New Competition Operators UK

This page lists live UK competitions run by operators we have only recently started tracking. "New" is measured from the first draw of theirs we ever listed, not from the age of the company — a site can have been running competitions for years and still appear here the month we add it, and an operator we added weeks before their first draw went live is dated from the draw, because that is when they actually appeared on the site. Being here is a statement about our catalogue and nothing more: it is not a recommendation, and it is not a warning. Most operators on this page carry no published trust grade yet, and a blank grade means we have not assessed them, not that they scored badly — our assessment runs on a cycle and simply has not reached them. Until it does, the things worth checking yourself are the ones every operator publishes: the total tickets on sale, the closing date, whether there is a free entry route, and the terms on their own site. Everything you enter is completed on the operator's site, so their terms are the ones that bind.

The first competition of theirs we ever listed was within the last 30 days. It is measured from our catalogue rather than from a company registration date, so an established business we have only just added appears here, and an operator whose listing we set up months ago but whose first draw only went live this week appears here too.

No. Every operator on the site has been reviewed before being added, and any operator we have suspended or removed is excluded from this page, as they are from every listing. What being new means is that we do not yet have a measured record of their draws — how they price, how fast they sell, whether they close on time — because we have not been watching them long enough to have one.

Our grading pass runs on a cycle and a newly added operator has usually not been through it yet. A missing letter means not yet assessed — it is not a low grade, and it is not a grade we are withholding. Once an assessment is published, the operator's own page carries the grade and the checklist it was scored on.

A shorter record here means less evidence either way, which is a reason to look at the draw itself rather than to assume anything about the operator. Check the published ticket cap so you know your worst-case odds, check the closing date, check whether a free entry route is offered, and read the terms on the operator's own site before you buy a ticket.

Some ask to be listed, and some we find ourselves — we track new UK competition sites as they launch and review each one before adding it. Once an operator is added we import their live draws throughout the day, the same as every other operator on the site.

The operator directory lists them all, new and established, with the trust signals we hold for each. From there you can open any operator's own page to see their live draws, the record we have measured, and their published grade where one exists.
