Do I Need Official Rules For A Facebook Competition?

Yes, publish official rules. Meta's Pages Terms and Page Guidelines have a promotions section that covers a release of Facebook, an acknowledgement that Facebook doesn't sponsor, endorse or administer your promotion, and official rules. Read the current version before you launch, because Meta updates it.

Your rules should cover:

  • Who can enter and where
  • How to enter, and any free alternative
  • The prize and its value
  • Start and end dates
  • How and when winners are chosen and contacted

Gleam generates Terms & Conditions for every Competition from your campaign setup, and entrants can read them from the link in the widget footer. To check yours, open the Setup tab, find Terms & Conditions and click Modify. Set the Sponsor Name, Governing Law Country and Winners will be selected by. Add the Facebook release and acknowledgement wording under Additional Terms, then link your landing page from the Facebook post. Custom Terms need the Hobby Plan or above.

For more, see Terms & Conditions.
