If you have been entering competitions on HotDraw UK and want to see what else is out there, this page explains what Treasure Square does differently and where the two overlap. Treasure Square is not affiliated with HotDraw UK in any way — this is our own site, written by us.
What HotDraw UK is
HotDraw UK (hotdraw.co.uk) is a UK online competition site. Its public site describes paid-ticket prize competitions with winners announced on Facebook Live draws, alongside instant win elements, across prize categories including LEGO, Pokémon, tech and cash.
For their current competitions, ticket prices, terms and entry routes, go to their site — those things change, and we are not the right source for them.
What Treasure Square does
Two things, and only one of them is a competition site.
The first is Instant Treasure: competitions with tickets from 20p, where the instant-win pool is settled at the moment your ticket is issued and a main prize is drawn at the end of the run. Cash and site credit prizes land in your wallet immediately; there is no separate claim step.
The second is the treasure hunts. Real UK towns are covered by a grid on a real map, prizes are hidden under specific squares, and you reveal squares to find them. Some locations are free to play. That game has no equivalent on a conventional competition site, and it is the main reason to look at us rather than the next draw site along.
Where the two genuinely overlap
Both are UK-only, 18+, run paid-ticket prize competitions, and give away comparable things — LEGO, tech, gift cards and cash. If what you want is specifically a LEGO or Pokémon draw, both sites are in that market and it is worth looking at whichever has the set you actually want on at the time.
We have never run a Pokémon competition. If that is what brought you here, we would rather say so than build a page pretending otherwise.
How to compare them yourself
The checks that separate any two competition sites are on our UK competition sites page: whether the ticket allocation is published, whether the instant-win prize list shows remaining quantities, where the free entry route is, and when prizes are actually paid. Apply them to both sites and you will get a better answer than any comparison page, including this one, can give you.
Frequently asked questions
Is Treasure Square connected to HotDraw UK?
No. Treasure Square is an independent UK company and has no affiliation, partnership or connection with HotDraw UK. We mention them here because people search for alternatives and we would rather answer that question than not appear.
What does Treasure Square do that a draw site does not?
Treasure hunts on real UK town maps, where prizes are hidden under map squares rather than drawn, and where some locations are free to play. That is a different game from buying a ticket into a draw.
Are the ticket prices similar?
Ours run from 20p to about £2, with most under 50p. For HotDraw UK's current prices, check their site — we are not going to quote a competitor's pricing second-hand.
