Frequently Asked Questions
What is this site?
CompWatch is a free directory that aggregates UK prize competition listings into one place. We collect information from competition websites across the UK so you can browse prizes, compare ticket prices and see closing dates without visiting each site individually.
Is it free to use?
Yes, CompWatch is completely free to use. We do not charge for access to any of the information on the site.
How often are listings updated?
Listings are updated automatically throughout the day. Competitions that are ending soon are checked more frequently to ensure closing times and ticket counts are as accurate as possible.
Why are some prices or odds missing?
Some competition websites display their information in ways that make it difficult to extract automatically. If a price or ticket count is missing, it usually means we were unable to read it from the source page. We are constantly improving our data collection to fill in gaps.
Are you affiliated with the competition sites?
No. CompWatch is an independent directory and has no affiliation with any of the competition operators listed. We do not run, sponsor or endorse any competitions.
How are odds calculated?
Where available, we show the number of tickets sold alongside the total number of tickets. This gives you a rough idea of your chances. Keep in mind that these numbers change as more tickets are sold, and the final odds depend on the total entries at the point the competition closes.
Can I enter competitions through this site?
Not directly. When you find a competition you are interested in, click through to the original competition website to enter. All purchases and entries are handled entirely by the competition operator.
How do I report incorrect information?
If you spot a listing with incorrect or outdated information, please let us know at enquiries@compwatch.co.uk and we will investigate.
