Competition Sites

That's one thing I've noticed. In the last three bike draws, two times, the winning ticket was purchased within 2 hours of the draw and the other was from a free ticket given out from early bird.

I've never actually thought about doing competitions. I get the win a bike advert come up on FB.

Maybe I should try them.

I've bought a ticket for an Abba stand. Can't see where to claim 10 pounds credit?

These guys are good: www.fuunc.com

They're brand new so the bikes don't get anywhere near sell out!

I'm wondering how those sites are legal.

From the two that have links in the last page of this thread, they don't mention a UK gambling commission licence anywhere.

They aren't a free draw, because you have to pay to enter. They aren't a prize competition, because they don't have fairly difficult questions to answer. The nearest match would be a lottery, particularly for the cash prizes.

You need a licence to run a lottery, and a load of compliance activities to get the licence.

They don't need gambling licenses because of free postal entry. The gambling commission have openly stated that no laws are being broken by these sites.

As I said, the only winner is the promoter in the long term.

These type of sites are popping up all the time but most of them launch with really shit prizes and either never take off or build up over a long period to better prizes.

However, now and again you get some that pop up and want to do decent prizes from the off and are prepared to lose a bit of money. These are the ones you want to find and get onto right at the start.

I've personally maxed out many new sites big prizes and won them. I didn't get the bikes on Fuunc but either would have been a great return had I won them.

You just have to find them and follow them and keep an eye out. You also want to make sure they're guaranteeing the prizes no matter what.

Well, winning jackets and boots is pretty sweet, even if the bike’s still elusive. I’ve used a few of these sites myself, but haven’t hit anything big yet—mostly smaller stuff. A friend of mine, though, swears by them and won a gaming setup a while back. If you're into trying your luck with different games or competitions, you might want to check out https://themulligans.org. They’ve got a good variety of stuff to keep things interesting. You never know when your next win might be.
