What Makes a YouTube Giveaway Compliant and Fair?
A compliant YouTube giveaway requires free entry, clear rules, and fair winner selection. Tools like Gleam help automate compliance and remove risk.
To keep your YouTube giveaway compliant and fair, you must follow both platform guidelines and general contest laws. This includes offering a free method of entry, clearly outlining eligibility and rules, and avoiding misleading or manipulative tactics like requiring likes for entry.
It's also important to document how winners are selected and ensure all entries are verified. Disclosing the start and end date, how the prize will be delivered, and how long the winner has to respond is crucial. Failing to meet these requirements can result in your giveaway being flagged or removed.
Gleam is purpose-built to manage these needs. Gleam automates rule presentation, tracks qualified entries, applies fraud filters, and helps draw winners using transparent, pre-set criteria. This not only ensures compliance but also saves you time and protects your credibility.
