Best of the Best (BOTB) is the original and longest-established name in UK car competitions, having started in 1999. With over 25 years of operation and more than £95 million in prizes awarded to date, BOTB has a track record that no other site in this comparison can match. The format is skill-based: entrants are asked to spot the precise location of a ball hidden in a high-res photo, with the closest guess winning. This is distinct from most other sites which use a random number draw.
BOTB runs two main weekly draws — the flagship Dream Car competition and an Easy Win competition with smaller prizes. Prizes span luxury supercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche), family SUVs, tech, watches, holidays, and cash. Tickets start from 50p. Uniquely, winners can choose the car shown, take a cash equivalent, or choose a different vehicle. The weekly guaranteed winner format is a major attraction.
BOTB is listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM) and is therefore subject to full financial reporting requirements, giving it a level of corporate accountability that no private competitor can match. Their Trustpilot rating sits at 4.0 — lower than some newer competitors, reflecting the occasional frustration with the skill-based format. Their BCR Score of 4.72/5 accounts for their slightly higher ticket costs on premium draws and the narrower prize window during off-peak weeks.
BCR Verdict: The most established and institutionally trustworthy site in UK car competitions. BOTB is ideal for those who want to enter a genuinely prestigious competition with a near-certain winner every week. The skill-based format adds an element of genuine engagement. If you only enter one competition site, BOTB’s legitimacy and track record make it a strong benchmark choice.
