1. Browse live competitions
Start on the homepage. You will see the marketplace headline, a search bar, categories, and spotlight draws.

2. Find a competition to enter
Click All Competitions in the top nav to open the full listings page. From here you can add filters such as category, draw date, and more. You can also sort by draw date to see what closes soonest.

You can also search with the search bar. In our example we search for "MR2" and land on this Toyota MR2 Turbo raffle that we want to enter.

3. Open the competition page
Click the competition to open the listing. On the left you get the prize gallery and tabs for Description, Free entry, Delivery, and Terms. On the right you get everything that matters before you spend: countdown, draw date, tickets sold, price per ticket, and adding to basket.
You can pick how many entries you want by typing into the quantity field or by using the +/- buttons. The total price for the tickets is updated as you go. In our example we buy 24 tickets for £12.00 before fees.

4. Add to basket
When you are happy with the quantity, hit Add To Basket. A confirmation appears so you can keep browsing more draws or go straight to your basket.
Prefer not to pay? Paid competitions also offer free postal entry. Use the Free entry tab or the "Free postal entry available here" link on the page.

5. Review your basket
Open the basket icon in the top right, or click View Basket from the confirmation. Your basket shows each competition, how many entries you bought, and the line total. You can remove an item or keep shopping before you pay.

6. Go to checkout
On the checkout page you can adjust quantities, apply a promo code if you have one, and review the order summary. You will see the ticket subtotal, the platform service fee, and the total. Tick I accept the Terms of Service, then hit Checkout.

7. Pay securely
Payment opens in our secure checkout. Pay with Google Pay, Apple Pay, or enter your card details. Confirm the amount matches your order summary, then hit Pay.

8. You're entered
And you're done! You will see a confirmation screen with your order summary, and you will get an email confirming your entry. From here you can browse more competitions or view your orders to track everything you have entered.

What happens after you enter
- Your tickets are held in the prize pool until the draw runs.
- When the draw date arrives, or every ticket sells, the winner is picked by our automated system.
- If you win, you get notified via email and arrange prize handover with the host.
- Confirm receipt of the prize on the site once you have it. That closes the loop for you and the host.
