Publisher disclosure: Hoardsy writes this comparison and is not ranked, but it sits beside this site on the same checks. This is a review of published evidence, not a personal account of winning or an independent certification. Every factual observation links to its source and read date. Unknown means not established in this check; it does not mean a condition is missing or that an operator has failed it.
The central question in a Raffle House review is which prize applies under which conditions. A winner’s optional cash choice and a sales-dependent replacement prize have different consequences, even when both are described using the word cash.
18+ · Great Britain readers. Check each operator’s geographical eligibility. Wherever paid entry is considered, also read the applicable free postal entry route below. Hoardsy’s route is at free postal entry.
Review focus: Separate the sales threshold from an optional cash choice. Compare the ranked best competition sites and the scoring rules behind them.
Is Raffle House legit? Start with the promoter
Company identity. Raffle House Ltd, company 10928240; incorporated 22 August 2017. Incorporation is not a verified competition launch date. Raffle House: company identity · checked 17 October 2026.
Operating history. Trustpilot profile claimed January 2019. This is a dated public review record; years trading and total prizes paid have not been independently verified. Raffle House: operating history · checked 17 October 2026.
A registration identifies an entity. It does not prove the outcome of an individual competition or establish that a prize has been delivered. Keep identity, contract terms, customer feedback and result evidence as separate checks. Where a registry was not independently verified, the observation says so.
Trace the minimum-entry condition through to the prize
Read a minimum-entry condition as a complete sequence: what counts towards the threshold, when the total is measured, and what the winner receives if the threshold is not reached. The headline house value alone cannot answer those questions. If the replacement is calculated from entry fees after deductions, its value depends on the formula as well as the total number of entries.
Write down the definitions of every deduction in that formula. A percentage of gross fees differs from the same percentage after operating costs or a charitable contribution. Do not use a percentage without its denominator to compare two sites. If the checked documents leave an input unknown, a precise replacement amount cannot responsibly be calculated. That uncertainty belongs beside the prize description, rather than in a hidden footnote.

Distinguish an entry’s chance from its effect on the threshold
Two separate questions apply to a postal entry: whether it participates in winner selection, and whether it counts towards a commercial minimum. The answers need not be the same. A statement about the threshold should not be treated as a statement that postal entries have different chances; equally, equal selection chances do not establish that postal entries contribute to a sales total.
Keep the postal instructions with the rules for the specific draw. Check the details required, the address, the closing time and whether arrival rather than posting determines validity. When comparing the free postal route with paid entry, include postage and the practical time available. The route is an entry method, not a promise that correspondence arriving after the deadline will be accepted.

Compare house draws on the result you could actually receive
For a meaningful house-draw comparison, use the advertised property and the applicable fallback together. An unconditional property award and a conditional replacement formula are not interchangeable promises. A reader who wants a house may weight those conditions differently from a reader interested only in a stated money amount. The ranked comparison links below let you inspect the evidence behind each score.
After identifying the prize conditions, examine the draw procedure: which entries are eligible, when the list is final and how a winner is selected. A clear selection method does not remove a prize-substitution condition, and a clear prize promise does not explain selection. Both need their own evidence. Save the rules and result for the event you enter, rather than relying on a later general review.

Closing date, minimum sales and cash alternative
Closing-date condition. An explicit commitment against sales-driven extensions has not been verified. Raffle House: closing-date condition · checked 17 October 2026.
Minimum-sales condition. The linked terms page is labelled 5 April 2021 and describes a historical entry threshold. The current draw’s shortfall formula and sales-independent prize protection were not verified. Raffle House: minimum-sales condition · checked 17 October 2026.
Cash alternative. An operator reply on its review profile states that cash alternatives are offered. A current universal amount or percentage was not verified. Raffle House: cash alternative · checked 17 October 2026.
Entry price and free postal entry
Price observation. A comparable current paid-ticket price range was not verified. Subscription prices are not treated as individual-ticket prices. Raffle House: price observation · checked 17 October 2026.
Free postal route. The linked terms describe one postal entry per stamped outer envelope with matching account details. The page is labelled 5 April 2021; reconfirm the current draw instructions. Postal Entry is available for all Competitions
Raffle House: free postal route · checked 17 October 2026.
Any observed price is a dated example or range, not a promise that every current competition has that price. For paid entry, compare the total price with the free postal route’s instructions and arrival deadline. Read the event’s eligibility and entry limit before choosing either route.
How winners are selected and prizes delivered
Draw method. The operator’s own Trustpilot profile says Civica conducts its draws. This is an attributed operator statement, not our independent audit. Raffle House: draw method · checked 17 October 2026.
Published chances. A numerical per-ticket chance or usable random-draw ticket cap was not verified in this check. Raffle House: published chances · checked 17 October 2026.
Instant-result format. An instant-reveal product has not been verified in this check. An automated end draw is a different format. Raffle House: instant-result format · checked 17 October 2026.
Prize fulfilment. A universal payment or delivery deadline was not verified. A winner response deadline is not a payout promise. Raffle House: prize fulfilment · checked 17 October 2026.
Trustpilot and ASA: dated observations
Trustpilot observation. 4.2/5 from 6,126 Trustpilot reviews in this dated snapshot. Review scores describe customer feedback, not audited chances or prize payments. Raffle House: trustpilot observation · checked 17 October 2026.
ASA record. On 26 June 2019 the ASA upheld complaints about changed entry conditions and closing-date advertising/extension. The finding concerns that historical promotion. Raffle House: asa record · checked 17 October 2026.
A public review score reflects the reviews behind it at the observation time. It does not measure the chance of winning or independently verify a draw. An ASA decision concerns specified advertising and dates. An unverified ASA search is not evidence that no ruling exists, and a historic decision does not establish today’s terms.
Raffle House vs Hoardsy
The same evidence fields for both. We run Hoardsy, so read its column as our published rules, not an independent record of paid winners.
