A \u2018comper\u2019 is the name given to a person who enters competitions regularly. This is a great side hustle idea for anyone looking to earn a bit of extra cash or win prizes such as electronics, holidays and gift cards on the side. For some people, comping is a serious business; they spend hours finding and entering competitions. In fact, some compers enter hundreds of competitions every week.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do they spend so much time on comping?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different compers have different reasons, but for many, it\u2019s about the prizes\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can You Make Money Comping?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it is possible to make money doing competitions. In fact, many online competitions offer cash as a top prize. Make sure you check what the prizes are before entering if you\u2019re only interested in winning money. It could be an idea to look into whether you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/sidehustle\/can-you-make-money-doing-surveys\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">make money doing surveys online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in your free time as well as comping.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there\u2019s so much more on offer. Different competitions offer different prizes, and some are more unusual than others. Long-time comper Di Coke, the founder of SuperLucky, has won everything from holidays and shopping vouchers to a \u00a315,000 24 carat Gold Brewdog can (plus \u00a310,000 shares in Brewdog). In fact, over a period of 20 years, she has won over \u00a3300,000 worth of prizes.

The more competitions that you enter, the more success you\u2019ll have. For example, if you only enter one online competition, the chances of winning are slim. However, if you enter 300, your chances are higher.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, you still need to be selective with which comps you enter as there\u2019s only 24 hours in a day.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about time management, especially if you\u2019re doing comping as a side hustle.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do You Win Prizes In Comping?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst winning prizes when comping relies a little on luck, there\u2019s ways to enhance your chances. It\u2019s about using a strategy, being consistent and choosing the right competitions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s some ideas for increasing your chances of success:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Target Low-Entry Competitions<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lower the amount of competition entrants, the higher your chance of winning becomes.\u00a0 Keep an eye out for:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for local competitions on Facebook, local publications and radio stations.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Niche competitions that are hobby related or industry specific.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skill based competitions (less people tend to enter).<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><b>Enter Comps Regularly<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entering competitions is a bit of a numbers game.\u00a0 The more comps you enter, the better the odds of winning are.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allocate time each day or week to enter comps.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality over quantity &#8211; it\u2019s better to target the better competitions than doing mass entries.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><b>Look Out For Skill Competitions<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These types of competitions remove the randomness of luck as compers are judged on hitting the competition objective.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you may be asked to submit a recipe or finish a slogan in a certain number of words.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always be sure to stick to the competition brief &#8211; don\u2019t exceed any set limits.\u00a0 Make sure your entry is clear and concise and don\u2019t be afraid to show your human side with a bit of humour.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Track Entries<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to track details of the competitions you\u2019ve entered.\u00a0 This can help avoid duplicate entries that risk disqualification.\u00a0 Use something as simple as a spreadsheet to track:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which comps you\u2019ve entered<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any relevant deadlines<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the competition result will be announced<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What prizes are up for grabs<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips To Getting Started With Comping<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you fancy giving comping a go, here\u2019s a few tips to help you get up and running:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Make A Wish List<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t strictly necessary but it can add a bit of fun and interest to your comping journey.\u00a0 Your wish list can be absolutely anything, from a fly swatter to a washing machine.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea behind a wish list is to help you decide which competitions to enter.\u00a0 Obviously, you\u2019ll enter other comps along the way but it will be very satisfying if you manage to tick anything off from your wish list.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><b>Use A Dedicated Email Address<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First thing first: before you do anything, it\u2019s time to set up a new email account. You can use any free email service, such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo Mail.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A separate email account helps keep things cleaner so that your personal emails don\u2019t get mixed up with your competition related emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoids spam in your personal emails<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps keep things organised<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find win notifications easily<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another benefit to having a separate email account for competitions is that it\u2019s much quicker to find out about any new comps on offer.\u00a0 It\u2019s possible that some comps may have limited numbers so it helps if you can get involved straight away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to always check your junk folder!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Always Check The Terms And Conditions<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with most things these days, there\u2019s terms and conditions attached to competitions.\u00a0 It\u2019s vital that you fully get to grips with any competition rules.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If not followed, entries might be ineligible which can be infuriating to find out after you have completed an entry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some example terms and conditions:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entry is open to residents of specific locations (country, region or city).<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entry is not open to employees (and their families) of [brand], the suppliers of the prizes, and any other companies associated with the competitions.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All entrants must be aged 18 or over or have permission of a responsible adult aged 18 or over.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All entrants must be willing to provide full name and contact details and to have these details passed to the suppliers of the prizes.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrants must enter in a certain way (online form, email, social media etc).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you are familiar with the standard terms and conditions of competitions, you should be able to skim through the usual ones and focus on the additional ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the competition, you may need to agree to special terms. For example, if you enter a competition for a radio station, you may be asked to appear on air. If that\u2019s not something you feel comfortable doing, then it\u2019s worth avoiding entering.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Look Out For Scams<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve heard the expression \u2018it\u2019s too good to be true\u2019 right? Unfortunately, even with competitions, there\u2019s some unscrupulous scammers about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These can range from non-existent prizes to false prize descriptions such as a 5* hotel holiday actually being a room in a B&amp;B.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best ways to avoid scams is to only enter comps by brands you trust. If a well-known, trusted brand is advertising a competition, there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s for real. Another way to spot a scam competition is that you could be asked to pay in order to claim your prize. Regardless of whether you paid to enter, the actual claiming of the prize should cost you nothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A scammer may ask you to call a premium rate phone number or send you an official-looking letter asking for an administration fee. You can find more information about scam competitions at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/competition-and-markets-authority\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government Competition &amp; Markets Authority<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The simple rule is, if you think it looks dodgy, don\u2019t enter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Put In The Time And Effort<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to allow yourself time to search for the right online competitions.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also need to have time to fill out entry forms so you provide the required information on time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bit like writing reviews for money, you\u2019ll get quicker at submitting entires as time goes by.\u00a0 As you enter more and more competitions, the standard information required will become second nature so you\u2019ll know it instantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also make sure to check everything before your submit it as you don\u2019t want to go to all that trouble and then the entry be invalid.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>In It To Win it<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never dismiss anything outright and cast your eyes over as many competitions as you can. Consider it as a mini business where you\u2019re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/sidehustle\/freelancing-freelance-work-home\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">working from home on a freelance basis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller competitions could offer better odds of winning as there could be a lower number of entrants.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where To Find Online Competitions<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Times have changed from when you would see competitions in the local paper or on a cereal box.\u00a0 The vast majority of competitions are now available online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, let\u2019s have a look at where you could try to find online competitions in the UK:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Google Search<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type \u2018online competitions\u2019 into any search engine, and you\u2019ll get thousands of results. No, you don\u2019t have to trawl them all. On the first page alone, you\u2019ll find competition directories which have already done the trawling for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s plenty of UK based competition websites that offer great prizes including cash, holidays, electronics and cars.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elite Competitions<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prize Paradise<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CompCity Giveaways<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Prize Finder<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><b>Social Media<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as following the accounts of competition database sites (such as @competition.finder on Instagram), you can also search hashtags. For example, at the time of writing (August 2025), Instagram has 20.8m posts in #competition and 190,000 posts in #winmoney. Again, not all of these will be relevant to you, and there will be some amount of trawling, but you might find something that catches your eye. If you\u2019re stuck for ideas, check out sites like Best Hashtags for inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Facebook, you\u2019ll find groups to join and pages to follow. There are so many options when it comes to finding online comps.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Product Comping<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as online comping, a lot of brands advertise competitions on their packaging.\u00a0 This means you can get access to competitions from food and drinks companies when you make a trip to the supermarket.\u00a0 Although, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll still need to enter the comp online.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just be careful of the eligibility rules as they might require you to buy something.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Magazine<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competitions are available in magazines on all topics. Pick almost any magazine up off the shelf, have a flick through the pages, and you\u2019ll most likely find a page dedicated to comps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, Compers News is a hub, gathering together UK competitions from hundreds of newspapers, magazines, shopping centres, and supermarkets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, it\u2019s the UK\u2019s only magazine devoted to competitions and winning prizes. As always, look to enter online. That means you won\u2019t have to pay postage on a postcard entry, which makes the competitions free for you to enter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are Online Competitions Legit?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the most, yes they are.\u00a0 However, as we pointed out earlier, there are some scammers out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you stick to page 1 of Google search results, you should be dealing with reputable companies. They will have done at least some form of due diligence on the comps they are recommending.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to always check the T&amp;C\u2019s because even when you\u2019re using trusted competition websites, there\u2019s always the odd one that can slip through the net.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the biggest online competition websites and forums will be ones you\u2019ve heard of. For example, MoneySavingExpert has a dedicated Competition Time forum. You don\u2019t have to register to view posts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, Hot UK Deals has a \u2018Freebie\u2019 section and whilst it\u2019s not competitions, it\u2019s still a way to get products at no cost.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comping could be a great side hustle to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/sidehustle\/how-to-make-money-on-maternity-leave\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">make money on maternity leave<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or in retirement so long as you are finding and using legitimate competitions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Online Competitions To Avoid<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotting competitions to avoid won\u2019t be obvious to begin with but it&#8217;ll soon become second nature as you enter more and more competitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two main competition types you need to avoid are spam and scam.\u00a0 We covered off scam comps earlier so let\u2019s have a quick look at spam comps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spam comps aren\u2019t always bad but can get a little annoying.\u00a0 With spam competitions, the prizes on offer might be genuine but the objective of the company running the competition is more about the rewards they get.\u00a0 A lot of the time, your personal details are what they\u2019re after so they can sell them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Tips to avoid spam competitions<\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick to competitions run by brands you already know and trust.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have up-to-date antivirus software installed on your computer to protect against hidden viruses.

This one\u2019s important because it\u2019s easy to get caught out. For example, sometimes you\u2019ll be asked to tick a box to be excluded and sometimes not to tick it. What you\u2019re looking for is something that says, \u2018do X if you don\u2019t want your details to be passed onto third parties\u2019. This shouldn\u2019t affect your competition entry.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t pay to enter an online competition. Remember that there are so many free comps out there.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never hand over money to view \u2018exclusive\u2019 contest lists specifically aimed at compers.
