Elite Competitions

The full review

Who are Elite Competitions?

Elite Competitions bills itself as “The Original Online Competitions Company” and has been operating from Blackpool, Lancashire since 2016. The site has grown into a mainstream operator with million‑pound house bundles and seven‑figure cash jackpots, a large social following and a very active app audience.

The competitions

Value is the calling card: tickets routinely start from pennies — we’ve seen 1p spin‑to‑win wheels, 3p and 10p tickets on prestige car draws, and house bundles around 19p. The catalogue is broad and busy: daily draws at 10pm, cars, cash, watches and tech, InstaWins with prize pots into the hundreds of thousands and rolling jackpot formats. Major draws clearly display their live date and time on the product page, and cash alternatives are set out upfront.

Entering and the draw

Checkout accepts Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and the apps on iOS and Android make mobile play straightforward. Winner selection is via a random ball machine, live‑streamed on Facebook and YouTube, with the terms also allowing a verifiable automated draw where stated. T&Cs emphasise there are no draw‑date extensions and that prizes are guaranteed regardless of sales, which is what punters want to see.

The free entry route

Every paid competition has a no‑purchase postal route: one entry per postcard, no bulk envelopes, and you must specify the competition and include your contact details. The free route also applies to features like Spin to Win and the Club monthly draw (with stated limits); tickets entered by post have the same chance as paid entries once processed.

Winners and payouts

Elite publishes an ongoing winners feed and blog stories, including million‑pound cash winners and house winners who took keys or opted for the high six‑figure cash alternative. FAQs state cash is typically paid within 48 hours and big physical prizes are delivered within five days. The largest confirmed haul we found was a £1.4m package comprising a luxury house, Rolls‑Royce, Lamborghini and cash, alongside a separate £1m cash jackpot from the “Million Pound Vault.”

What the reviews say

On Trustpilot, Elite holds an “Excellent” 4.5/5 from over 17,000 reviews, with positive themes around easy entry and prize variety. A minority mention niggles such as subscription cancellation friction — worth bearing in mind if you join the Club. Overall, the sentiment aligns with our take: a slick, prolific operator offering frequent low‑cost shots at very big wins.
