About ByteStack

Building the future
of competitions

ByteStack is a software company specialising in creating prize and raffle competition systems for the UK market. We provide the technology, compliance framework, and tools that businesses need to run competitions at scale.

Our mission

The UK prize competition market is growing rapidly, but the regulatory landscape is complex and evolving. We believe that businesses and charities should be able to run prize draws without needing to become legal experts or build custom technology.

ByteStack provides two solutions: a complete competition website platform for those building dedicated competition businesses, and a plugin system for brands and charities who want to add competitions to their existing websites.

Both are built around the UK Government's voluntary code of good practice for prize draw operators — making ByteStack one of the first platforms to align with this framework from the ground up.

What we do

  • 01Build competition website systems for people who want to run their own competition business
  • 02Provide a plugin that lets existing businesses and charities run competitions on their own website
  • 03Handle the full compliance, payments, and draw management stack so our clients can focus on prizes and promotion

Our principles

What drives us

Compliance First

We built our entire platform around the UK Government's voluntary code of good practice for prize draw operators. Compliance isn't an afterthought — it's our foundation.

Conversion Focused

Every feature is designed with conversion in mind. From optimised checkout flows to urgency tools and marketing integrations — we help you sell more tickets.

Simplicity at Scale

Running competitions shouldn't require a development team. We handle the complexity of payments, compliance, and infrastructure so you can focus on growth.

UK Market Expertise

We're purpose-built for the UK regulatory environment. We monitor evolving prize competition legislation and update our platform to keep you compliant.

Partner Success

Your success is our success. Our team works directly with you from onboarding through to scaling — providing guidance, support, and strategic insight.

Trust & Transparency

Trust is the currency of the competition industry. We build tools that help you publish winners, audit draws, and demonstrate integrity at every step.

Built around the government code

ByteStack has built its systems around the UK Government's voluntary code of good practice for prize draw operators. This is a relatively new framework, and we've developed our platform to align with it from the start.
