Vouch runs a free prize draw each calendar month across its participating neighbourhoods. Points are earned by submitting reviews and reflect how useful the review is:
You keep every point you earn. Up to twelve points per person count toward each calendar month's draw. Reviews beyond that still help other diners but do not improve that month's odds.
No purchase or contribution is necessary to enter. You may enter the draw without filing a take, at no cost, with exactly the same odds as any earned entry.
To enter free, send your name, email address and the month you are entering for to draw@vouchfor.uk, or use the form at vouchfor.uk/draw/free-entry. One free entry per person per month. A free entry carries the same weight as one earned draw chance and is included in the same sealed draw list.
The draw takes place on the first day of the following month. The September 2026 launch draw will take place regardless of the number of qualifying takes. From October 2026, if fewer than 200 qualifying takes were filed across Vouch that month, no draw takes place: points carry forward intact and the prize pot compounds into the next month.
For the September 2026 launch draw, one winner receives the full £50 prize. From October 2026, the pot is divided between four winners at 60, 20, 10 and 10 per cent. Prizes are local experiences, such as a meal or bar tab at a participating Vouch place, and are not exchangeable for cash.
The entry ledger is public, including retractions, and the random seed used for each draw is published afterwards so that any result can be independently checked. Winners are announced in the monthly newsletter and on the leaderboard.
Takes must describe a genuine visit. Takes found to be fabricated, written by a venue about itself, or otherwise in breach of these terms are removed, and any points they earned are retracted in the ledger.
A venue may reply publicly to any take about it. A venue cannot have a take removed because it disagrees with it, and paying for a claimed listing confers no ability to remove, suppress, reorder or otherwise influence takes, rankings, categories or awards.
Venue listings are built from the Food Standards Agency food hygiene register under the Open Government Licence, and from OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Database Licence. Receipt images uploaded for verification are stored privately, are never published, and location metadata is stripped from all uploaded photographs before storage.
