My Entry Has Been Marked As Spam On SweepWidget. How Do I Fix It?

For Contest Participants:

Entry Marked as Spam

I’m try to enter a sweepstakes but keep getting marked as spam. This entry has been flagged by our anti-spam system. (31)”:

If you are getting marked as spam while trying to enter a contest/giveaway/sweepstakes, please do the following:

  • Disable VPN: If you’re using a VPN, disable it and try again.
  • Use a common email provider: Try entering with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or another major email provider instead of disposable or uncommon email domains.
  • Contact the contest host: Ask them to whitelist your email address in the Manage Entries section.
  • Try entering on a different browser or different device altogether.

Cannot Complete Entry Method

  • Social media verification: Make sure you’ve actually completed the action (followed, liked, etc.) before clicking confirm.
  • Username format: Enter your username without the @ symbol unless specifically requested.
  • Public profile: For verification to work, your social media profile must be public.

Already Entered Error

This occurs when your email or IP address has already been used to enter. If you’re on shared WiFi, another user may have entered from the same IP. Contact the contest host if you believe this is an error.

Why does it say my email is “disqualified”?

Your email may be flagged due to:

  • Previous suspicious activity
  • VPN/proxy usage
  • Being on a blocklist from a previous giveaway

Contact the giveaway organizer to be whitelisted.
