How Online Sweepstakes Work

A sweepstakes is a chance-based promotion where eligible entrants have the opportunity to win a prize. Reputable promotions publish Official Rules that define eligibility, entry period, how winners are chosen, odds of winning, prize description and value, and how to claim prizes. Legitimate promotions never require unlawful fees to receive a prize.

Checklist for Legitimate Promotions

Clear Official Rules and promoter identity.
Eligibility requirements (age, location) and entry limits per person/device.
Disclosure of prize value and how winners are selected and notified.
No claim that “everyone wins”; no guaranteed outcomes.
Simple opt-out and transparent data handling.

Responsible Participation Tips

Set a personal limit on daily entries and notifications.
Use strong passwords and never share verification codes.
Only submit accurate, honest information.
Report suspicious requests for payment or sensitive data.
