How Do You Handle Throwaway Accounts in Competitions?

Question

Accepted Answer

Gleam allows you to restrict throwaway accounts from entering your campaigns. When this option is enabled, we will perform an additional check that rejects Twitter profiles that do not meet our minimum quality criteria for entering campaigns.

This option is designed to reduce spammers & cheaters, simultaneously ensuring the quality and legitimacy of your entrants.

If a contestant is suspected of using a throwaway account, they will see the following message when attempting to complete your action:

Sorry throwaway Twitter accounts are not allowed

What Is An Invalid Entry? We automatically flag certain entries that come across as Invalid. For example, if the action was incomplete, or if we detected suspicious activity from the user.

What Are Verified Actions Or Entries? Gleam uses a wide integration of APIs and social networks to check that entrants have completed your actions before awarding entries.
