General
What is Dream To Reality?
A UK-based prize competition platform. We offer the chance to win high-value prizes — cars, watches, tech, cash and more — by buying low-cost tickets and answering a simple question, or by entering free of charge by post.
Is this legal?
Yes. Every competition has a free entry route, which is what allows us to operate lawfully as prize competitions under UK law — not lotteries.
Is it safe to use?
Yes. Payments are processed securely, and we never store your card details. Your data is handled in line with UK GDPR — see our Privacy Policy.
Who can enter?
You must be 18 or over and a resident of England, Wales or Scotland (Great Britain). We may ask you to verify your age and place of residence. We cannot accept entries from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, or anywhere outside Great Britain.
Entries
How do I enter?
Pick a competition, choose how many tickets you’d like, answer the question, and check out. Your tickets are confirmed instantly. You can also enter free of charge by post.
What’s the question when I enter?
A simple multiple-choice question you answer when entering. It’s an additional feature of our competitions — the free entry route, not the question, is what makes them lawful under UK law.
Can I enter for free?
Yes. Every competition has a free postal entry route with the same chance of winning as paid entries. Full details and the postal address are in the free postal entry section of our Terms & Conditions.
How many tickets can I buy?
Each competition has a maximum number of tickets, and some limit tickets per person. Limits are shown on each competition page.
Payments
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major debit and credit cards.
Are refunds available?
Once you’ve entered a competition, entries are generally non-refundable, except where a competition is cancelled or in the case of a genuine error. A competition would only ever be cancelled in very exceptional and unavoidable circumstances beyond our control that make it necessary to do so; where that happens, all paid entry fees are refunded within 14 days. See our Terms & Conditions.
Winners & Prizes
How are winners chosen?
After a competition closes, the winning ticket is selected using Random.org, an independent random number generator. Each draw is streamed and recorded live on Instagram and YouTube so you can watch it happen. Every ticket — paid or free — has an equal chance.
How will I know if I’ve won?
We’ll contact you using your account details within 7 days of the draw, and announce winners on our social media channels. You can also see your ticket status in My Account → My Tickets.
How do I receive my prize?
Once we have verified you as the winner, we arrange free delivery of your prize to your address in Great Britain — you never pay a delivery charge. Where a cash alternative is offered, it will be of the same value as the prize.
Account
Do I need an account to enter?
You can check out as a guest, but creating an account lets you track your tickets and competition results in My Account → My Tickets.
I forgot my password.
Use the ‘Lost your password?’ link on the login page to reset it by email.
Responsible Play
Do I have to be 18?
Yes. You must be 18 or over to enter. We may carry out age verification checks.
I want to take a break.
We support responsible play. You can request self-exclusion at any time — see our Responsible Play page.
