7days Performance or BOTB? 7days edges it 8.2–8.0

7days Performance takes this by a nose — 8.2 plays BOTB’s 8.0. If you’re chasing pure skill for supercars, BOTB still owns that lane.

Scoreboard: where the points land

Overall: 7days Performance 8.2 vs BOTB 8.0. Trust Index is level at 50–50.

By sub-score, it’s a split field: Value 7.4 (7days) vs 7.2 (BOTB); Variety 9.2 vs 9.0; Transparency 7.8 vs 8.5 (BOTB ahead); Service 8.3 vs 7.5 (7days ahead); Site 8.2 vs 7.8 (7days ahead). Clear edge to 7days on day‑to‑day experience; BOTB takes the audit trail.

Value for your tenner

Ticket ranges say a lot. 7days runs from £0.02 to £8.99. BOTB starts at 20p (Easy Wins), with at least £1.35 on Lifestyle; Dream Car tickets start at 90p. That cheaper floor and wider spread help 7days to a Value 7.4 vs BOTB’s 7.2.

Trade‑offs? 7days warns that “some headline comps have very high entry caps, making odds long.” BOTB’s own con is “no published odds for Spot the Ball; value hard to gauge.” Pick your poison: long caps you can see, or skill with unknown odds.

Prizes, pace and instant wins

Variety is stellar on both, with 7days at 9.2 and BOTB at 9.0. 7days mixes big‑ticket Dream Home with “large instant‑win scratch pots,” plus multiple evening draws weekly at 9–10pm and daily automated GLI‑certified RNG. BOTB fires a full calendar too: Dream Car runs Sun–Sun with judging Monday and reveal Tuesday; Lifestyle runs Wed–Wed with the draw within 48 hours (typically Friday); Dream Home is monthly; Instant Wins roll continuously.

Both offer free postal entry and instant wins. If you like constant action and tiny ticket prices, 7days is built for that.

Fairness you can see

Transparency score tilts BOTB’s way: 8.5 vs 7.8. Here’s why. 7days draws are live on Facebook/YouTube using RNG or a ball machine, with some automated via GLI‑certified RNG — clear and competent. BOTB goes heavy on third‑party oversight: Dream Car is Spot the Ball judged by an independent panel with a lawyer present, while Lifestyle/Pass/House are random draws independently verified by PromoVeritas; Instant Wins use RNG ticket‑number matching at checkout. BOTB also lists “Independent verification and published judging” as a pro. On sheer audit trail, BOTB wins this round.

Service, site and how you pay

7days leads on Service 8.3 vs 7.5, and on Site 8.2 vs 7.8. Their pros note “consistently fast payouts reported by winners.”

Payments is where BOTB bites back: Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Pay by Mobile are all listed. 7days takes credit/debit cards at checkout (no brands listed). App‑wise, both are on iOS & Android; BOTB’s cons flag its Android app is distributed via the site and that some users report app/UX issues.

Who should pick which?

– Pick 7days Performance if you want low‑cost high‑frequency draws, the best Variety (9.2), stronger Service (8.3) and Site (8.2), and you fancy instant‑win action from £0.02 a go.
– Pick BOTB if you’re a skill fan chasing supercars, you value top‑tier Transparency (8.5) with independent judging/verification, and you want flexible payments including PayPal and Pay by Mobile.
