How to Win Instagram Giveaways
Most Instagram giveaways are won by entrants who did everything the rules asked. Hosts often disqualify entries that miss one step.
- Read the rules twice. Note the end date, whether you need to follow, comment, tag or sign up on a page, and what counts as one entry.
- Complete every required step in one go, from the account you want to win with.
- Do the optional steps. Hosts who run through Gleam give extra entries for them, and winners are drawn from entries, so more Actions means more chances.
- Tag real friends who'd want to be tagged. Instagram's promotion rules bar misleading tagging.
- Enter before the last day, in case something fails.
Check it's legitimate first. A real giveaway names the host, the prize, the end date and how winners are picked, and never asks for a payment or a password.
Hosts can check entries too. Gleam's Instagram Comment Picker draws from a post's comments at random, so a comment that follows the rules is a real ticket. Our Instagram giveaway rules post shows what hosts have to follow.
