Does Gleam Pick the Winner For Me?
Yes, we built a random winner draw into Gleam. You run the draw, verify the entries, and handle the prize. We don't email winners or ship prizes, so those steps are yours.
The process, in order:
1. Draw the winner. Open your campaign's Winners tab and click Draw. We pick randomly from valid entries using Random.org for true randomness. You can also Hide Winner Details on Screen when drawing live on stream or in front of an audience.
Here is the whole draw on video, from checking invalid actions to announcing your winners in the widget:
2. Verify the entries. We verify most actions automatically through each platform's API. A few, like TikTok and Threads follows, need manual checks because those platforms don't offer a verification API. Always check the winner's social handles before you announce.
3. Contact the winner. Find their email address in the Winners panel and message them directly. Give them 48 to 72 hours to respond.
4. Fulfill the prize. Shipping, gift cards and codes are handled by you.
5. Announce publicly. Update the campaign page, post on social, and email your entrants.
If your winner doesn't respond by your deadline, you can redraw from the remaining valid entries.
