FAQs

  • Who are Best of the Best and why should I trust you?

    Best of the Best Plc are a UK company quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. We have been trading for over 9 years and have given away over £9 million of cars to over 250 winners. Please click here to see details of our Board of Directors and details of our financial advisers.

    We are also part owned by the British Airports Authority (BAA Ltd.) who operate most of the major UK airports. Back to questions.

  • Where are you based?

    Our head office in South West London (2 Plato Place, 72-74 St Dionis Road, London SW6 4TU) and we can be contacted on +44 207 371 8866 or info@botb.com.

    In total (head office and airport sites) we currently employ approximately 90 staff.

  • How do I enter?

    The winner of the competition is determined using a computerised 'spot the ball' competition which you will enter as part of the ticket buying process.

    You will be shown a photograph that has had the ball removed from it. You must use your skill and judgement to decide where you think the centre of the ball would logically have been. Your chosen point(s) will be recorded as  (x:y) coordinates.

    At the end of the competition the same picture is shown to a professional sporting judge in the presence of a lawyer and he marks (in exactly the same way) where in his professional opinion he thinks the centre of the ball ought to have been. The winner is simply the person who is closest to the judge's position.

    Full instructions are given on screen as you enter. If you have any queries please call our customer service team on +44 207 371 8866.

  • Why Spot the Ball?

    This is because we operate as a skill based game and not as a lottery or a raffle.

  • Does Best of the Best Plc own all the cars on display?

    Yes. All of the cars displayed in the airports are owned and fully paid for in advance by Best of the Best Plc - we currently have a stock of over £2 million of cars ready to be given away!

    From time to time, we add cars/other products into the prize line-up that we don't own - which we will then order if the winner chooses them.

  • Where can I buy tickets?

    You can buy tickets at one of our airport stands (Supercar Competitions only) or from our website.

  • How much is it to enter?

    Currently, it costs from just 60p to enter an Instant Win competition, and tickets for the Supercar Competition can be purchased for as little as £10. 

    You can also enter our Free Competition if you just want to give it a go and see how it works.

  • Will I get a receipt of my purchase?

    Yes. If you buy online, you will immediately be emailed with confirmation of  your purchase. Details of the competition(s) you have entered can also be seen in your personal Account (you will need to be logged in).

    If you purchase at the airport you will be handed printed copies of your entries and you will also receive confirmation via email if you have given us your email address.  Once again, details of the competition(s) you have entered can be seen in your personal Account (you will need to be logged in).

    If you do not receive confirmation of your purchase, or if you cannot access your personal Account, please contact us on +44 (0)207 371 8866.

  • Are there any special offers for buying more than one ticket?

    We have a number of offers on both Supercar and Instant Win competitions.  Supercar tickets are just £10 when you purchase ten or more, and Instant Win games can be played from just 60p a go.

    If you are a regular player, you may want to consider our Subscriptions, where you will receive discounted tickets and great rewards (such as a Ferrari F430 for 24 hours!)

  • What can I win?

    The winner of a Supercar Competition will get to choose from the list of cars (and other prizes) detailed on the competition page.  A cash alternative is also offered and most cars are available in Left or Right Hand drive (please see full terms and conditions).

    Please note, that if you have entered our competition at an airport, you do NOT necessarily have to take the car on show at that airport.  Cars can also be ordered by Best of the Best Plc, in basic specification, but delivery from the manufacturer may take several months.

    The winner of an Instant Win or Ticket Limited Competition will claim the specific prize as stated in the competition (shipping is free). A cash alternative is also offered, which is stated in the competition information.

    If an Instant Win Competition closes (reaches the 'drop dead' date) without the winning spot having been selected, the winner (being the person closest to the Judge's chosen coordinates) will receive the amount of Game Credit stated in the competition information.

  • Who choses the cars that can be won?

    We do - we all love cars at Best of the Best and that is why we started the company - we always welcome new ideas though and so please email us if you would like to see any other cars offered.

  • When do the competitions finish?

    Time Limited Competitions (such as the Supercar Competition) close after the specified number of days or time has lapsed. Currently, our Supercar Competitions are guaranteed to finish at the end of each month.

    Instant Win Competitions close instantaneously, as soon as a person chooses the winning spot.  There is also a 'drop dead' date, after which the competition will automatically close and the winner will then be the person who is closest to the Judge's coordinates (see terms and conditions).

    Ticket Limted Competitions will simply close immediately after the last ticket has been sold.

  • When are the results announced?

    Results are usually announced approximately 10-14 days after the competition has finished.  Although we try to get the results out as soon as possible, the formal judging process takes time, and contacting winners and confirming identification can sometimes be diffficult.

    Competition results will be posted on our website, and if you have given us a valid email address, you will receive notification via email as well.  You should also log in to your Accoount to check the results, to see how close you were and to see if you have earned any rewards (Game Credit).

  • How will I know if I win?

    When you purchase a ticket you will have submitted your address, at least one telephone number and an email address. Our Managing Director, William Hindmarch, will personally call if you are the lucky winner of one of Supercar Competitions.

    If you do not win we will email you the results . We will also display the results and details of the winner on this website.  Finally, you can log in to your Accoount to check the results, to see how close you were and to see if you have earned any rewards (Game Credit).

  • How many winners have there been?

    We are proud to say that to date we have given over £9 million worth of prizes to over 250 winners from around the world.

  • Where do you deliver the car to?

    We deliver the car anywhere in the world free of charge but naturally there are some conditions associated with this - please see the full terms and conditions for more details.

    The main issue can be import duties into certain countries which we may not pay for. However, if these circumstance arise, it may be preferable to take the cash alternative and then buy the equivalent car in your country....we can of course assist with this.

  • How are the competitions judged?

    All of our competitions comply with UK gaming law, which requires them to be skill based. We use 'spot the ball' as the basis for our skilled competitions as it is both widely recognised and easy to understand. The process we use to operate and judge our 'spot the ball' games is in compliance with UK Gaming Commission guidelines. See the 'How to Play' section for full details.

    The Judge is a football referee, who has officiated in the FA Premier League and for FIFA in 78 International matches in 35 countries. He was Honorary President of The Board of the Referees' Association of England and is a FIFA and UEFA referee assessor and instructor.

    The Lawyers are a firm of Solicitors with multiple offices in London, UK and the Competition Auditors are Wilkins Kennedy, an international firm of accountants.

  • If I win can I choose whether my car is Right or Left Hand Drive?

    The winner of a Car Competition will get to choose from the list of cars (and other prizes) detailed on the competition page. Many of these we already own and are on display in the airport. Most cars are available in Left or Right hand drive (please see full terms and conditions). Cars can also be ordered by Best of the Best Plc, in Left or Right hand drive, but delivery from the manufacturer may take several months.

    Please note, that if you have entered our competition at an airport, you do NOT necessarily have to take the car on show at that airport.

  • I live abroad so what happens if I win the car?

    We deliver the car anywhere in the world free of charge but naturally there are some conditions associated with this - please see the full terms and conditions for more details.

    If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

    The main issue can be import duties into certain countries which we may not pay for. However, if these circumstance arise, it may be preferable to take the cash alternative and then buy the equivalent car in your country....we can of course assist with this.

  • Do you help with insuring and servicing my Supercar when I win?

    Yes! We give you £6,000 towards insurance and servicing costs, to help you in the first year of owning a Supercar. See terms and conditions for full details, but essentially you send us the bills for the first year up to a total of £6,000 and we pay them!
