UK Competition Aggregator Sites
How aggregator sites help you discover UK prize competitions, what they cover, and the free entry routes you should expect from any paid competition.
What Aggregators Do
Aggregator sites pull competition listings from across the internet so you can browse many platforms in one place.
Free Entry by Law
Every paid UK prize competition must offer a free entry route, usually a postal one with the same chance of winning.
What to Check
Before entering, check the source platform for published odds, clear terms, secure checkout, and visible winners.
How competition aggregators work
Aggregator sites collect listings from many platforms and present them in one place. They are a useful way to discover competitions you might otherwise miss.
- Aggregators list competitions from third-party platforms. The actual draw still runs on the source site.
- Most aggregators are free to browse, with filters for prize type, deadline, or whether free entry is available.
- Once you find something you like, you click through to the original platform to read the rules and enter.
- Coverage varies. No aggregator catches every competition, so checking a couple of sources widens your options.
