How Can I Promote a Contest for Restricted Items Like Firearms or Crypto?

Platforms like Facebook, Google Ads, and TikTok restrict ads for items like firearms, tobacco, alcohol, or cryptocurrency. Promoting such giveaways directly on those platforms risks suspension.

Instead, use opt-in email, dedicated landing pages, and Reddit or niche forums where such promotions are allowed. Always include clear terms, legal disclaimers, and country-specific restrictions.
