Is BOTB Legit?
Best of the Best (BOTB) is a genuine, established UK company — not a scam. That said, "legit" and "good value for everyone" aren't the same thing, so here's a balanced look at both sides.
The case that it's genuine
BOTB has run competitions since 1999, is a publicly listed UK company, and reports over 534,000 winners. It publishes winners on its website and social media, films prize handovers, and operates from a registered London head office. Independent press has covered real winners receiving real cars over many years.
The fair criticisms
The honest counterpoints are about value, not legitimacy: regular entry adds up, the odds depend on how many people play, and as with any competition most entrants won't win. None of that makes it a scam — it makes it entertainment with a cost, which should be budgeted like any other.
Is it gambling?
BOTB runs skill-based competitions (the Spot the Ball game), which are regulated differently from licensed lotteries. For how that mechanic works, see how BOTB works, and for the player's-eye view, what BOTB players say.
