I entered a competition for todays draw at 1pm for a Mavic drone.When I checked this morning 63 tickets had been sold.I've sat down to watch the live draw to find it's been changed to 5.30 pm...☹️.Is this allowing for mores sales?MMM so it begins.A tad underhand to boost sales when it looked so good.

Where was this?

Is it a genuine ‘competition’ or a sale disguised as a raffle - which has questionable legality under gambling regulations, for the possible problems you’re highlighting

Airsoft competitions,the logo above the froum browse option.

 
This is their first Wednesday draw, they normally draw on a Sunday lunch, so that people at a game day can tune in. I don't recall seeing anywhere that this Wednesday draw was scheduled at 1, all their promotional stuff (Facebook, Instagram, Etc), has shown it as being this evening.

That’s a banner advert, so the level of involvement or endorsement by the forum may vary.

From what they (Currently) have on the page it closes when the maximum tickets are sold, and is drawn later this evening

In reality its a sale, managed as a ‘prize draw’ with ‘no purchase necessary’ in the footnotes.

With 75 tickets at £5.99 they have just short of £450 for a £350 drone, and £599 if all tickets are sold

 
I also watch the Sunday draws but this was originally 1pm,when I purchased my ticket.

It also states the draw will take place wether it sells out or not.My issue is that they moved the draw time.

Saw the advert and assumed it was some sort of ukara workabout. I'll have a look now if it's genuine.

 
Exatly Tommikka,noone minds them making money but this goes beyond that doesn't it?This morning at 63 (when I checked) they still would've recovered their money.

Saw this advertised heavily at airsoft plantation, not sure if it’s linked to them.

I wondered at the time what this may be and assumed it was a league of some kind with a big prize at the end, this clarifies it somewhat!

Sounds very similar to that best of the best thing you see at airports where you play to win a car, not sure if I’d ever get involved with any of that.

It seems ok just an unfortunate event looking a bit like a scam.

 
Agreed, I wouldn’t go as far as a scam either it certainly presents as above board just not my bag thats all, odds are just a tad too steep here but then ain’t they all! 

 
It looks fine but the odd glitch like this will always send ripples especially through a community such as this.The way it is handled will always be subject to scrutiny.

At my point of purchase.Similar to the attachment I posted.

 
I think I might have a punt,risk a  few shillings.

You never know?

 
I've entered a handful of times and sadly not been lucky. 

The final straw was when i didn't win the Krytac Kriss Vector, I got the hump, had a hissy fit and un-liked the page*

*Will no doubt re-like the page and stop being a tart very soon ☺☺
