How CauseWin Works

Playing on CauseWin is simple. Every ticket you buy gives you a chance to win a prize and automatically supports a charity you choose. Here is how it works from start to finish.

Simple and transparent

From competition to charity payment

Everything is designed to be easy to understand, from choosing your prize to seeing your charity contribution confirmed.

Step 1

Pick a Competition

Browse our live competitions across a range of prize categories including cash prizes, experiences, and brand prizes. Every competition page shows you exactly what you can win, the ticket price, the total number of tickets available, and how much has already been raised for charity.

Step 2

Choose Your Charity

Before you complete payment, choose which registered charity receives a share of the proceeds from your ticket purchase. You can search from over 170,000 UK registered charities. Whether it is a local hospice, a national cause, or something close to your heart, the choice is yours.

Step 3

Buy Your Tickets

Select how many tickets you want and complete your purchase securely through our payment system. You will receive a confirmation email with your ticket numbers immediately. Every ticket is randomly assigned a unique number and entered into the draw.

Step 4

The Draw

When all tickets for a competition have been sold, or the closing date is reached, the draw takes place. Draws are conducted fairly and transparently. Winners are announced on our website and notified directly by email.

Step 5

Win or Support

If your number comes up, you win. If not, you have still made a direct contribution to a charity that matters to you. Either way, you are part of something good.

Final Step

The Charity Payment

CauseWin processes the charity donation within 30 days of each competition closing. You will receive confirmation of the donation made in your name to your chosen charity.
