Our Verdict
Property raffles are rare because they're legally complex and logistically demanding. Raffle House pulls it off. The prizes are real properties, legally transferred, with fair cash alternatives for winners who prefer liquidity. Early bird draws reward loyal entrants.
How It Works
Raffle House runs draws for specific properties. A set number of tickets are sold; when the target is reached (or a deadline passes), the draw takes place. The winner receives the property (or a cash equivalent) legally transferred in their name. All legal costs are detailed in the T&Cs.
Is It Legitimate?
Raffle House is UK-registered and UKGC compliant. Property transfers are handled through standard UK conveyancing. Free postal entry satisfies the Gambling Act 2005 requirement.
Legal Note
UK law (Gambling Act 2005, Section 14) requires all paid competition sites to offer a free entry route — typically via post. Every site in our top 10 complies. Always check the T&Cs for the free entry process before paying.
