Live Fairway Competitions competitions

These are all 38 Fairway Competitions draws we're currently tracking, ranked by Value Ratio — best value first. A lower ratio means more of the entry money is backed by the prize. Max odds is your chance if every ticket sells; current odds is 1 in the tickets sold so far.

What are the odds of winning with Fairway Competitions?

Fairway Competitions publishes a fixed ticket allocation for each draw, so unlike a lottery your maximum odds are known before you enter: one ticket in a fixed pool is exactly that — one in the total allocation. The shortest odds available from them right now are 1 in 26.

Your real odds are usually better than that, because most UK draws close before selling out. Fairway Competitions draws sell an average of 3% of their tickets by the closing date, so on a typical draw you're competing against roughly 3% of the advertised pool rather than all of it — provided the draw goes ahead as scheduled. Always check the operator's terms on what happens when a draw doesn't sell out.

The current odds column in the table above is that number live: 1 in the tickets sold so far. Put any specific draw through the raffle odds calculator to see the exact probability for the number of tickets you're buying.

Is Fairway Competitions legit?

Yes — Fairway Competitions operates as a legal UK prize competition. Under the Gambling Act 2005 an operator must include either a genuine element of skill or a free postal entry route on equivalent terms to avoid being classified as an illegal lottery. Fairway Competitions trades publicly at fairwaycompetitions.co.uk, publishes its terms, ticket allocations and prize values, and we can reliably surface their live competition data — which is the prerequisite for inclusion in our directory.

Inclusion here is not an endorsement, and we don't verify winners independently. Before entering any UK prize competition, check the operator's own terms for three things: the free postal entry route, the draw method (usually a live stream or a verified random number generator), and how they handle a draw that doesn't sell out. Our FAQ covers the common legitimacy questions, and the methodology page explains how we produce every number on this page.

How to get the best value from Fairway Competitions

• Compare the ratio, not the prize. A £100,000 car on a huge ticket allocation can be worse value than a £2,000 watch on a small one. The Value Ratio column above does that maths for you.
• Their draws rarely sell out. At an average 3% sell-through, the real field is usually far smaller than the advertised allocation — which works in your favour, as long as the draw still goes ahead.
• Use the free entry route if value is your only motive. Every legal UK operator must offer one. It's slower, but the odds are identical.
• Set a budget first. See our responsible play guide.
