BOTB vs ThatPrizeGuy — who gets your tenner?

BOTB wins this by a nose — 8.0 overall to ThatPrizeGuy’s 7.9 — thanks to stronger transparency (8.5 vs 7.5) and slightly better value (7.2 vs 6.9). If you want penny‑price chaos and live Facebook reveals, ThatPrizeGuy is your fun pick; if you want audited judging and polished payouts, stick with BOTB.

Your tenner’s mileage

On paper, ThatPrizeGuy can take your stake further per ticket — they run from £0.01 to £20.00. BOTB ranges from 20p (Easy Wins) to at least £1.35 (Lifestyle), with Dream Car tickets starting at 90p. But value isn’t just ticket price. Our scores put BOTB ahead on value at 7.2 versus ThatPrizeGuy’s 6.9, largely because ThatPrizeGuy’s very large ticket caps hammer your odds, while BOTB’s flagship is skill‑based Spot the Ball. Both offer a free postal route and instant wins, so the edge on pound‑for‑pound goes to BOTB.

Draws you can trust

Transparency is BOTB’s home turf. Dream Car is judged by an independent panel with a lawyer present, and Lifestyle/Pass/House are random draws independently verified by PromoVeritas; Instant Wins are RNG ticket‑number matching at checkout. ThatPrizeGuy uses a random number generator live on Facebook with public entry lists. Solid, but the numbers say BOTB is clearer: 8.5 for transparency vs ThatPrizeGuy’s 7.5. Winner: BOTB.

Prizes, pace and instant hits

Both run instant wins, but the tempo is different. BOTB has a weekly Dream Car (Sun–Sun; judged Monday; winner Tuesday), a weekly Lifestyle (Wed–Wed; draw within 48 hours, typically Friday), and a monthly Dream Home with the winner announced at the start of the following month. ThatPrizeGuy schedules per‑competition, usually within 48 hours of close, with many around 11:00pm — and they’ve got 7 live comps right now versus BOTB’s 0. Our variety scores reflect that energy: ThatPrizeGuy 9.1 edges BOTB’s 9. Variety and current slate: ThatPrizeGuy.

Paying and apps

BOTB is stacked for payments: Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Pay by Mobile. ThatPrizeGuy takes card via an online gateway and offers an optional SMS entry route, but their own page flags that payment methods aren’t clearly disclosed. App‑wise, BOTB has iOS & Android; ThatPrizeGuy has iOS only. For frictionless checkout and device coverage, BOTB wins.

Service and site feel

BOTB does note some app/UX niggles on Android; ThatPrizeGuy doesn’t list similar issues. Service: ThatPrizeGuy. Site: draw.
