Great company and amazing prizes

Beautiful prizes, wonderful people! Also they help the rivers by donating a share of their profits which shows they have an honest mission here. I think this is great 😊

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We noticed you sent us the exact same email and then immediately left this review not giving us the chance to reply which is a shame.

There was no issue with the website page and it's still working great. No, the company has not closed.

Best wishes,

Instagram

I’ve followed your journey on Instagram for years and you do up the most amazing house boats and have done a few vans i remember as well - you and the people you work with, really are talented!

This competition is an amazing opportunity for someone to be in with a shot of winning a boat while giving to a really worthwhile cause! Can’t wait to see the outcome!

Good luck everyone!

The best boat competition you’ll ever find

Really genuine people, and customer service is 11/10! I will always support them as they also give a portion of the profits to help improve the UK rivers, which no one else does. So even if I don’t ever win a competition, my contribution will have a small but positive impact in the planet. Thank you WildRipple for doing this! ♥️

Working with Wild Ripple

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Kate to support her marketing and website build, and I can honestly say that she has an incredible drive and passion for her mission! Kate is truly dedicated to supporting local charities, and it’s so exciting to see a business that makes a positive impact. The competitions she's created are exciting and unique, and I can't wait to watch her journey unfold as Wild Ripple grows. Keep up the amazing work, Kate!

Avoid

I find this company’s practices questionable and doubt they’ll last. Extending competitions when tickets aren’t selling and hiding the ticket counter feel greedy and non-transparent. For instance, they’re selling tickets for a transit van at £8 each, aiming to sell 20,000 tickets – a potential £160,000 payout for a van worth at most £50,000-£60,000. The odds aren’t as good as they claim, and the pricing is misleading. I won’t be using them again.

Dear Shane,

Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, we extended our first competition once to give participants the best possible chance to win the prize or receive a higher cash alternative. This was done in good faith, not out of greed, and has not been repeated. We do not hide ticket counters—entrant details are published, and updates are available upon request. That said, we’ll certainly consider adding a visible ticket counter in future competitions to improve transparency.

Regarding your review, we could not locate any order linked to your name. When asked for more information, no response was provided. We also noticed a suspicious pattern, as your review was posted shortly after another negative review, now linked to a competitor. We are investigating this and hope there’s no connection.

Our process is transparent, and participation is entirely optional. We have no record of you contacting us via email, but you’re always welcome to do so at hello@wildripple.org. Your suggestions are appreciated, and we remain committed to improving our service for all.

Thank you,
Kate & The Wild Ripple Team

This is a new competition company and…

This appears to be a new competition company. There’s little transparency on the quantity of tickets sold (a tickets sold counter would be useful for participants), draws have been extended, when I’ve emailed requesting further information I’ve received no reply. It’s highly unlikely a boat prize will ever be offered as they offer a lower value cash alternative and few tickets have been sold. So I’m paying £10 a ticket for the chance to win a boat but what I’m actually getting is the chance to win a very low value cash prize.

Hi Zoe,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We take all comments seriously and are always looking to improve our service. I apologise that your email has not been responded to as quickly as we strive to respond, we have now responded to your email.

We completely understand your suggestion about adding a ticket counter and agree that this could provide participants with more transparency. We currently publish all entrants so people can see who has entered and we’re actively working on ways to enhance this feature for future competitions.

As a new company, this is our debut competition, and while we did extend the draw date, we made sure to communicate this with all participants beforehand and offered refunds to anyone who wasn’t comfortable with the change. We recognise this isn’t ideal, but our goal was to ensure that every entrant had the best possible chance to win the main prize or the highest possible cash alternative. It seems there might be a misunderstanding in your review, as this is the only time we’ve extended a draw.

At the core of what we do is a strong commitment to supporting charity and our waterways. We truly value your input, as it helps us improve and grow.

Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Best regards,

Kate and The Wild Ripple Team

A total no brainer

I came across Wild Ripple recently and honestly haven’t seen a better concept in a long time. The chance to win the most beautiful house boat whilst also having done a good deed by supporting such an important and relevant cause… it’s a no brainer.

I love the Wild Ripple Competitions!

I love the Wild Ripple draw - I find it much more exciting than other competitors because not only could I win a life-changing prize but the odds are so much better than bigger competition companies!

It’s a little bit of fun each month, plus I know I’m helping charities committed to solving the water pollution in the UK so feels great all round!
