How competition aggregators work
Aggregator sites, such as MoneySavingExpert Competitions Time, ThePrizeFinder, Loquax and Competitions-Time.co.uk, collect listings from many organisers and present them in one place. They are a useful way to discover competitions you might otherwise miss, but a listing is a lead to check, not a guarantee that a competition is free, current or suitable for you.
What to Check
- Aggregators list competitions from other organisers. The actual draw still runs with the original organiser.
- Most aggregators are free to browse, with filters for prize type, closing date or entry method.
- Once you find something you like, click through to the organiser's own page to read the rules and enter.
- Coverage varies. No aggregator catches every competition, so checking a couple of sources widens your options.
- Odds Up operates its own competitions. It is not an aggregator, and this is our editorial directory guide.
Key Facts
- Aggregators help you discover competitions; the original organiser runs the draw and delivers the prize.
- A free directory account does not mean every linked competition is free.
- A paid prize draw must offer a free entry route.
- Postal entry carries ordinary postage costs.
- Published ticket counts let you compare competitions before you enter.
- Look for UK company registration, secure checkout and a winners page on any organiser.

Free entry routes explained
Whether you find a competition through an aggregator or directly, knowing how free entry works makes evaluating any listing faster.
- A paid prize draw must also offer a free entry route, typically by post, with free and paid entries treated equally. Genuine skill competitions can work differently.
- Separate free online entry from postal entry, which normally costs ordinary postage.
- The free entry instructions should be visible before you commit. If they are hard to find, that is worth noting.
- Some organisers also run entirely free competitions that need no postal entry at all.
- Check whether an account, purchase, social action or postage is required, and read the organiser's privacy and marketing choices.
- Keep closing dates and confirmation messages, avoid duplicate entries where rules prohibit them, and never pay an unexpected fee to release a claimed prize.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which UK aggregator sites list free competitions?
MoneySavingExpert Competitions Time, ThePrizeFinder, Loquax and Competitions-Time.co.uk list competition opportunities from many organisers. Check each organiser's entry method, eligibility and closing date.
What is a competition aggregator site?
A competition aggregator collects and lists prize competitions from multiple organisers in one place, so entrants can discover competitions across the UK without visiting each site individually.
Are competition aggregator sites free to use?
Most aggregators are free to browse, although some need a free account for extra features. The competitions themselves may be paid, in which case you click through to the organiser, where the price and any free entry route are listed.
How do I find competitions with free entry?
Many aggregator sites let you filter for free competitions or entry methods. You can also use organisers that publish their free entry instructions clearly. On Odds Up, every paid competition shows its free postal entry route, and free competitions are listed alongside.
How do free entry routes work on paid competitions?
A paid prize draw must offer a free entry route, usually by post. You send a postcard with your details and any required answer, and a valid free entry is treated equally with paid entries in the draw. Ordinary postage costs apply.
Does free entry mean no cost at all?
Free online entry may have no entry charge. A free postal route normally still involves ordinary postage costs, and other conditions can apply.
Is MoneySavingExpert Competitions Time the same as Competitions-Time.co.uk?
No. The first is a MoneySavingExpert community forum. Competitions-Time.co.uk is a separate listings service.
What should I check on the organiser's site before entering?
Look for a UK company registration on Companies House, published terms and conditions, the total ticket count, the draw method, secure checkout through an established payment provider and visible winners.
Are aggregator sites a good starting point for new entrants?
Yes. Aggregators are a quick way to see what is out there and compare prize types and closing dates. Once you find something you like, the organiser's own page is where you read the full terms and enter.
Is Odds Up an aggregator?
No. Odds Up runs its own prize competitions. This page compares external directories and community listings.
