For shops, clubs, charities and creators with a following
If people already buy from you, follow you or support you, a competition site gives them something to enter. You bring the prizes and the audience; the site does the selling and the draws.
- Your own domain and your own branding. Players see you, not us.
- Card payments, with tickets given out automatically (Apple Pay and Google Pay coming).
- Instant wins hidden in ticket numbers, revealed when someone enters.
- A free postal entry route, logged alongside paid entries.
- Built to the DCMS prize draw code: a £250 monthly credit card cap, player spend limits, self-exclusion and 18+ checks, all switched on from day one.
- Email capture, referrals and ad tracking so you can see what sells.
Tools for skill questions, free entry, age checks and fair draws — you stay responsible for running it legally.
Anyone can check the draw
Every competition gets a public draw page. It shows the winning ticket, how many valid entries there were and where the random number came from, and it lets anyone re-run the check in their own browser.
So when someone asks “was that fixed?”, you send them a link instead of an argument.
What happens after you get in touch
- We talk it through.A short call or a few emails about your audience, your prizes and which plan fits. No payment details.
- Your site goes live on your domain.In your brand, with checkout and the free entry route switched on.
- You add a prize and start selling.When the competition closes, the draw runs and you announce the winner.
What it costs
A monthly fee and 5p for each paid order. We take 0% of your ticket sales. Every feature is on every plan; the difference is how much of the work we do.
Worked example: you sell £10,000 of tickets across 2,000 orders in a month. On Starter you pay £49 + £100 in order fees = £149. On Pro it’s £199, on Done-for-you £499. Card fees from your payment provider are separate.
| Starter | Pro | Done-for-you | |

| Monthly | £49/mo | £99/mo | £399/mo |
| Per paid order | 5p | 5p | 5p |
| Setup | None | £395 | £1,195 |

Is this legal?
Yes, prize competitions are legal in Great Britain when entry needs real skill or there’s a free way to enter. Niche gives you tools to help you run it legally, but you stay responsible for your competitions. Read our plain-English guide
