Rev Comps Review: Where Does the Money Go?

What is Rev Comps and is it legitimate?

Rev Comps is one of the more established UK car competition sites, trading since 2019 as a family business now based in Devon. Its current terms and conditions name the promoter of all competitions as Rev Competitions Limited, a company incorporated in Gibraltar under number 126588, registered office Madison Building, Midtown, Gibraltar (revcomps.com/terms-conditions, checked July 2026). A separate, UK-registered company, Rev Corp Ltd, also exists at Companies House under number 11981806 (incorporated 7 May 2019, registered office Shurdington Road, Cheltenham, status active, SIC codes covering motor vehicle sales and gambling and betting activities — find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk, checked July 2026). Entrants dealing with Rev Comps today are contracting with the Gibraltar entity, not the Cheltenham one, so it is worth reading the T&Cs footer of any competition site rather than assuming the operating company from an old review.

Each competition offers a fixed number of tickets at a set price, and you answer a simple skill-based question before buying — the standard legal route that classifies these as prize competitions rather than gambling; Rev Comps’ own T&Cs state its activity “falls outside the scope of the Gibraltar Gambling Act 2025”. Prizes centre on cars, with cash and tech draws alongside, and the company runs free competitions for credit and prizes dropped at random through the week.

Rev Comps carries an “Excellent” rating on Trustpilot from several thousand reviews as of July 2026, with reviewers most often citing transparency about odds and fast prize handover. We found no published Advertising Standards Authority ruling against Rev Comps on asa.org.uk as of July 2026.

What does Rev Comps give to charity?

Rev Comps does give to charity, and it is one of its selling points: the company’s own charity page states, dated 9 July 2026, total donations of £1,220,862, and describes the model as donating “a portion of profits from each competition” plus one-off fundraising events (revcomps.com/charity, checked July 2026). The page lists individual named recipients and sums — including £120,000 for a 2025 children’s toy appeal, £82,850 for Rowcroft Hospice, and £25,000 for the National Autistic Society — which makes this one of the more independently checkable giving records among the operators we cover, since specific causes and amounts are named rather than only a running total.

As with every operator here, the honest caveat is transparency of the mechanism. Rev Comps describes the donation as “a portion of profits” rather than a fixed percentage of each entry, and there is no guaranteed minimum per draw. “A portion of profits” is a softer, less measurable commitment than a stated share of revenue — profit is what’s left after costs, and the operator decides it. So while the cumulative total and the named recipients are genuine and dated, you can’t tell from any single entry how much of your money reaches a cause.

How do entries and prices work?

Rev Comps sets a fixed ticket price and ticket cap per competition, with paid entries confirmed once payment clears. Its free postal entry route is genuine and is set out in the T&Cs: send an unenclosed postcard with your account and competition details to Rev Competitions Limited’s PO Box in Torquay, at least 24 hours before the draw, and it carries the same odds as a paid ticket. Winners are drawn using a ball-spinning machine, live-streamed on Facebook, or a random number generator if the machine is unavailable.

Rev Comps is popular and pays out, but it is worth being clear-eyed about long-standing criticisms from the comping community: some reviewers say the free postal route is not signposted as prominently as the paid route, and that the operator’s mixed skill-question-plus-free-draw model sits awkwardly between the two legal categories used to justify prize competitions. Questions have also been raised about the transparency of how its automated “auto draws” are conducted. None of this means winners aren’t real — Rev Comps publishes winners and a dated, itemised charity total — but it does mean you should locate the free-entry route yourself, read the draw terms, and keep spending modest.

How do the odds/value compare?

Rev Comps sits in the middle. It gives more visibly than operators with no charity model at all, and its itemised, dated £1,220,862 total is a genuine point in its favour — you can check named recipients on its own charity page rather than relying on a single unverifiable headline figure. But “a portion of profits” is less transparent and less measurable than a published revenue percentage, and it is nowhere near a charity-first model like Omaze’s guaranteed £1 million per house draw, or a licensed society lottery such as People’s Postcode Lottery, which commits a minimum 30% of ticket revenue to good causes by rule. For pure charitable impact, a licensed lottery or a direct donation with Gift Aid does more per pound.

The Give2Charity verdict on Rev Comps

• Is it legitimate? Yes — a long-running, well-reviewed operator, currently promoted by Rev Competitions Limited (Gibraltar 126588), with published winners.
• Does it give to charity? Yes — £1,220,862 as of 9 July 2026, but as “a portion of profits”, not a fixed per-entry share.
• Is it transparent? Partly — the charity total is itemised and dated, but the free route’s prominence and auto-draw process have drawn criticism, and the promoting entity has changed from the UK company to a Gibraltar one.
• How does it compare? A middling charity record — better than operators that give nothing, well behind a licensed lottery or direct donation.
