Hi @Comping_Rich Don't understand why or how it's "free" to enter. You have to pay £2.99 a ticket from what I can make out!

I'm not that comfortable with this site - in the Winners section, the same people are each winning several competitions, and I only bothered going through the first couple of pages...?2

@Joolski This is similar on similar sites and those that I know are genuine, like Gigahertz Giveaways, CompCity, TradeToolGiveaways. It is because the same people tend to enter every week, they often put a lot of money into one competition site, they have their own online communities and popular followers.Joolski said:I'm not that comfortable with this site - in the Winners section, the same people are each winning several competitions, and I only bothered going through the first couple of pages...?
This seems like a popular business to go into at the moment, the newer the site, the less reach, meaning the same entrants and winners.
I always like to check if their website includes the relevant information, sticks to the gambling rules and has their company number on it at least. Then check it on the Gov website to check for a genuine business.
There was one recently, that didn't have a company number, didn't come up on the Gov website. I asked on their social media and they just said all the information I needed was on their website. When I had checked it over first, so I chose to avoid that one.Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.3 -

Thanks @Ms_Dee and @Comping_Rich for your assurances. I just thought it had looked a bit questionable!3

Absolutely worth concern!! Never feel afraid to ask or show your concerns, especially if you have reason for concern.
If in doubt about a company, you can always check:
Gov business log: https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-a-company
These scan websites are worth checking website information too: https://urlscan.io/ & https://www.urlvoid.com/
Always worth a check on Trust Pilot and search engines.

Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.3
