Giveaway Rules That Keep You Safe
State the prize, entry method, deadline, and winner announcement upfront in the caption. Require the entry keyword as a comment, never demand shares to personal timelines (against platform norms), and announce winners publicly plus by DM. Clear rules prevent disputes and keep the automation compliant.
Entry Keywords and Follow-Gate Setup
- Pick one entry keyword like GIVEAWAY or WIN and put it in the first line of the caption.
- Confirm entries instantly with a DM: "You're in! Winners announced [date] here in DMs."
- Add the follow-gate so the entry link arrives after the follow: growth plus leads in one mechanic.
- Bonus entries for tags: each tagged friend who comments multiplies reach without extra prizes.
Copy-paste entry scripts live in our DM templates library.
Winner Picking and DM Scripts
Export or paste all entry comments into our free winner picker tool: duplicates filtered, transparent draw, copyable results. DM the winner privately first with a 48-hour claim window, then announce publicly. Silence from the winner means redraw from the same pool, never a random new pick.
Turn Entrants Into Buyers
One winner gets the prize; hundreds proved purchase intent. DM every non-winner a consolation code automatically: "No win this time, 15% off for entering: [link]." Giveaway entrants convert at multiples of cold traffic because they already raised their hands.
