Comparison

Competition sites with the best odds information

Updated 17 October 2026 · 16 min read · By Hoardsy

Published by Hoardsy. Hoardsy is not ranked on this page. This is our comparison, with a declared method and dated links so you can challenge it. The comparison is a snapshot, not a live price feed. Last checked 17 October 2026.

No single operator has the strongest winning chance for every prize, entry price and date. This ranking answers the useful first question: which sites publish enough information to compare chances properly? The score measures the quality of checked odds evidence, not a promise that you will win.

How this ranking is scored

Published odds information receives 40 points and documented selection receives 25. Closing terms, treatment of low sales and the free route account for the rest because they determine which advertised draw the calculation actually describes. These weights deliberately differ from the broad overall ranking.

  • Usable odds disclosure, 40 points. Full points for a numerical chance for a defined sampled outcome; half for a ticket cap and random selection; zero where neither is verified. Any-prize chances include small prizes and credit. This measures disclosure, not which site offers the greatest winning chance.
  • Checkable selection method, 25 points. Full points for a locked entry record, subsequent independently public randomness and a reproducible check; half for a named random method or independent judging; zero if unverified. Half points do not imply unfair selection.
  • Closing-date certainty, 15 points. Full points for an explicit promise against extensions to sell more entries; half for a specified period with limited change provisions or countdown; zero where a commitment is unverified.
  • Prize treatment at low sales, 10 points. Full points only for an express commitment to award the prize or complete the draw regardless of sales. Zero for a shortfall clause or an unverified promise; the evidence distinguishes those cases.
  • Free entry information, 10 points. Full points for a published postal route and explicit equal-chance treatment; half for a verified route without equal-chance wording established; zero for an unverified route. Postal processing and visual prominence have not been audited.

Each contribution is shown beside its source in the table. Missing evidence earns zero for that test; it does not establish that a service is poor, unlawful or unavailable. Partial points follow the rule above. Scores are rounded to one decimal place, then added; equal totals are ordered alphabetically without implying a quality difference. A review profile’s age is not proof of trading duration or completed prize payments. These are editorial evidence scores, not consumer ratings, probabilities or a regulator’s approval.

Sites ranked on usable odds and draw evidence

All operators in the main comparison are eligible because this test concerns whether their checked evidence supports a probability comparison. Missing odds stay unknown. A zero means the required evidence was not established under the scoring rule, not that the chance of winning is zero.

Where Hoardsy stands on the same checks

We run Hoardsy, so it isn’t ranked or scored above. Here’s how it does on every check, with the source for each.

  • Usable odds disclosure: Competition pages publish ticket caps and the chance per ticket for each listed prize. A chance of any prize includes prizes below the entry cost and site credit. source (17 October 2026)
  • Checkable selection method: The entry record locks before a later public drand value selects the end-draw winner. Published evidence lets a reader repeat the check. source (17 October 2026)
  • Closing-date certainty: Published rules exclude extensions for slow sales; the stated closing date stands. source (17 October 2026)
  • Prize treatment at low sales: The published prize stands regardless of sales; there is no minimum-sales threshold. source (17 October 2026)
  • Free entry information: Free postal entry on every competition, with the same chance as a paid ticket. Postage costs money. source (17 October 2026)

There is no meaningful site-wide winning chance

A chance belongs to a specific event under specific rules. Winning one advertised car, receiving any instant award and receiving cash above the ticket price are three different events. A large operator may offer many competitions with different entry limits and prize structures at the same time. Averaging those into a brand-level percentage would require a defined sample and a clear method.

This page therefore ranks disclosure and result evidence. It does not convert an operator’s reputation, age or review score into a probability. Use the ranking to find terms worth examining, then calculate the chance for the exact prize you want. Where the necessary figures are missing, the honest answer is that the comparison cannot be completed from the public information reviewed.

Calculate a single-prize draw

When every valid entry has an equal chance and one winning entry is selected, divide the number of valid entries you hold by the total valid entries in the final draw. If you hold two entries out of 2,000, the chance is 2 in 2,000, or 1 in 1,000. That is a worked example only; it is not a live competition or a promise of any operator’s current chance.

A ticket cap can supply a worst-case denominator before sales finish, provided it includes all valid entry routes. The live sold count is not necessarily the final count, and a list of available ticket numbers is not necessarily the number of eligible entries. Read whether the operator draws from sold entries, issued numbers or another defined pool. Those are different calculation inputs.

Compare equal spending and equivalent prizes

Imagine two hypothetical draws for the same cash amount. One costs 50p per entry with a maximum of 2,000 valid entries. Another costs 10p with a maximum of 20,000. A £1 purchase would obtain two entries in the first and ten in the second. At their limits, the respective chances are 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 2,000. A lower unit price has not produced the larger chance.

The example assumes equal entries, one prize, fully used caps and no separate fees or entry restrictions. Change any assumption and recalculate. If the prizes differ, compare them separately rather than presenting one chance as a complete value judgement. Someone seeking a particular car may evaluate a cash award differently from someone who only wants a cash prize.

Read instant probabilities differently

For an instant product, identify whether the source publishes a fixed per-entry probability or a count of winning tickets in a finite pool. With a fixed table, the displayed probability should explain its denominator and any conditions. With a remaining-ticket calculation, both the remaining winning tickets and total remaining tickets must be current, and the allocation rules must support using that ratio.

Do not assume that a prize not yet displayed as won must still be available, or that a run of earlier non-winning entries makes the next entry more likely to win. That depends on the actual mechanism. The Plinko odds explanation describes Hoardsy’s published schedule; it should not be applied to another operator simply because that operator uses a similar game name.

Check which outcome the percentage describes

The probability of any award can include small cash amounts, credit and items. The probability of receiving more cash than you paid excludes some of those outcomes. The probability of the largest prize is usually another figure again. Require the label beside a percentage to state the event clearly before using it in a comparison.

Expected prize value is also different from winning probability. It combines every outcome’s value and probability across repeated entries under the stated model; it does not say what you will receive from an individual entry. A calculation that treats restricted credit as cash or ignores a missing prize tier will answer a different question from the one you intended.

Terms can change the event you are comparing

If an advertised prize can be replaced after low sales, calculating the chance of that advertised prize from the initial cap may miss a material condition. If the closing date can change, the final pool may differ from the one you expected. Read the actual clauses linked in the table rather than treating a countdown or progress bar as the complete contract.

Keep your comparison dated. Save the relevant prize page, ticket limit and rules so that you can distinguish a later update from the information used in your calculation. The strongest odds comparison is a reproducible calculation with stated assumptions. A claim that one brand simply has “the best odds” cannot supply that on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Which competition site has the best odds?

There is no verified site-wide answer covering every current prize and price. This table ranks usable odds disclosures and draw evidence. Compare individual competitions at the same spend and check their current entry totals and prize rules.

Does a lower ticket cap always mean a larger chance?

For one equally likely entry in a single-prize draw, a smaller final valid-entry pool means a larger chance. A published cap is only a limit, and price, multiple prizes and the selection rules can change a comparison.

Does buying more tickets guarantee a win?

No. More valid entries increase your share of an equally weighted draw, but unless you hold every valid entry the outcome remains uncertain. Spending more also increases the amount you can lose.

Can I calculate odds from the percentage sold?

Only if the underlying count, final pool and selection rules are clear. A percentage sold can change, may be rounded and may not include every valid entry route. It is not automatically the denominator of the final draw.

Does a public draw prove the advertised odds?

A checkable result can support confidence in the selection process. It does not by itself verify the prize table, entry eligibility or every advertised probability. Inspect both the rules and the record.
