Frequently Asked Questions
What fields does a giveaway entry form need?
Name and email are the entry itself. Add an explicit, optional marketing opt-in checkbox if you want to email entrants afterwards, and one channel-attribution question if you are promoting in more than one place. Resist adding more — contest forms live or die on speed.
Can I require entrants to join my newsletter?
Legally it depends on your jurisdiction, and practically it backfires: coerced subscribers unsubscribe or report spam at high rates, which damages deliverability to the subscribers you actually want. Keep the opt-in genuinely optional.
How do I pick and announce a winner?
Export entries as CSV, deduplicate by email, and use any random-row picker. Announce on the promised date, notify the winner directly by email, and never publish full email addresses publicly.
How do I avoid duplicate or fake entries?
The form's built-in protections block bots, and deduplicating by email at draw time handles repeat entries. For high-stakes prizes, verify the winner's identity before shipping.
