Raffle House alternatives
Their terms state it outright: the total number of entries is not capped, so the likelihood of winning depends on how many entries come in. That is an honest sentence and we would rather credit it than pick at it. It also means the one sum that matters cannot be done until the draw has closed, which is the difference between their product and ours.
What they publish, in their own words
Entries are uncapped, and they say so in the terms rather than leaving you to work it out. They also commit to something many operators will not: that they will not cancel a competition, change a prize or move a closing or draw date because of the number of entries received. Their draws are described as independently conducted by Civica Election Services, they are a signatory to the DCMS Voluntary Code for prize draw operators and a member of the Prize Competition Council.
A free postal entry is available on every competition, treated the same as a paid entry, with all paid and free entries treated equally. Paid spending is capped at £500 a month per person, of which no more than £250 may go on a credit card, while postal entries are unlimited.
And where a prize carries a cash alternative, the winner chooses between the two. Their Cornwall dream home draw lists a prize value over £1,000,000 against a £600,000 cash alternative.
From Raffle House’s own
terms and their public winners gallery, checked 2 November 2026. Their terms live at
/legal/0, not the path you would guess. Terms change; read the draw’s own
rules before entering.
The tell is on their own winners page
Their gallery lists past winners with a tag on the ones who took the money. Not our description of their entrants: their presentation of their own winners. It is the clearest evidence anywhere in this market that a great many people entering to win a house are, when it comes to it, playing for the cash.
Which is a reasonable thing to want. A house you did not choose, in a county you do not live in, comes with a decision attached. Money does not.
Where the arithmetic differs
On an uncapped draw your chance moves every time somebody else enters, and the final figure exists only once it is over. On a capped one the total is fixed before entry opens, so your chance is settled the moment you buy and you can work it out beforehand. Neither approach is wrong. Only one can be checked in advance.
We run cash draws on published caps, with a free postal route on the same odds, every winner published and a result anyone can recompute. If you want the house, enter the house draw, we do not run one and will not pretend to. If you want what most of their winners appear to want, start here for nothing.
Common questions
Does Raffle House cap the number of tickets?
No, and their terms say so directly: the total number of entries for a competition is not capped, so the likelihood of winning depends on the total number of entries received. That is a straight answer and more than many open-ended draws give you. It does mean your chance cannot be calculated until the draw closes. Checked 2 November 2026.
Can you take cash instead of the house?
Where a prize has a cash alternative, their terms give the winner the choice between the prize and the cash, paid within 30 business days. Their Cornwall dream home draw lists a prize value over £1,000,000 with a £600,000 cash alternative. Their own winners gallery tags past winners who chose the money. Checked 2 November 2026.
Does Raffle House have a free entry route?
Yes, on every competition. Their terms say no purchase or payment is required and that a free postal entry is available for every competition, that each valid postal entry is treated the same as a paid entry, and that all paid and free entries are treated equally. A free account is needed and the details must match it. Checked 2 November 2026.
What does a cash competition do differently?
Two things. The prize is money from the start, so there is nothing to choose between and no valuation to accept. And the ticket count is fixed and published before entry opens, so your chance is a number you can work out rather than one that depends on how many people turn up after you.
What do tickets cost on each?
Raffle House list single-purchase prices in their terms running from £5 up to £100 depending on the period, with subscriptions from £15 a month. Here, tickets are 9p each in minimum orders of 25, so £2.25 is the smallest order. The prizes are a different order of magnitude, so compare the price of a chance rather than the price of a ticket.
