I like Bear Comps, I like the prizes and the fact that a lot of their comps are low odds, so realistically a much better chance of winning! However, I feel like they're not very transparent... See more

Poor Communication

Bought a ticket a couple of hours before the draw. Thought I'd receive an email with the results, even if I didn't win. Never heard a thing !

Hi Tom thanks for your feedback we are considering bringing back auto emails after draws but when we use to do that people complained about too many emails we always post winners straight away and updates on the draws on our socials.

The presentation of the prize are well produced. Range and values of prizes to suit almost everyone. Unfortunately not a winner yet, fingers crossed.

Tried to buy tickets to the Orlando house draw but when trying to pay it would not allow the Apple Pay option and when using PayPal it asked me to add a bank account when I already have one added. Very suspicious and deemed untrustworthy!

Possible scam.

Purchased tickets a few times with these and found that sometimes there isn’t a live draw on their big wins. Then a winner gets announced days later. Also tried entering through their live channels when they do giveaways and nothing gets mentioned about who it is given to. Will not be using again.

Dubious payment details requested

I was going to buy tickets in their Orlando mansion competition but found it very suspicious that they wanted to know my bank details when intending to pay via Paypal, no other compettion site requires this. Hence I wont be entering any of their promotions as dubious.

All payment are handled by third party payment processors to ensure upmost security we would never ask for details of this nature, make sure when you select PayPal you use the pay with PayPal logo and not the create account.

SCAM!!

SCAM!!! Entered the low-odds competition for £10,000 and was waiting for the announcement of the winner at 1:30pm as advertised. There were 420 entries then I noticed that there were two extra entries added at 13:45 (competition closed at 1pm). No live draw and no announcement made on Facebook page or website. Don’t waste your money!

They stolen my money

Yesterday I realised this company has issued and charged me 100 tickets costing 1999.00£. I only purchased one ticket for 19.99. They robbed me and I see the comment that there was no draw for Dubai apartment. Please avoid this site on all cost. Wrote them 2 time no reply so far.

Dubai flat giveaway scam

Dubai flat giveaway, lots of reminders and countdown to a LIVE draw that never came, on review the accounts have fake followers, bot comments and delete yours sharpish mentioning their scam, they've already seen moved onto their next scam promoting the next 'giveaways' how is it that easy for them to get away with this.

Illegally run site!

This site never registers postal votes, meaning that they're operating illegally!

Also if you email them about it they won't respond!

Avoid at all costs!

Suspect site

Suspect site - contacted them via their website three times with a query about my purchase (£19.99) and they just don’t respond. Beware and avoid this competition site!

Never put your postal entries on

Never put your postal entries on, even though you send within plenty of time and are filled out correctly. Also never respond to my emails about them when questioned why they haven't added rickets to my account for them.
