Elite Competitions vs Bounty Competitions — which wins your tenner?

Elite Competitions takes the win on value, transparency and polish. Bounty puts up a fight on service and daily cash, but it loses 8.5 to 8.2 overall.

Here’s how your quid stretches with each.

Value for your tenner

Ticket ranges set the tone: Elite runs £0.01 – £1.00; Bounty sits at £0.20 – £9.99. That shows in the value scores — Elite 8.4 vs Bounty 7.8. Elite keeps costs low and adds daily and InstaWin action, but watch the “very large entry caps” on flagship draws. Bounty’s cheap lines are there too, yet its own note of “75,000‑ticket £10k draws” spells long odds as well.

Winner: Elite.

Mega prizes, real clout

If you want blockbusters, Elite is the grown‑up table. The site boasts “a £1.4m bundle and £1m cash wins” and is “best for Low cost mega prizes”. Variety is level on paper (9 vs 9), but the headline scale is not. Bounty brings cars, tech and the odd house, but its pitch is breadth, not sheer size.

Winner: Elite.

Daily cash and draw rhythm

Bounty is “best for Low‑cost daily cash” and backs it with “frequent daily cash draws (e.g. £10k daily)” plus ‘Super Saturday’ runs. Draws are announced and held within 72 hours of closing, so there’s a steady drumbeat. Elite does “daily draws at 10pm” and bigger ones around 9pm, but if your buzz is regular cash pops, Bounty’s cadence edges it.

Winner: Bounty.

Fair draws, free‑post and trust

Transparency scores tilt it: Elite 8.2 vs Bounty 7.2. Elite’s live streams use a random ball machine on Facebook and YouTube, with occasional verified RNG, and a “clear free‑post route”. Bounty also draws live on Facebook (Google RNG or ball machine) and offers free postal entry, but its own small print notes “strict account and timing rules” and that draws “can be brought forward after the initial four‑day postal period”. Both sit on a Trust Index of 50.

Winner: Elite.

App, site and ways to pay

Site polish leans Elite (8.6 vs 8.2). Apps too: Elite has iOS & Android; Bounty is iOS, Android unconfirmed. Elite takes Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Bounty accepts debit cards, has an on‑site wallet, and allows limited credit card use (up to £250/month and not for instant wins); no cash. For everyday ease and options, Elite is the smoother run.

Winner: Elite.

Service and the afters

Service is Bounty’s best card: 8.7 vs Elite’s 8.3. Its review calls out strong “community presence and service levels” for regulars. Elite is a slick operator with “fast pay‑outs”, but subscriptions and extras (like Golden Ball) “add complexity and cost”, and there are Trustpilot‑flagged “cancellation niggles”. If you judge on support vibes, Bounty takes the nod.

Winner: Bounty.

Split verdict: pick your side

• Pick Elite Competitions if you want low‑cost shots at giant jackpots (“£1.4m bundle”, “£1m cash”), clear live ball draws with a solid free‑post route, full iOS & Android apps, and the best value score (8.4) to stretch a quid a line.
• Pick Bounty Competitions if you live for low‑cost daily cash and regular action (“£10k daily”, ‘Super Saturday’), rate top‑tier service (8.7), are happy on iOS with debit card/wallet payments, and don’t mind stricter postal rules.
