A fairer way to win cash
Grand Draws runs UK skill-based prize competitions with one aim: a straight, honest shot at tax-free cash, without ever crossing the line into gambling.
What we do
Cash prize competitions, entered on skill. You answer a short question, pick your tickets, and a provably-fair draw runs automatically at 9pm on the closing date. Every draw goes ahead on its closing date, sold out or not, with the full prize: we never cancel, postpone or shrink a draw because of low sales. A free postal route is always open, on the same odds as a paid ticket.
Why we’re different
You should not have to take our word for anything. So the odds are published on every competition, and every result can be recomputed from the published draw data. The cash goes straight to the winner’s bank. No pressure tactics, no buried terms.
A prize competition, not a lottery
Entry turns on a genuine skill question, and a free postal route is always available. Under the Gambling Act 2005, a competition with a genuine skill question, or a free entry route of equal standing, is a prize competition rather than a lottery, so no gambling licence is needed. We still ask everyone to enter responsibly and within their means. 18+.
