Raffle House vs Bounty Competitions — where should your tenner go?

Bounty Competitions wins for most punters on price, pace and scores — 8.2 overall vs 6.8. Raffle House only makes sense if you’re a house‑draw subscriber chasing the weekly £1,000 Early Bird and you like Civica‑run draws.

Price of a punt

For stretching your tenner, Bounty is miles ahead. Tickets run from £0.20 to £9.99, and it posts a Value sub‑score of 7.8. Raffle House starts at £10 and goes up to £75, with Value at 6.0. That’s not a nibble; that’s a gap.

Winner: Bounty Competitions.

Prizes and pace

Bounty is built for regulars: frequent daily cash (e.g. £10k daily) and weekend Super Saturday events, plus cars, tech and the odd house. Its Variety is 9.0. Raffle House runs Dream Home draws per campaign and adds a weekly £1,000 Early Bird for subscribers; Variety 6.5. If you want action every day, Bounty’s your feed. If you’re the patient house‑draw optimist, Raffle House ticks that one box.

Winner: Bounty Competitions.

How they draw and how clear they are

Raffle House uses an independent draw administered by Civica Election Services. Bounty draws live on Facebook using Google’s RNG or a random ball machine, with plainly presented entry lists. On our numbers, Transparency leans Bounty (7.2) over Raffle House (6.0). Raffle House has past ASA/Which? scrutiny and cash‑alternative outcomes noted; Bounty flags that odds can be long on big pots (e.g. 75,000‑ticket £10k draws).

Winner: Bounty Competitions on transparency; nod to Raffle House for independent scrutineer.

Paying, apps and service

Raffle House takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal, and has an Android app. Bounty supports debit cards, limited credit use (up to £250/month and not for instant wins), an on‑site wallet, and has an iOS app (Android unconfirmed). On performance, Bounty leads on Service (8.7 vs 8.0) and Site (8.2 vs 7.5).

Winner: Bounty Competitions.

Free entry and the small print

Both offer free postal entry. Raffle House lists a clearly published route. Bounty’s postal route has strict account and timing rules, and draws can be brought forward after the initial four‑day postal period. Raffle House’s cons include entry from £10 and subscriptions from £30, plus those cash‑alternative outcomes, so read the terms either way.

Winner: Raffle House for free‑entry clarity; mind the thresholds.

Scores on the doors

Overall: Bounty 8.2 vs Raffle House 6.8. Sub‑scores: Value 7.8 vs 6.0, Variety 9.0 vs 6.5, Transparency 7.2 vs 6.0, Service 8.7 vs 8.0, Site 8.2 vs 7.5. Trust Index is level at 50 apiece. On the numbers, Bounty is the stronger all‑round operator.

Split verdict

Pick Bounty Competitions if you want low‑cost daily cash and frequent action — best for low‑cost daily cash, with Value 7.8, Variety 9.0, Service 8.7 and Site 8.2.

Pick Raffle House if you’re a house‑draw subscriber and optimist — Dream Home per campaign, weekly £1,000 Early Bird for subscribers, independent Civica draws, and you’re fine paying £10+ a shot.
