Competition websites

Run your own online prize competitions

Prize competitions are a popular way for brands, clubs and enthusiasts to grow a following and earn from it. We build complete competition websites that take entries and payments, allocate tickets, run the draw and publish the winners, all on your own brand and domain.

For example, we built Kova Competitions, a skill-based competition site for off-road and 4×4 fans.

What your competition site can include

• Competition pages with photos, prize details, ticket price, number of tickets, a live count of tickets left and a closing countdown.
• A skill question that entrants must answer correctly before they can enter.
• Secure payments by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with automatic refunds if a competition sells out while someone is paying.
• Random ticket numbers, shown on screen and emailed to each entrant straight away.
• A free postal entry route, with postal entries included in the same draw.
• Entry limits per person, and age and UK-only confirmation.
• An admin area to add competitions, see entries and sales, run the draw and publish winners.
• A winners page and support for drawing winners live on Facebook.
• Terms, privacy policy and FAQs set up for a competition site, plus search engine and AI search optimisation.

Built to stay on the right side of the rules

In the UK, a paid prize competition needs to be a genuine competition of skill or offer a free entry route, otherwise it can count as an unlicensed lottery. We build these features in from the start. We are web specialists rather than lawyers, so we recommend you have your terms checked by a legal adviser before you launch.
