> Comparing RevComps? They publish their ticket caps and a free postal route. The real difference is the prize. What a cash draw does instead, and how to compare value properly. Source: https://granddraws.co.uk/revcomps-alternatives-uk --- # RevComps alternatives **On the two things we usually argue about, RevComps do what we do: they publish a ticket cap on every competition and they run a free postal route on the same chance as a paid ticket.** So this is not a page about them doing it wrong. The difference that matters is the prize, and what happens if what you actually want is the money. ## Where we are the same - Each competition has a maximum number of tickets, published on the competition itself (their clause 7.1). - A free postal route is offered, carrying the same chance per entry as a paid ticket (their clause 7.5). - Which means on both sites you can work out your odds before you spend anything. Taken from [RevComps own terms](https://www.revcomps.com/pages/terms-conditions), checked 2 November 2026. Terms change, so read the competition s own rules before entering. ## Where we differ ### What the prize is **RevComps:** Mostly cars, with other high-value items. **Grand Draws:** Cash, and only cash. It arrives by bank transfer with nothing deducted. ### If you would rather have the money **RevComps:** Depends on the competition. Their general terms carry no blanket right to a cash alternative, so where one exists it is stated on that competition’s own listing. Worth reading before you enter rather than after you win. **Grand Draws:** The question does not arise. There is nothing to convert and no figure to accept. ### Ticket price **RevComps:** Varies by competition, and higher-value prizes carry higher ticket prices. **Grand Draws:** 9p a ticket, in minimum orders of 25, so £2.25 is the smallest order. ## The comparison people get wrong Ticket price is the number everybody looks at and it is the one that tells you least. What a competition is really charging is the prize value divided by the ticket cap, and what you are really buying is your tickets divided by that same cap. A 9p ticket in a 200,000-ticket draw and a £4 ticket in a 5,000-ticket draw are not in the same conversation, and the cheap one is not automatically the better buy. Because both sites publish caps, that sum is actually available to you here, which is more than can be said across much of this market. [The calculator](https://granddraws.co.uk/odds-calculator) takes any competition s numbers, and [the arithmetic is set out here](https://granddraws.co.uk/chances-of-winning) if you would rather do it yourself. ## When a car is the wrong prize Not always. If you want to drive it, the car is the whole point and no amount of money is a substitute for the thing you pictured. But a car you did not specify, in a colour you did not pick, with tax and insurance attached and a decision to make in the week you win, is a different proposition from the same value landing in your account. That is the only reason this page exists. We run [cash draws](https://granddraws.co.uk/competitions), the money is the prize from the start, and [every winner is published](https://granddraws.co.uk/winners) with the draw available for anyone to recompute. If you would rather not spend anything, [the free draw](https://granddraws.co.uk/free-draw) has no ticket to buy and [the postal route](https://granddraws.co.uk/free-entry) is open on everything else. ## Common questions ### Does RevComps publish the number of tickets? Yes. Their terms give each competition a maximum number of available tickets and a limit per person, shown on the competition itself (clause 7.1). That is the right way round, and it means you can work out your chance before you pay. Checked 2 November 2026. ### Does RevComps have a free entry route? Yes. Their clause 7.5 states that you may enter any competition free of charge by post, with the same chance per entry of winning as a paid ticket. A registered account is needed first and there are rules about what the postcard must contain. Checked 2 November 2026. ### Can I take cash instead of the car on RevComps? Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the competition. Their general terms do not give a blanket right to a cash alternative, so where a cash option exists it is stated on that competition’s own listing. If taking the money matters to you, read the listing before entering rather than assuming. ### What is a good alternative to RevComps? If you want the car, enter for the car. We do not run car competitions and will not pretend to. If what you want is money, a cash draw gives you that directly, with no conversion and no listing to check. Both sites publish their caps, so you can compare the price of a given chance properly rather than guessing. ### How do I compare two competitions fairly? Not by ticket price. Divide the prize value by the number of tickets to see what the draw is charging for the whole pot, then divide your tickets by the cap to see your own chance. A cheap ticket in a vast draw is often worse value than a dearer one in a small draw. Our odds calculator takes any competition’s numbers, not only ours.
