The 8 Best BOTB Alternatives UK (2026): Car Competition Sites With Published Odds

BOTB (Best of the Best) is the UK's original car competition — but its skill-based “closest price guess” format means you can never know your exact odds before entering, because there's no published ticket count. If that bothers you, you're not alone: “BOTB alternative” is one of the most-searched phrases in the UK competition space. The good news is that dozens of legitimate UK operators run traditional fixed-ticket draws where your odds are published up front — and we track all of them in real time.

What Makes a Good BOTB Alternative?

Three things BOTB can't give you, and a traditional draw can:

• Published ticket counts — you know exactly how many tickets exist before you buy, so you can calculate your precise odds with our raffle odds calculator.
• A comparable Value Ratio — we divide the operator's maximum ticket revenue by the prize's cash value. A VR near 1.0 means a genuinely fair draw; above 3.0 means you're paying well over the odds.
• Guaranteed draw dates — most fixed-ticket sites draw live on Facebook or YouTube on a set date whether or not the competition sells out.

Is BOTB Still Worth Entering?

Yes, for some people. BOTB has run since 1999, has an unrivalled winners archive, and the skill element makes it a legal competition rather than gambling under the Gambling Act 2005. What it lacks is transparency of odds — you're competing against an unknown number of entries. If you enjoy the price-guessing format, there's nothing wrong with it; if you want to know your exact chance before spending money, a fixed-ticket alternative above will suit you better. Our full BOTB review covers the format in detail.
