Entering a competition is an act of trust. Before results appear on the Winners Page, this message explains — step by step — how every BOTB winner is selected. No action is required from you.

At BOTB we organize 2 type of competitions:
⦿ Dream Car Competition – a skill game in which you are competing against a professional judges panel in determining the position of the ball on a predefined picture
⦿ Prize Draw Competitions (postal entry competitions) – competitions in which you can enter for free by postal entry or where you can buy tickets online.

BOTB has been organizing competitions for over 25 years and we are the only company with a full transparent process that is run and monitored by 3rd parties in order to ensure a fair winner selection process.

Dream Car Competition – skill based judging
Schedule: Opens each Monday; closes the following Sunday at 23:59 UK time.
Judging: On Monday morning, a panel of professional sporting experts view the same image you played and each marks the ball’s centre. In a blind consensus session — filmed and overseen by an independent lawyer— they agree the final coordinate.
You can find details about the Judging Panel on Winners Page, by selecting a Dream Car Competition winner and scroling to the bottom part of the page. There you will find the Judging Panel that judged the competition.
Winner: The entry closest to that coordinate is the winner. Tie‑break rules apply if required.
Controls:
• Judges see no player data or ticket values.
• BOTB staff have no influence on the panel.
• Full session is recorded and retained for compliance review and published on the Winner Page.
• Ball position is not known before and the Judging Panel is the one who selects the winning position after independent judging.

Prize Draw Competitions (free postal entry competition)
Schedule: Each draw closes at the advertised time on the BOTB website.
No entries excluded: We wait two UK postal working days to receive all free postal entries post‑marked on or before the closing date.
We are one of the only Prize Draw Competition operators that takes compliance seriously and which makes sure that your entries are processed and entered into the competition that you have selected and they are not replaced by alternatives.
Draw execution: Once all entries are logged, PromoVeritas — the UK’s leading independent promotional‑verification service — conducts the random draw on our behalf.
