Car prize draws are the flagship category of the UK competition sector. From supercars to performance vehicles to cash alternatives, here are the operators worth knowing about — ranked by Prize Wise data, not marketing spend.
The Rankings
| Rank | Operator | PW Score | UKGC Code | Trustpilot | Prize Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BOTB | 9.1 | Signatory | 5★ | Luxury cars, supercars, cash |
| 2 | Blaze Competitions | 8.3 | Signatory | 4.4★ | Cars, bikes, cash, lifestyle |
| 3 | 7 Days Performance | 6.6 | Tracked | 4.1★ | Performance cars, modified vehicles |
| 4 | Auto Comps | 6.7 | Tracked | 4.5★ | Cash draws, mixed prizes inc. vehicles |
1. BOTB — The Market Leader
BOTB (Best of the Best) is the dominant force in UK car competitions. With a Prize Wise score of 9.1/10, it leads the entire sector — not just the car category.
The operation is serious. BOTB is publicly traded, runs live prize reveals on Channel 4, and maintains a 5-star Trustpilot rating with high review volume. Winners are announced by name, on camera, in real time. There is no more transparent draw format in the sector.
Prize range is broad: Porsche 911s, BMW M cars, Mercedes-AMGs, Range Rovers, and cash alternatives. Multiple draws run concurrently at different price points, from lower-stakes lifestyle draws to headline supercars. All draws offer a free postal entry route.
The only meaningful knock on BOTB is entry cost — premium draws carry higher ticket prices than most competitors. But you are paying for a premium product from the sector's most established operator.
Bottom line: If you enter one car competition in the UK, make it this one.
2. Blaze Competitions — The All-Rounder
Blaze Competitions scores 8.3/10, making it the second-highest-rated operator on the Prize Wise index and a Code signatory. It does not focus exclusively on cars — the prize range includes bikes, cash, and lifestyle products — but vehicles are a core part of the offering.
Blaze's Trustpilot rating of 4.4 stars with strong volume suggests consistent customer satisfaction. The platform is independently operated (not white-label) and runs frequent draws with clear terms.
For car competition entrants, Blaze represents a strong alternative to BOTB with a broader prize mix and typically lower entry prices. The trade-off is less headline glamour — you are unlikely to see a £200,000 supercar in a Blaze draw, but the overall prize-to-entry ratio is competitive.
3. 7 Days Performance — The Specialist
7 Days Performance scores 6.6/10 and targets the performance and modified vehicle niche specifically. This is not luxury cars in the BOTB sense — think tuned, wrapped, and modified vehicles with a distinct aesthetic.
The operator has a Trustpilot rating of 4.1 stars but has not signed the UKGC Voluntary Code. That does not make it illegitimate, but it means less formal accountability than Code signatories. Prize Wise scores them lower on the compliance pillar as a result.
The niche focus is a strength. Enthusiasts seeking modified cars rather than factory-standard luxury vehicles will find 7 Days Performance more relevant than BOTB or Blaze. The audience is smaller but more engaged.
4. Auto Comps — Cash and Vehicles
Auto Comps scores 6.7/10 with a 4.5-star Trustpilot rating. Despite the name, the prize range extends beyond vehicles to include cash draws and mixed prizes. It is not a pure car competition operator.
Auto Comps is not a Code signatory. The platform maturity is reasonable — independently operated with regular draw schedules — but it lacks the broadcast presence and brand recognition of the top-tier operators.
What About the Rest?
Several other operators offer vehicle prizes without being car-focused specialists:
- Bonkers Competitions (6.9/10) occasionally features vehicles alongside watches and luxury items
- Dream Car Giveaways — a smaller operator in the Prize Wise index targeting the car niche directly
- Bridge Classic Cars — a niche operator for classic and vintage vehicle enthusiasts

Free Entry for Car Competitions
All prize draw operators listed on Prize Wise must offer a free postal entry route. For high-value car draws, this is particularly attractive: the cost of a stamp (85p) against the chance to win a vehicle worth £30,000-£200,000 is economically compelling.
See our Free Entry Guide for step-by-step postal entry instructions.
Tax on Car Prizes
Vehicle prizes won in UK prize draws are not taxable. HMRC does not tax competition prizes at the point of receipt. You will, however, be responsible for insurance, road tax, and running costs from the moment the vehicle is delivered. Some operators offer a cash alternative — check the specific draw terms.
