Raffle House vs McKinney Competitions — which one earns your next ticket?

McKinney Competitions takes this one for most punters. Raffle House is the niche pick if you’re a house‑draw subscriber backing a big dream at £10+ a go.

Your tenner’s value

On value, McKinney is ahead: 7.3 vs Raffle House’s 6. Tickets run from £0.09 to £99.97, so you can nibble or lump on, and there’s a visible 2% cashback promo. The catch? Very large ticket caps on mega draws, which can dilute value per ticket.

Raffle House starts at £10 a pop and subscriptions from £30. Value can be great if the main prize lands, but their own verdict warns you to read the thresholds and cash‑alternative small print. On the numbers, the win goes to McKinney.

Prizes and pace

Variety is a blowout: McKinney scores 8.6 to Raffle House’s 6.5, with a huge range — houses, cars, cash and instant wins — plus regular evening action (many cash autodraws at 9pm and larger draws around 10:30pm). Live‑draw links are easy to find.

Raffle House runs Dream Home draws per campaign, with a weekly £1,000 Early Bird for subscribers. Nice perk, slower tempo. Winner: McKinney for choice and cadence.

Trust, draws and the small print

Transparency scores: McKinney 7.2, Raffle House 6. Both have a free postal route and both sit on a Trust Index of 50. McKinney’s prizes are picked by a verifiable random draw, with live streams and some Auto Draws clearly marked.

Raffle House uses an independent draw administered by Civica Election Services — a solid tick — and publishes a free postal entry. But there’s past ASA/Which? scrutiny and cash‑alternative outcomes noted in their cons. On balance, the edge goes to McKinney on transparency.

Service, site and ways to pay

Service is a squeaker: Raffle House 8.0 vs McKinney 7.9. Raffle House nicks it.

Site polish swings back: McKinney 8.1 vs Raffle House 7.5. If you care how slick it feels, McKinney is the smoother ride.

Features and payments favour Raffle House: Android app, plus Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal. McKinney takes debit/credit cards online, with PayPal mentioned by reviewers, but there’s no app.

The scoreboard

Overall ratings say it plainly: McKinney 7.8 vs Raffle House 6.8. Raffle House’s niche is clear — one of the longest‑running property outfits (founded 2017) with a weekly £1,000 subscriber perk and Civica‑run draws — but with £10–£75 tickets and that small‑print caution. McKinney (founded 2020) is the dependable all‑rounder, heavy on nightly action and breadth, only dinged by big ticket caps and occasional long lead times.

• Pick McKinney Competitions if you want sharper value (7.3), bigger variety (8.6), frequent evening draws, instant wins, and a site that scores 8.1 — ideal for big‑prize variety hunters.
• Pick Raffle House if you’re a house‑draw subscriber chasing that dream with an Android app and broad payment options (including Amex), and you’re comfortable with £10+ entries and reading the thresholds — best for house‑draw subscribers and optimists.
