They are there to help.

Had to go to the bank today to sort out a scam competition i had signed up to and was seen by Raveena. She was very knowledgeable and helpful as all the staff are. I had a dispute over the competition taking more out than agreed Raveena did all the work on my phone with the bank app and it's in there hands now. Been with the bank for over 50 years and never had a problem I would recommend them.

Review of Elite Competitions


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Think before you subscribe.

I subscribed to Elite Competitions on 30/09/25 in the last hour of that month thinking my subscription would start on 01/10/25 and I agreed to pay £50 a month for the gold package. Now a few days later I looked on the bank app on my phone to find Elite Competitions had took out £100 out of my account £50 took out on 01/10/25 and £50 took out on 02/10/25. They said £50 was for the last hour in September and £50 was for 01/10/25 to 31/10/25. So after lots of texts back and forth to them they was having none of it and said no refund so I had to go to my bank and explained everything to them they said it sounds like a scam and there looking into it now for me... Would I recommend to anyone no chance don't waste your money. Just like to add to my post after there reply on joining on 30/09/25 I understand now I missed out on 29 days of September also you say I can unsubscribe any time now you don't say once you unsubscribe your out of the draw for that month or if your still in the draw for that month as I paid £100 am staying in the draw for now just to see the benefits and see if I win.

just looking for one win.

Been playing now coming up to 4 years and nothing to show did win once £400 website credit just cannot win no matter how many tickets i get am still thousands of numbers away. For the setup and choice to play on any competition is easy to play and pay no problem there just need one win to help pay for what I have lost.

First time getting travel insurance.

First time getting travel insurance not sure what I was letting myself in for till I rang up they was very polite and noligable and talked me through everything to get the best cover as you never know when you will need it. I had no problems just had to get through the recorded introduction first.

C1 & D1 entitlement at 70

At 70 i have to renew my driving licence so i did it all on line only to find out this cannot be done if i wont to keep C1 & D1 on my licence. So i rang them up only to be told if i want to keep C1 & D1 i need to have a medical the doctor told me this will cost £120 but i need to get a form from DVLA first and i need to have an eye test. So by the look of it there taking it of the licence why can they not leave it on. When i past my test i was entiteld now am not unless i pay. They should give me the choice not them making the choice for me.

playing over 2 years.

I only gave 3 stars as I have not won anything yet playing for over 2 years now and still nothing to show for it although I did win £400 website credit once that did not last long. Next time I hope I can give 5 stars.

I have been playing aspirecomps now for about a year and only playing what I can afford you always have a chance every time you play and I was lucky enough to win £400 website credit this I am still using. its very addictive and you can overspend chasing what you have lost so best to just play a limit amount and you mite win like I did.

it can become costly as you chase the money you have lost. There is always a chance you mite win but in my case am not even near. I only started playing when my friend won a camper van.

Sorry to hear that you feel this way Richard, we intend for our competitions to be a bit of light hearted fun for a low ticket cost, please don't spend more than you can afford to loose taking part with us. Each ticket has an equal chance of being a winner and it really does come down to luck at the end of the day, we hope you manage to get a win with us, but if our competitions have stopped being fun for you then maybe it may be time to have a break.
