Omaze UK vs ThatPrizeGuy — where should your tenner go?

For high‑gloss houses and charity clout, pick Omaze UK. For penny‑price cash and constant action, ThatPrizeGuy.

On our board it’s 7.7 (Omaze UK) vs 7.9 (ThatPrizeGuy) overall, with both on a Trust Index of 50. Different beasts, same stakes: your money and your odds.

Your tenner and the odds

Price first. Omaze tickets run £10–£150 per purchase, with subscriptions from £10/month. ThatPrizeGuy starts at £0.01 and tops out at £20. The Value scores say it straight: 5.2 for Omaze vs 6.9 for ThatPrizeGuy. Omaze’s entry pools are uncapped, so odds are unknown and spend can creep — their own cons flag “uncapped entries”. ThatPrizeGuy can slap on very large ticket caps too — their cons admit it — but a quid can still buy you a stack of entries when prices dip to pennies. If you’re stretching a fiver, the maths and the 6.9 Value nudge you to ThatPrizeGuy.

Winner: ThatPrizeGuy.

Prizes and pace

Omaze is all headline homes and big set‑pieces: Grand Prize on the advertised date, Early Birds on the way, £1,000 Weekly Cash Draws posted Fridays 5pm, plus a Monthly Millionaire every month. Variety is sky‑high at 9.2. ThatPrizeGuy runs hot and frequent: per‑competition draws typically within 48 hours of close (many around 11:00pm), 7 live comps on the slate, and instant wins baked in. Their Variety is 9.1, a hair lower on paper but the catalogue is lively. For sheer churn and instant‑win buzz, the 7 live comps and yes‑to‑instants tip it.

Winner: ThatPrizeGuy.

Transparency and trust

Omaze posts an 8.5 for Transparency against ThatPrizeGuy’s 7.5. Omaze uses a verifiably random computer draw with independent scrutineer Civica Election Services, publishes draw results, and spells out the free postal route. ThatPrizeGuy draws live on Facebook using an RNG with public entry lists — good — but their own cons say payment methods aren’t clearly disclosed. With both sitting on a Trust Index of 50, the audited method and clearer comms give Omaze the edge here.

Winner: Omaze UK.

Service you actually feel

Service is 7.6 for Omaze vs 8.1 for ThatPrizeGuy. Omaze’s cons flag some complaints about subscription management and site UX. ThatPrizeGuy’s verdict notes payouts are widely reported as prompt. On user care, those numbers and notes speak for themselves.

Winner: ThatPrizeGuy.

Site polish, apps and paying

Site scores: 8.2 Omaze vs 7.8 ThatPrizeGuy. Apps: Omaze has iOS & Android with in‑app payments; ThatPrizeGuy is iOS only. Payments: Omaze takes debit/credit and PayPal for one‑offs; ThatPrizeGuy takes cards via a gateway and offers an optional SMS route, but also admits payment details aren’t clearly disclosed. Accessibility and polish lean blue‑chip here.

Winner: Omaze UK.
