Is Filling Out a Form Online Considered a Valid AMOE?

Usually, yes. An online form is one of the most common ways to offer an alternate method of entry (AMOE), along with sending an email or mailing a postcard. For it to count, it generally has to:

• cost nothing to use
• be open to everyone eligible for the paid route, for the whole promotion
• give free entries the same odds and value as paid ones
• be clearly explained in your rules

The details differ by country and US state, so read our No Purchase Necessary guide and check with a lawyer before you launch. We can't give legal advice.

In Gleam, the free entry form is built in:

1. Open the paid Action on your How to Enter tab (a Custom Action, Eventbrite event or venue, or Bonus for Twitch Subscribers).
2. Tick A Purchase or Donation is Required to Complete This Action.
3. Save. We add a free entry alternative to your Terms & Conditions and show the form only to entrants in countries that require one.

The full setting is on the How to Enter tab.
