View Advanced Entry Method Options

The Advanced Options section in the Entry Methods tab gives you additional control over how participants interact with your giveaway. These options let you redirect users after completion, customize terminology, and control the entry flow.

How to Access Advanced Options

Create or edit a giveaway
Click on the Entry Methods tab
Scroll down below your entry methods to find the Advanced options section

Available Advanced Options

1. Redirect URL After Completion

Plan Required: Pro or higher

Automatically redirect participants to a specific URL after they’ve completed all entry methods. This is useful for:

Sending users to a thank you page
Redirecting to your store or product page
Directing participants to additional content or offers
Sending users to a survey or feedback form

How to use:

Enter the full URL in the text field (must include https://)
When participants complete all available entry methods, they’ll be automatically redirected

Important: This feature does not work if you’re using the “Refer-A-Friend” entry method. The viral sharing feature requires users to stay on the giveaway page to share their referral link, so automatic redirection is disabled when this entry method is active.

2. Custom Entry Terminology (Entries, Points, or Custom)

Plan Required: Pro or higher

By default, participants earn “Entries” for completing actions. You can change this to match your brand or campaign style.

Available options:

Entries (default) – Participants earn “1 Entry”, “5 Entries”, etc.
Points – Participants earn “1 Point”, “5 Points”, etc.
Something custom… – Define your own terminology

Using custom terminology:

When you select “Something custom…”, two additional fields appear:

Singular version – What participants earn for 1 (e.g., “Ticket”, “Coin”, “Star”)
Plural version – What participants earn for multiple (e.g., “Tickets”, “Coins”, “Stars”)

Examples of custom terminology:

Singular	Plural	Display Example
Ticket	Tickets	“You earned 5 Tickets!”
Coin	Coins	“You earned 10 Coins!”
Star	Stars	“You earned 3 Stars!”
Chance	Chances	“You earned 1 Chance!”
Token	Tokens	“You earned 25 Tokens!”

This terminology will appear throughout the giveaway widget wherever entry counts are displayed.

3. Sequential Entry Order

Plan Required: Business or higher

Force participants to complete entry methods in a specific sequence. When enabled, users must complete entry method #1 before they can access entry method #2, and so on.

How to enable:

Check the box: “Require participants to complete the entry methods in the order you have above”
Arrange your entry methods in the desired order using drag-and-drop
Save your giveaway

Use cases:

Lead generation funnel – Ensure users subscribe to your newsletter before unlocking social follow actions
Step-by-step engagement – Guide users through a specific journey (e.g., “Visit our website” → “Read the article” → “Answer a question”)
Mandatory first action – Make sure everyone completes a critical action (like joining your Discord) before accessing bonus entries
Progressive disclosure – Reveal additional entry methods as rewards for completing earlier ones

How it works for participants:

Entry methods they can’t access yet will appear locked/greyed out
After completing an entry method, the next one becomes available
Participants can see all entry methods but can only interact with unlocked ones

Plan Requirements Summary

Feature	Required Plan
Redirect URL after completion	Pro
Custom entry terminology	Pro
Sequential entry order	Business

Tips for Using Advanced Options

Test your redirect URL – Make sure the destination page loads correctly before launching
Keep custom terminology simple – Use familiar words that participants will understand
Order matters for sequential mode – Put your most important entry method first since everyone must complete it
Don’t combine redirect with Refer-A-Friend – Choose one or the other for your campaign
Consider the user experience – Sequential mode can reduce completion rates, so use it strategically
