Ticket £0.19Why we rate it that way
The main weakness here is proof of draws, and it shows in the reviews. Six one and two star reviewers since November 2025 question whether draws or instant wins are fair, one of them could not open the advertised Audi RS6 stream, and the company answered only one of the six. The site itself carries no evidence either way: the Draws and Winners pages hold no video, ticket number or winner name, and footage lives on Facebook. Payment is the stronger side. Across the 33 critical reviews back to July 2021, no one reports a missing prize, and July 2026 winners describe cash arriving the day after verification. The business has a long paper trail: RKINGSCOMPETITIONS LTD (NI656489), incorporated in October 2018, has filed accounts to 31 December 2025, its terms quote the same number, and Golden Matrix Group, listed on Nasdaq, took an 80 per cent stake in November 2021 and says it tightened accounting controls afterwards. Ticket sales are shown against each cap, about 1,180 wins are listed since 2023, postal entry sits in the terms, and a monthly spend limit is available. Several instant-win games run to caps of 199,999 to 499,999 tickets, and one April 2026 reviewer describes heavy spending for low-value wins. Before you buy, check that the Facebook stream for a draw works, and keep instant-win spending small.

About R Kings Competitions
R Kings Competitions runs from Bessbrook, near Newry in Northern Ireland, and sells tickets from 16p to £19.99 on cars such as a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR or £100,000, alongside phones, TVs and a steady run of instant-win cash games. Entry is open to UK and Irish residents aged 18 or over. The company behind it was incorporated in 2018 and belongs to Golden Matrix Group, a Nasdaq-listed parent. Trustpilot gives it 4.7 from about 250 reviews (October 2026). Reviewers raise doubts about how draws are shown, and no critical review PDD read, 33 in all, reports an unpaid prize.
Is R Kings Competitions legit?
The promoter, company number NI656489, was incorporated on 19 October 2018 and remains on the register with accounts filed to the end of 2025. An ASA rulings search on 30 October 2026 returned nothing. The open question is transparency: winners are listed with a prize, date and ticket price but no name, ticket number or recording, and draws are streamed on Facebook rather than shown on the site, which is why fairness is the complaint that keeps coming back.
Pros
- +Payment record: 84 per cent of Trustpilot reviews are five star, none of the 33 critical ones claims an unpaid prize, and July 2026 winners report money in the bank the day after verification.
- +A company with a track record: the Northern Ireland promoter dates from October 2018, is current with its filings, and Golden Matrix Group, listed on Nasdaq, has held a controlling stake since November 2021.
- +Every listing shows tickets sold against a published cap, for example 22,327 of 54,999 on the Skyline and 144 of 199 on the iPhone Duo, and the winners page lists around 1,180 wins since 2023 with the prize, the date and the ticket price it was won for.
- +Spending controls with teeth: a monthly limit that blocks purchases once reached, breaks of 24 hours to 30 days, a longer freeze, permanent closure and helpline numbers, plus a free postal route in clause 3.11 of the terms.
Cons
- −Draw fairness is the recurring complaint: six one and two star reviews in the past 12 months question the fairness of draws or instant wins, among them a 20 October 2026 reviewer who could not open the advertised Audi RS6 stream, and the company replied to one of the six.
- −Nothing on the site itself proves a draw: the Winners page shows no names, ticket numbers or videos, the Draws page lists dates only, and the home page says draws livestream on Facebook, so a result cannot be checked on the site.
- −Several instant-win cash competitions with caps of 199,999 to 499,999 tickets fill the home page, one April 2026 reviewer describes spending heavily for low-value instant wins, and per-person limits are set draw by draw rather than fixed in the terms.
- −Trustpilot records replies to 16 per cent of negative reviews, the complaints route ends with an internal senior-manager review and names no outside body, and between 2021 and 2023 at least seven reviewers said free postcard entries were not counted (none over the last year).

Frequently asked questions
Is R Kings Competitions legit?+
It looks sound on payment and paperwork. The promoter has been registered since October 2018 with filings up to date, PDD found no ASA ruling in a 30 October 2026 search, the parent is Nasdaq-listed Golden Matrix Group, and no critical Trustpilot review says a prize went unpaid. The weak point is draw fairness: six recent reviewers doubt the draws, and with results and footage kept off the site those doubts cannot be settled from the website alone.
How do R Kings Competitions draws work?+
You pick a ticket count at the listed price, from 16p to £19.99, and the page counts tickets sold toward the cap. Main draws close at 11pm on the stated date, the terms allow a random draw within seven days of closing, the FAQ says a random number generator picks the ticket, and the home page tells entrants to wait for the livestream on Facebook. Instant wins give each paid entry a number, and a match with a published instant-win number wins that prize on the spot. Winners are contacted by phone or email within seven days and have 14 days to claim.
Can you enter R Kings Competitions for free?+
Post a handwritten entry, first or second class, to Unit B, Mill Road, Newry, County Down, BT35 7DT, with the contact details listed in clause 3.11 of the terms. Each free entry goes in its own envelope, bulk envelopes count as one, receipt is not acknowledged, and the entry must arrive before the closing date. Where a ticket costs less than a second-class stamp the terms give several free entries per envelope. Between 2021 and 2023 several reviewers said their postcards were never entered; no such complaint has appeared over the last year.
How fast does R Kings Competitions pay out?+
Reviewers in July 2026 describe cash in the bank the day after account verification, a phone received within a day in September 2026 and an iPhone delivered promptly later that month. The terms require bank account evidence within 14 days of a cash win, and cash alternatives are stated in each prize description, so a £100,000 or Skyline listing means the winner chooses. A 2023 reviewer who took a £9,000 cash alternative on a car was told to allow five to ten days.
Is R Kings Competitions gambling?+
It runs prize competitions with a free postal route, open to UK and Republic of Ireland residents aged 18 or over, with a GamCare link in the footer. Money still buys a chance, and the instant-win cash games have six-figure ticket caps, so set the monthly spend limit before you buy.

Trust Notes
PDD Trust Score 4.4/5 · Trustpilot 4.7. Strengths: RKINGSCOMPETITIONS LTD (NI656489) is active, incorporated 19 October 2018, with accounts to 31 December 2025 and a confirmation statement from November 2025; the terms quote the same number, and the parent since November 2021 is Golden Matrix Group. Tickets sold are shown against a published cap, the winners page holds about 1,180 entries back to 2023, free postal entry is in the terms, the Playing Responsibly page gives a monthly spend limit, breaks, a temporary freeze and permanent closure with helpline links, and no critical Trustpilot review since July 2021 alleges a missing or late prize. What holds the score down: draw results and footage are not on the site, with streams on Facebook only; six reviews in the past 12 months doubt the fairness of draws or instant wins and one got a reply; Trustpilot shows replies to 16 per cent of negative reviews; instant-win caps run to 499,999 tickets with per-person limits set per draw; the complaints procedure ends internally; seven 2021 to 2023 reviews said postal entries were not counted; and 253 reviews is a small base for a company whose parent's 2021 press release cited more than US$54 million in prizes over 2020 and 2021 (internal, unaudited figures). Checked 30 October 2026.
