BOTB (Best of the Best plc) has been running competitions since 1999 and has given away over £53 million of cars and cash prizes so far. Every week there are guaranteed winners in the Dream Car and Midweek Lifestyle Competitions, along side many other winners of Dream Car Credit.
We're a UK-based company, listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and are therefore required to adhere to the highest legal and audit standards. We currently employ approximately 25 staff.
You can see who works here, as well as information about who is on the Board of Directors and details of our lawyers, auditors and financial advisers in the About section.
You can enter on the BOTB website and on the BOTB app.
For the Dream Car Competition, simply add tickets to your basket for the prizes you'd like to win, play Spot the Ball and then proceed to checkout. For further information, watch our How to Play video.
For the Midweek Lifestyle and Friday Fun Competitions, add tickets for the prizes you'd like to win and answer the skilled multiple choice question. Your answer applies to all tickets in that order. Good luck!
At the end of the Dream Car Competition, the same 'Spot the Ball' picture you used to choose your coordinates is shown to a judging panel comprised of professional sporting experts. In the presence of an independent lawyer they mark where they think, in their professional opinion, the centre of the ball should be. The winner of the car is simply the person who is closest to the judged position. They will receive the car corresponding to their winning ticket and other entrants will win Dream Car Competition Credit if they are located in zones 1-5.
For the Midweek Lifestyle Competition, the winner is drawn from all correct entries by PromoVeritas, the UK's leading independent promotional verification service. They will receive the prize corresponding to their winning ticket.
There is a limit of 75 tickets per customer, per competition for the Dream Car and Midweek Lifestyle Competitions. Read more in our terms and conditions.
Dream Car Competition tickets range from 80p - £4.95, depending on the type of car you'd like to win.
Midweek Lifestyle Competition tickets start from just 50p, depending on the type of prize you'd like to win.

In the Dream Car Competition there can only be one car winner. If a case arises where two or more players are equally close to the judges position, the winner will be determined by calculating the next closest entry of the players in question. The person with the closest second ticket is then the outright winner. If any player in this equidistant scenario has only one ticket, all players that qualify will participate in another Spot the Ball competition online to determine the outright winner.
All equidistant players who do not win outright, will receive £1,000 in cash. Please be sure to read the full terms and conditions.
Dream Car Credit is won as a reward for doing well in our Competitions. Dream Car Credit can only be used to enter the Dream Car or Midweek Lifestyle Competitions and cannot be withdrawn.
You can play the Dream Car or Midweek Lifestyle Competitions for free if you have enough Dream Car Credit, or you can use it in part payment. Dream Car Credit will automatically be deducted from your account at checkout with any qualifying purchase.
You can also earn Dream Car Credit by Referring a Friend if you are a member of the Supercharged Club or by winning it as a runner-up in one of our Competitions.
Please note: Dream Car Credit will expire - check your Account for details.
We are legally obliged to use a game of skill to determine the winner of our competitions - not simply a lottery or raffle. We use 'Spot the Ball' as it's widely recognised, fun and an easy way to enter. You will be shown a sporting photograph that does not contain a ball.
You must use your skill and judgement to decide where you think the centre of the ball should be. Your chosen points will be recorded as (x,y) coordinates, stored in our database and saved in your account.
There's a Dream Car Competition winner every week. Competitions run from midnight until midnight (UK time*), Monday to Sunday, 52 weeks a year. Judging takes place on a Monday morning and the winner will usually be surprised in person by BOTB on Tuesday.
Results will be announced to all entrants once the car winner has been notified. Competition results and notification of Dream Car Competition Credit won will be posted on our website and you will also receive notification via email. You can log in to your Account to check the results, see how close you were and to see how much Dream Car Competition Credit you have won .

The basis of the game must categorically be the skill of an entrant versus the skill of professionals - not versus the chance that the original spot on the football picture is picked. It is a subtle but important legal definition by which we are bound to operate.
The panel of judges is formed of experienced professionals on a rotating basis, including both referees and players, who each offer their best opinion.
Using a panel of judges ensures that nobody can ever know the original position of the ball - resulting in a process that is fair, transparent, audited and honest.
You will be emailed a confirmation of your order and competition entries immediately after entering.
If you're a first time player, you'll also receive an email confirming your account log-in details.
Information about all of the competitions you have entered, their status and the results are available on the My Competitions page.

You may not agree with the Judges perfectly each week! But many others will, including the guaranteed winners. The panel of professional judges do the best possible job they can, and we would ask you to consider that they are fair and logical over a good period of time, even if on the odd occasion you really don't agree. It is a subjective process and has to be, by law.
