4.0/5Strong
Visit Paragon Competitions →Why we rate it that way
Paragon Competitions is one of the more transparent operators we have checked: every competition shows its ticket cap, tickets sold and per-person limit, entry lists stay online permanently, and winners link to public RandomPicker records. We opened one of those records and it matched the winning number shown on the site. Its player-protection set-up is better than most, with spend limits, account locks of up to a year, permanent self-exclusion and a ban on credit cards, and it holds 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot from around 2,950 reviews with steady recent praise for fast delivery and instant withdrawals. The weak spot is marketing: several one- and two-star reviewers between March and September 2026 said promotional emails or texts kept coming after they unsubscribed or were hard to stop, and some company replies said the critic's account had been closed. That pattern triggers our marketing-complaint cap, so the score sits at 4.0 despite strong fundamentals; if you enter (18+ only), check your marketing preferences when you register.

About Paragon Competitions
Paragon Competitions is run by Paragon Competitions Limited, a company formed in April 2020 and registered at a Manchester business park, and sells entries into tech, LEGO, graded Pokémon card and instant-win competitions. Its main draws are streamed live on Facebook every Monday and Thursday at 8pm using RandomPicker, and DCMS lists it as a signatory of the Voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators.
Is Paragon Competitions legit?
It is run by Paragon Competitions Limited (Companies House 12566533), incorporated in April 2020 with two named directors and filings up to date, and DCMS lists it as a signatory of the Voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators. It publishes ticket caps, entry lists and RandomPicker draw records, sets out a free postal entry route, and holds 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot from around 2,950 reviews. The recurring complaint we found is about marketing messages, not payouts.
Pros
- +Every competition shows its ticket cap, tickets sold and per-person limit, and entry lists stay online permanently after the draw.
- +Live draws every Monday and Thursday at 8pm use RandomPicker, with public draw records linked from the winners page; the one we checked matched.
- +Spend limits, account locks from one week to one year, permanent self-exclusion and no credit-card payments, set out in a published Code of Conduct.
- +4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot from around 2,950 reviews, with recent reviewers describing next-day prize delivery and instant open-banking withdrawals.
Cons
- −Marketing is the recurring complaint: between March and September 2026 several one- and two-star reviewers said emails or texts continued after unsubscribing or were hard to stop, and some company replies said the reviewer's account had been closed.
- −Complaints can only be made through a logged-in form with no independent escalation, support links omit gambling-specific services such as GamCare and BeGambleAware, and unclaimed instant wins convert irreversibly to site credit after five days (cl. 9.11).

Frequently asked questions
Is Paragon Competitions legit?+
Yes. Paragon Competitions is run by Paragon Competitions Limited (Companies House 12566533), incorporated in April 2020, and DCMS lists it as a signatory of the Voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators. It publishes ticket caps, entry lists and RandomPicker draw records, and holds 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot from around 2,950 reviews. Entry is for over-18s. We rate it 4.0 out of 5, held back by a pattern of marketing opt-out complaints.
How does Paragon Competitions pick winners?+
Main draws are streamed live on Paragon's Facebook page every Monday and Thursday at 8pm, and winners are selected with RandomPicker, an independent drawing service; its terms say Google's random number generator is used if RandomPicker is unavailable. Paragon says draws are guaranteed regardless of sales and never extended. Winners on its site link to public RandomPicker records, and the one we checked matched the winning number shown.
Can you enter Paragon Competitions for free?+
Yes. Create an account, then send an unenclosed postcard by Royal Mail to 3000 Aviator Way, Manchester Business Park, Manchester, M22 5TG with your full name, address, account email, date of birth, phone number and the competition name. It is one entry per postcard, it must arrive while the competition is open, and the terms say free entries are treated exactly the same as paid ones. Entry is for over-18s.
Does Paragon Competitions have spending limits?+
Yes. Its Code of Conduct says you can set daily, weekly, monthly or annual spending limits, lock your account for one week, four weeks, 12 weeks or a year, or self-exclude permanently from the account area, and that credit cards are not accepted. The site signposts Citizens Advice, Money Advice Trust, National Debtline, Samaritans and Mind.
Why is PrizeDrawsDaily's rating different from Paragon Competitions' Trustpilot score?+
Trustpilot averages star ratings; we score the risk to you. Paragon earns 77 out of 100 on our seven factors, which would be 4.5, but our method caps any operator with a recent pattern of marketing opt-out complaints at 4.0, and several reviewers between March and September 2026 said messages continued after unsubscribing. Its 4.7 Trustpilot score reflects genuinely good prize and payout experiences; our 4.0 reflects that one unresolved risk.
In their own words
“Manchester-based prize competition site for tech, LEGO, graded Pokémon cards and instant wins, with twice-weekly live RandomPicker draws and published ticket caps.”
Trust Notes
PDD Trust Score 4.0/5 · Trustpilot 4.7. We score risk to you, not the star average. What earns the score: Paragon publishes the ticket cap, sold count and per-person limit on every competition, keeps entry lists online permanently and links winners to public RandomPicker records; we opened one and it matched the winning number on its site. It is a DCMS Voluntary Code signatory with spend limits, account locks of up to a year, permanent self-exclusion and no credit cards, a published complaints procedure with timescales, and an active company dating from April 2020 with two named directors. What holds it back: several one- and two-star Trustpilot reviews between March and September 2026 say marketing emails or texts continued after unsubscribing or were hard to stop, and some company replies say the reviewer's account was closed. That pattern triggers our marketing-complaint cap, so a 77/100 score that would otherwise be 4.5 is held at 4.0. Complaints go only through a logged-in form with no independent escalation, and its support links omit gambling-specific services. Checked 11 October 2026.
