Supporting South Wales Through Practical Prizes
Founded in Cardiff by locals who understand the region's needs, SAPrize is committed to making a difference in our community.
Our Mission
To provide South Wales residents with opportunities to win practical, life-improving prizes through affordable, transparent competitions.
Transparency
All our competitions are conducted with complete transparency. We livestream every draw on social media and publish the results immediately.
Community Focus
We're proudly Welsh and exclusively serve the South Wales community. Our prizes are selected to address real local needs and support local businesses.
Affordability
We believe everyone deserves a chance to win, which is why our entry prices start at just 50p. We never push participants to spend beyond their means.
2023
SAPrize was founded in Cardiff by three friends who wanted to create a competition platform that actually helped people with everyday costs.
January 2024
We secured our Gambling Commission license and launched our first three competitions, focused on energy-saving appliances.
March 2024
Celebrated our 100th winner from Swansea and expanded our prize range to include grocery vouchers and fuel credits.
Present Day
We're proud to have awarded over £50,000 in practical prizes to South Wales residents and are continuously looking for ways to give back to our community.
Our Journey
SAPrize began with a simple question: "Why are most competition prizes luxury items when what people really need is help with day-to-day expenses?"
In late 2023, amid rising energy costs and inflation affecting South Wales families, three friends from Cardiff decided to create a different kind of competition platform—one focused on practical prizes that make a real difference in people's lives.
Today, SAPrize has grown into a trusted community resource, helping hundreds of winners reduce their living costs through energy-efficient appliances, utility bill payments, grocery vouchers, and other practical prizes.
