BOTB (Best Of The Best) Exposed — How to Win a Car?
BOTB Review
Dream of owning that amazing car? Botb.com offers just that. This is a weekly competition to win your dream car.
What Is Botb.com?
BOTB is a car drawing. It’s played weekly by purchasing tickets and the “spotting the ball”. You are shown a picture of a football match and you’ve got to guess where the ball should be. When the contest closes, the judges decide where the center of the ball is, and then whoever is closest to this point wins. It’s that simple. Tickets range in price from £3 – £20 depending on which car you want to win. That was where I got seriously distracted surfing through the different vehicles. I seesawed between the Maserati and the Alfa Romeo.

Who Can Participate?
The BOTB’s game is open to anyone 16 years of age or older depending on the “age of majority” where you live. What is clear is anyone can play from anywhere – as long you don’t work for botb.com. The only downside is if you do live outside the UK, there could be other costs on claiming your dream car.
What Are the Prizes Offered by BOTB?
For the Dream Car Competition, there is one car award. It looks like the winner gets to choose from the vehicles advertised. Any options or upgrades are paid for by the winner. The first prize includes insurance for the 1st year and one-year warranty servicing. Winners also have the option to take cash at a value of 80%. There are 20 runner-up prizes of £200 for Dream Car tickets for another competition. Oh, and if there is a tie for the Dream Car, the person who loses gets £500 cash and £500 worth of more tickets.
Who Owns BOTB.com?
BOTB is a registered company in the UK listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and has been around since 1999. They have a snail mail address, phone number, and email address – plus an online form. This is the dream child of William Hindmarsh who always wanted to own that dream car and decided to set up a game for others to be able to do that.
What Are the Terms & Conditions?
When I first looked at the prizes offered in BOTB’s Dream Car Competitions, I got all excited because I misread the small print. I thought it said that ticket entries for each of the prizes are limited to 150 people. What it actually says is, that tickets are limited to 150 per person plus any “Supercharged Loyalty Club Tickets”. The Supercharged Club is a bonus system for extra tickets and refer-a-friend cash awards.
Also in the small print, if the car is delivered in the UK then UK VAT is paid by botb.com. If it is delivered to Europe, UK VAT is paid, but any other costs like taxes, import duties, and registration costs will be paid by the winner. That goes for any other country. They’ll get to the closest port and then you’ve got to sort out the rest.
How to Collect a Prize?
Botb.com will contact the winner, but if they can’t within 5 days, then it goes to the next person. Disqualification can also take place if you break the rules of the game and mostly that looks like getting more than the limit on tickets. Winners have to provide a copy of their passport, prove the credit card used to purchase tickets was theirs, provide pictures of them, and pose for photos and videos.

Is BOTB.com Legit?
This site looks legit and does exactly what it says – players can win a car a week. I love the concept of a chance to win my dream car. The “spot the ball” idea is a hilarious way to choose a winner. The only downside is not knowing how many other people you are playing against!
BOTB gets a thumbs up partly for its simplicity and partly for the amazing different dream cars to win. I’m going back to looking at cars!

Lots of UK winners they could do better with more OS winners.
I live in Australia and have come close on a few occasions. Whether the Luxury Car Tax or cost of High End Models is too much compared to the UK, could the winning coordinates be moved to keep costs down??
Just a Question, still play from Sydney every week.
Are the Coordinates of the winning cross determined before the competition ends?
Just some questions, but a PLC would never want to get caught doing anything illegal because everyone that had come close could demand the cars they were playing for in a Civil Court matter in a Class Action and get awarded them and their money back. I don’t think this BOTB is rigged at all, it’s just being in the right place at the right time with your Cross, denoting the balls position.

played for the first time yesterday… today I got fraudulent activity using the same bank card .. it just goes to show, when some things are too good to be true – they probably are. keep your money and play the national lottery instead – or better still just put it in the bank

It’s definitely NOT a scam, nor are winners limited to the UK only.
Last week a guy from Germany won & just today the winner is a young guy from Malawi!
I’ve seen male & female winners from many different countries & of all races & backgrounds.
This year (2021) alone, whilst not actually winning the car I played for, I have honestly won over £1000 in credits for near misses. My closest was only 2 pixels away & I won well over £200 as I also had a “nearest car” prize added.
Play, enjoy, spend only what you can afford and listen for the knock at your door, after me of course!

Been playing for years and follow the winners closely. Lots of duplicate winners. Seems very odd that there are some people winning 3-4 times. Luck that is almost too good to be true.
I could be wrong, it is just becoming very suspicious.
Have you evidence of duplicate winners, because I find that hard to believe.
Thanks
