Instant win prizes are rewards you can win immediately when entering a competition, without waiting for a draw. When you purchase tickets for a competition, you may also reveal an instant prize - like scratching a scratchcard. You know instantly if you've won something, separate from the main competition prize.

When you enter a competition, some tickets come with hidden instant prizes. After purchase, you can reveal whether your tickets contain instant wins. Prizes are pre-determined by a certified random system - your action just reveals what was already assigned to that ticket. It's like a digital scratchcard experience.

Instant prizes range from small cash amounts (£1-£10), free tickets for future competitions, wallet credits, and occasionally larger prizes like £50-£100 cash or high-value items. The prize pool varies by competition and is displayed before you enter.

Yes, completely separate. Winning an instant prize doesn't affect your chances in the main competition draw. You keep your tickets for the main draw AND get to keep any instant prizes you reveal. It's two chances to win from one entry.

No, instant prizes are a bonus feature on selected competitions. Competitions with instant prizes are clearly marked with an 'Instant Win' badge. Check the competition details to see if instant prizes are included and what the prize pool contains.

Cash instant prizes are credited to your RaffleRays wallet immediately after you reveal them. Free ticket prizes appear in your account instantly. Physical instant prizes (rare) follow our standard delivery process. There's no waiting period for digital prizes.

Odds vary by competition and are disclosed in the terms. Typically, 1 in 10 to 1 in 50 tickets contain an instant prize. The exact odds and prize distribution are set before the competition starts and cannot be changed.

You can delay revealing your instant prize, but the prize (if any) is already determined at purchase. Some players like the excitement of revealing immediately; others wait. The result won't change either way - it's just about when you want to know.

They're similar in experience but different legally. Physical scratchcards are classified as gambling and regulated by the Gambling Commission. Our instant reveals are part of a prize competition structure and work alongside our skill-based question system.

You keep both! Instant prizes and main draw prizes are completely independent. If you're lucky enough to win an instant prize and then be selected in the main draw, you receive both prizes. There's no either/or - it's a genuine double win.
