Negative-EV Raffle Disguised as a Competition
This is my honest and objective review of this site. I recommend avoiding it unless you are happy to lose money or can afford to max out tickets on every draw. I spent £120+ on entries (mostly £20 batches for cashback). I won nothing. I now have £4.37 cashback. That’s it. This isn’t “oh you just had a bad draw, maybe next time.” That’s gambling logic. The numbers show the game is structurally negative. Take the current £50k MEGA Pokémon Comp + Instant Wins #1: Revenue so far: ~£58,629.97 Prizes already paid out: ~£21,394 Profit so far: ~£37,236 Even if it ended today with the main prize awarded, the site is still £31,967 in profit. If all tickets sell out, the total prize pool is ~£40,893 against £102,900 revenue. That’s ~40% return to player (RTP) — meaning a 60% house edge. That’s worse than almost any casino game. So why does it feel punishing? Because unless you buy max tickets (~£200–£300 a draw), your odds are basically negligible. The site says “max tickets doesn’t put you at a disadvantage,” but the winners list suggests otherwise. Standout repeat winners (current draw): Ricky Smith — 29 wins (~£5,016) Adam Jones — 10 wins (~£1,948) Amy Cartwright — 1 win (£1,700) Craig Thetford — 8 wins (~£1,312) Sam Lovatt — 7 wins (~£924) Harry Edwards — 12 wins (~£868) It’s clear that only big buyers consistently show up as winners. Either they’re incredibly lucky, or the system heavily favours max purchase. I’m not “salty” about losing £120. If I’d gone to a casino and bet blindly, I’d expect to walk away with at least ~90% of my funds. Here, the design guarantees that most players walk away with nothing. Bottom line: This is not the “best odds possible.” It is a negative-EV raffle disguised as a competition. The marketing claims are misleading at best, deceptive at worst.
