Tommy French Competitions Review

Tommy French Competitions launched in 2021 and has grown to be a popular prize draw destination offering cash prizes, tickets and they've even held their own property giveaway. The name comes from Tommy French Bookmakers, a family run independent bookie in Northern Ireland. At time of writing (March 2024) they were offering mainly cash prizes with tickets at reasonable cost. They even have free entry draws too.

Tommy French Competitions


Although the site has Northern Ireland roots, as does seem a lot of pay to enter prize draw sites, Tommy French Competitions Limited is registered in The West Midlands. We first heard about them when they gave away The Christmas House in a prize draw during 2023. Over 50,000 tickets were sold which isn't too shabby although the aim was for almost double that number. Since then they've ran four other property competitions but don't seem to be as keen on them as McKinney, Bear etc. In terms of platform Tommy French Competitions looks as though they have a bespoke set-up. Most certainly they don't seem to be using Zap and/or Wordpress. The site itself looks good although it does have a gambling sway to it in terms of imagery.

What Prizes Can You Win?

The vast majority of Tommy French Competitions (June 2025) offer the chance to win cash prizes. Of 19 active prize draws, 12 of them feature under the cash category. All the cash draws all seem to be instant win too with prize pots varying in size and the main jackpot often not that clear. The biggest cash prize on offer is for £27,500! Away from cash there's a chance to win a Ford Mustang, Stella Island Luxury Resort Holiday and a Maldives Holiday (which btw is free entry!). A couple of prize draws are helping raise funds for charity whilst another two feature under "games" which feature scratchcard and spin the wheel elements. Ticket prices are reasonable, the cheapest was 39p but the most expensive £4.99. Some prize draws had sale prices too. There is a lot of clarity with respect to entries with each draw clearly indicating the number of tickets sold and those that are still available. Entry lists are also available but you can only access these if you're logged in.

How To Enter Tommy French Competitions

Entering prize draws at Tommy French Competitions is very easy. You simply select the number of tickets you wish to buy for a particular draw, answer a very easy multiple choice question and purchase them. You do need to be registered and logged in to the site to participate. Each prize draw has a limited number of tickets that can be purchased. There are limits to the number of entries per person per draw and these are shown on the competition page alongside any discounts that are available should you purchase your tickets in bulk. A no purchase entry route is available for all prize draws and these are outlined in the terms and conditions. Given the price of tickets versus stamps then it's only really a useful option for the more expensive draws. According to their FAQ, competitions are not extended - unless there are exceptional circumstances - and all prizes go ahead regardless of tickets sold.

Do People Win At Tommy French Competitions?

Prize draw winners are "selected using Google random number generator" and this is all done live via Tommy French Competitions's Facebook feed as well as other social channels. When the winning number is selected the winner is then shown being highlighted so there's full transparency. A full list of winners can be found on social media and on their webpage. The web winners content provides the name of who won and the winning ticket number. There are no links to the prize draw videos though or the entry lists plus you can only see the winners if you're logged in. Furthermore no details are given regarding number of ticket sales for the completed draws. All the winners are on one page - which sounds bad - but it's a very very long page. A little bit of pagination wouldn't go amiss here.

Responsible Play & Other Reviews

As a bookmaker you'd have though that Tommy French Competitions would be leading the call for responsible play in the competitions sector. However there's no obvious reference to responsible play on the website. The site does have the feel of a slots brand and some of the images (e.g. Tommy's Farm Frenzy) would definitely be pulled up for appealing to younger people if The UKGC regulated this sector. But they don't so it's simply a case of hoping platforms take the lead. In terms of reviews Tommy French Competitions don't have too many on Trustpilot which may suggest they don't court them like competitors do. The comments seem largely positive whilst the 1* section contains those that haven't won and a mention or two about not processing postal entries.

Our Verdict

We almost didn't list Tommy French Competitions because the site at first glance omits some content. As a newbie to the site it'd be preferable to see that people do win and that this information is not hidden until you've logged in. The entry lists give transparency and they're fine behind the login. However we would like to see an 'about us' page on the site and a contact form. These details are on Facebook but if you were looking for a contact page or help with your account section then you'd be frustrated. Being related to a bookmaker company we're also surprised Tommy French Competitions doesn't even touch upon responsible play. On a positive note we like the cheap prices and the occasional free prize draw. If you end up a regular on Tommy French Competitions then do check out their VIP Facebook Group. It's free to join and is the place to pick up discount codes and other special offers and prizes.
