Operator review · July 2026
Raffle House
Raffle House is one of the longest‑running UK property prize outfits, now with an Android app, weekly subscriber perks and a clearly published free postal entry route. Value can be compelling if the main prize lands, but history shows you should read the small print on thresholds and cash alternatives before you punt.

The full review
Who are Raffle House?
London-based Raffle House has been running property prize competitions since the late 2010s and is now incorporated as Raffle House Ltd (10928240). It operates recurring Dream Home campaigns with a charity element and a published alternative free entry route, and in 2020 a winner was reported to have received a £500,000 London flat with fees covered.
The competitions
The headline act is the Dream Home draw, with tickets promoted from around £10 and subscription tiers at £30, £50 and £75 per month. Beyond the house prize, the operator’s Android app references cars and cash prizes and there’s a weekly £1,000 Early Bird draw for subscribers, which helps keep things moving while the main campaign runs.
Entering and the draw
Entries are made online via account sign‑in (or through the Android app), with mainstream cards supported and PayPal imagery shown on-site. The draw administration is handled by Civica Election Services (formerly ERS) as independent scrutineers, which is a positive for fairness; however, the precise mechanics (for example, the RNG used or any public livestreaming) aren’t detailed on the public pages we accessed.
The free entry route
Raffle House sets out a no‑purchase‑necessary postal entry: one entry per envelope, including your details and the specific competition title, sent to Civica Election Services at the Clarendon Road address. Postal entries are treated the same as paid entries, with a separate cut‑off window after the online close for processing.
Winners and payouts
Press coverage shows a £500,000 London flat was awarded in September 2020. Earlier in its life, Which? reported a cash alternative had been paid when ticket thresholds weren’t met, and highlighted wording around revenue retention and date extensions; Raffle House has since continued running house draws and positions the independent oversight more prominently.
What the reviews say
On Trustpilot, Raffle House sits in ‘Excellent’ territory (around 4.3/5) with thousands of reviews, where recent comments often commend swift replies and helpful customer service. The listing also repeats price points (bundles from £10) and provides direct contact details. As with any long‑running property draw, sentiment varies around prize timelines and expectations, so reading the T&Cs remains wise.
