OLBG Prizes is giving away one of the best racing hospitality packages on offer this season: a pair of Platinum Suite tickets to Cheltenham Festival’s Champion Day on 16 March 2027. And the entry? Completely free.

What You Get

This isn’t a standard raceday ticket. We’re talking the full VIP treatment. Winners and their guest skip the queue and walk straight into the Platinum Suite, car parking’s taken care of, there’s a morning Bucks Fizz reception, and a celebrity tipster goes through the card before the first race. Then comes a proper four-course lunch followed by afternoon tea, plus a complimentary bar all day long (Champagne doesn’t count, mind you). The package is valued at over £1,200.

It’s the difference between watching Cheltenham on the telly and actually feeling why this day matters in jump racing. Champion Day opens the four-day festival with the Grade 1 Champion Hurdle, and that Cheltenham Roar when the tapes go up? You’ve got to hear it live to understand it.

How to Enter

Dead simple, and genuinely free. Register online or post your entry (though you’ll need to set your details up online first). Ticket numbers get allocated at random, and you’ll get an email confirmation straight away.

There’s a caveat, though nothing too painful: only 2,000 entries are available across the whole draw, and it closes on 31 October 2026 or when places run out, whichever comes first. UK residents aged 18 and over only, and OLBG reserves the right to verify age, identity and residence before handing over the prize.

Why This Matters

Ever wondered what top-tier hospitality at Cheltenham actually looks like? Here’s your answer. No entry fee, decent odds on winning something worth real money, and a day that genuinely lives up to the hype. This isn’t the sort of thing free prize draws offer up very often.

What the team thinks

SHEENA McALLISTER: Carl’s piece highlights a shrewd promotional mechanism that OLBG Prizes has structured carefully within UKGC guidelines, but I’d want to see the full T&Cs to confirm they’re meeting all transparency requirements around the “free entry” claim and any subsequent wagering obligations.

BAZ HARTLEY: That’s exactly right, Sheena. The “absolutely nothing” angle sounds brilliant on the surface, but we’ve all seen how free entries can funnel players into the ecosystem. I’d be asking, does winning this ticket obligate you to open an account, and if so, are there hidden wagering requirements attached to future bonuses?

SHEENA McALLISTER: Good point, Baz. From a compliance angle, OLBG needs to ensure they’re not using this as a loss leader that creates misleading expectations about the value proposition elsewhere on their platform. The hospitality prize itself is legitimate and generous, but the marketing context matters legally.

BAZ HARTLEY: Agreed. If this is genuinely a no-strings promotion with clear eligibility criteria and no subsequent account activation required, then Carl’s right to highlight it as a standout offer. But readers deserve to know upfront whether entering means they’re committing to anything downstream.
