How does a giveaway across multiple posts work?
You include several posts in the same giveaway, so entries from those posts contribute to a shared draw. Your announcement should make clear whether commenting on any included post is enough or whether your campaign has additional entry conditions.
| Campaign element | What to explain |
|---|---|
| Included posts | Identify every post that belongs to the giveaway. |
| Entry requirement | State what someone must do to enter. |
| Repeat participation | Explain whether extra comments affect eligibility or chances. |
| Closing point | Give a clear deadline and time zone. |
| Prize | Describe what the selected winner receives. |
For example, a launch announcement and a product demonstration could both invite entries for the same prize. Make that connection explicit in each caption, so readers understand they are joining a shared giveaway.
What should you check before combining entries?
Check that your published rules match the entry handling available in the tool. Combining posts does not, by itself, establish how duplicate accounts, repeated comments or participation across different platforms are handled.
Before opening entries:
- List the posts you intend to include.
- Decide how repeat comments should count.
- Check whether the available settings support that decision.
- Explain your chosen approach consistently across the campaign.
- Confirm the supported platform combination before promising a shared draw across platforms.
For example, if your rules allow only a single entry per person, confirm how you will enforce that condition. Do not assume that combining posts automatically removes duplicate participants.
Can likes and story shares be verified?
Likes and story shares are not verified by this tool. Avoid presenting either action as an automatically checked entry condition.
Keep the participation instructions focused on actions you can assess through the chosen giveaway workflow.
| Suggested wording | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| “Comment on an included giveaway post to enter.” | Makes the entry route clear. |
| “Read the caption for the campaign’s entry rules.” | Gives participants a consistent reference. |
| “Likes and story shares are not checked by the tool.” | Sets an accurate expectation. |
For example, you can invite readers to share the campaign for visibility, but do not imply that the tool will confirm those shares.
How can participants verify the result?
The participant list is locked, and selection uses drand randomness announced in advance. Anyone can recalculate the result in their browser and check the selection.
This makes the selection process checkable, although it does not establish whether your entry rules were appropriate or correctly applied.
For a clear participant explanation:
- Describe which entries belong in the draw.
- Explain that the participant list is locked before selection.
- State that the result uses the previously announced randomness.
- Explain that participants can independently recalculate the outcome.
Frequently asked questions
A shared draw needs clear entry rules and a checkable selection process. These answers cover common questions before you prepare your campaign.
How many posts can I combine?
You can combine up to 10 posts. Confirm that your intended posts and platform combination are supported before announcing the campaign.
Do I need to share my social media password?
The service does not ask for your password and uses the platform's own sign-in screen. Use that sign-in process when connecting an account.
Does verification prove every entry was eligible?
Recalculating the result lets someone check the selection from the locked participant list. Eligibility still depends on your published rules and how those rules were applied.
