Preferred solution: Apology
Omaze is a scam
Should have read the comments here before participating, but had a similar experience as the rest of the people here.
It appears their all winners are fabricated. Try to search for any people who had the experience with their advertised contests, twitter, reddit anywhere, there's 2 people in entire internet who has talked about their experience out of thousands contests they do every year.
All their winners look the same, mostly middle aged men, few older women, have the same professional "happiness" when told, and then have a blurb about celebrity they won with something vaguely relating why would they be interested in it. You search for those names in celebrity's followers list and they don't exist, there's no social media from them, no one has ever tweeted omg i won omaze contest, no established real people social media accounts in thise age of day for ANY contests?
they make up winners, real fans, real people who actually donated never win. Do not bother wasting money on this sham.
- Idea of winning

Con-artists
I enter Omaze and a number of similar sites (including the national lottery).
I've been subscribed to Omaze for over a year. Only now have I realised that they have an option to register and 'manage' your account through their platform.
Upon doing so, I realised that I had actually won a small cash prize about 5 months prior; however, they only give you 2 months to claim the prize and then it 'expires'. I spoke to their support on Facebook who said you have to check it every month or you risk losing it.
This is not made clear on the site or in the emails.
Absolute con.
Cancelled and now using the money on lottery tickets. At least they actually pay you when you win.
- Will take your money quickly
- Wont pay you if you win
User's recommendation: Buy lottery tickets instead.

Ive tried emailing multiple times with no response.
I cant afford to lose £45. Customer service is non existent so Im trying the Gambling Commission instead

Took my money but didn't supply tickets on special offer ending Sunday. No reply to multiple emails.
No. I feel they cannot be trusted.
I am not aware of another company doing this sort of draw, where they take your money but do not offer the purchased tickets so you are not put in the draw. Reeks of scamming.
Paid £35.00 for a special offer. They have taken the money from my bank but no tickets were issued and no receipt was issued, nor was an entry code.
I tried multiple emails but there was no reply. There is no apparent phone number or other way to contact them. The offer ends in 3 days' time. Where are my tickets?
I have contributed several times now, but I don't trust them now.
Omaze, please send me my tickets or refund my money. I am disappointed that you have made no effort to resolve the problems.

Need to cancel my subscription
Good morning, I am afraid that I am going to have to cancel my subscription to Omaze as I can no longer afford to pay £20 per month.
I am having to make savings where I can, as the constraints on my income are becoming very difficult.
I hope you can help in this matter, thank you.

I cannot rate. I needed telephone assistance. No one to speak when I called. Why?
I have given you both my UK telephone number and my email address. This allowed me to call your UK number.
I received a voice message recording asking if I wished to make a donation.
Then there was a goodbye. I needed to speak and join the Omaze competition with help from a service provider.
User's recommendation: I do not give recommendations as I have not yet received assistance or advice from Omaze

I am greatly concerned about hidden truth about how may people buys the ticket? no transparencies. They are not publishing the winners details.
I totally agree myself and 2 other friends bought tickets after waiting for a long time to then here they closed the draw due to not enough ticket sales but none of us received our tickets money back.
I'm just curious to know how the winners are photographed celebrating in the property just hours after the supposed draw takes place?
Yes. And also how more than one set of people seem to win the same house .....
Ofc it is for guys who invest bunch of money in it. Would be hilarious if not, loo

My sister just won a prize w them worth 110 k. I can’t speak to other prizes but would be odd if she the only winner
