Q: Can I Do a Cash Giveaway?

Cash giveaways are not against Gleam's Terms of Use , but we don't recommend offering cash prizes because the appeal is too broad and runs the risk of driving low-quality entries. Instead, we encourage you to offer prizes that are targeted towards your audience. Having a prize that plays a key role in your promotion can strengthen the messaging and turn your campaign into an event so enticing that it shouldn't be missed.
