to help you play smarter, not more. By using our metrics, you can ensure that every pound you spend goes toward the competitions with the highest mathematical probability of success.
