Built for Sweepstakes That Follow the Rules
SweepWidget gives brands the controls they need to run giveaways, contests, and sweepstakes in compliance with applicable laws: official rules, eligibility restrictions, entrant verification, fair random drawings, and participant privacy tooling. You decide the terms of your promotion. We give you the tools to publish and enforce them.
Compliance Tools Built Into Every Giveaway
Official Rules Generator
Create a sweepstakes rules template covering eligibility, entry period, prizes and approximate retail value, odds, winner selection, sponsor identity, privacy, and the standard no purchase necessary statement. Edit it freely and display it inside your giveaway.
Eligibility by Location
Allow or block entries by country, and by state or province where supported, so a promotion only runs where you are permitted to offer it. Restrictions are enforced when participants enter, not just displayed.
Age Restrictions
Set a minimum or maximum age and require participants to confirm their date of birth before they can enter your giveaway.
Consent and Acknowledgment
Add required checkboxes for terms acceptance and privacy notices, show participants a cookie consent form, or collect a drawn e-signature for waivers and releases.
Verified Participants
Require an email or SMS verification code before an entry counts, so every participant on your list is reachable when it is time to award prizes.
Fraud and Bot Protection
Choose an anti-spam level from Weak to Strict, block duplicate IP addresses and VPN traffic, filter disposable email providers, and keep automated entries out of your drawing.
Fair, Recorded Winner Selection
Winners are chosen by a random drawing weighted by valid entries. Disqualified participants are excluded automatically, drawings can be limited to verified entrants or eligible countries, and every selection is recorded with a timestamp.
Participant Data Controls
Export participant, entry, and winner data at any time. Participants can request deletion of their data, and you can delete a giveaway's data or your entire account when a campaign is over.
Platform Disclaimers and Localization
Generated rules include the standard statement that the promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Facebook, Twitter (X), YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or Google, and your giveaway can run in any of 103 languages so rules are readable where your entrants live.
Some tools are available on eligible paid plans. See pricing for details.
From Official Rules to Awarded Prizes
A compliant promotion needs clear rules, a fair entry path, eligible participants, and a defensible record of how winners were chosen. SweepWidget covers each step inside the giveaway builder and the manage entries dashboard.
- Publish official rules alongside the entry form, including a free method of entry such as visiting a page or referring a friend.
- Restrict who can enter by location and age, and verify participants by email or SMS where the stakes call for it.
- Keep automated and duplicate entries out with layered fraud protection that runs on every login.
- Draw winners randomly, weighted by valid entries, then contact them and record the outcome from one screen.
- Export or delete participant data when the promotion ends, and honor participant deletion requests.
Your responsibility
SweepWidget is a software platform, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. Sweepstakes, contest, and lottery laws differ by country, state, and province, and some promotions require registration, bonding, or specific disclosures.
You are responsible for the official rules you publish, the eligibility restrictions you configure, the prizes you award, and compliance with all laws and platform policies that apply to your promotion. The tools on this page help you meet those obligations; they do not guarantee compliance.
Consult qualified legal counsel about your specific promotion.
