What you call a giveaway, the law calls a sweepstakes.
Official rules. State filings. 1099s. Every time.
A $500 gift card giveaway and a national promotion live under the same regulatory framework: official rules, free entry, state registration thresholds. Most giveaway tools skip all of it. That’s not your problem. Until it is.
One entrant. Six emails. Most tools never notice.
Cleared cookies. Incognito tab. Gmail dot trick. When your winner list is full of the same person, the promotion you ran to build goodwill becomes a refund-and-apologize exercise. You can’t fix it with a CAPTCHA.
Your last sweepstakes took six vendors.
Rules lawyer. Registration service. Bonding broker. Fulfillment house. 1099 filer. Winner verifier. Every promotion becomes a six-month project. Your next one shouldn’t.
Everything a sweepstakes needs, in one place.
What used to take six vendors now takes one login.
