New Free Tool: Flip a Coin

We’ve launched a new Flip a Coin tool you can use instantly — completely free, with no signup and no subscription required.

Every flip uses a true 50/50 random function, with no weighting, no tracking, and no manipulation. It behaves exactly like a real coin toss, just faster and with more skins to make your decision taking fun.

You can control the flip speed, view your Flip History during the session, and switch between multiple Coin Styles, including simple heads or tails, currency coins by country, food decisions, pop culture options, and expressive emoji coins.

Results can also be shared on social media with the same coin style and setup, so everyone sees the exact context of the decision.

Social Auth Improvements

Reliability upgrades to contestant auth including popup-safe flows, improved account state handling, and enhanced session management.

Contestant authentication on your campaigns is now more reliable 🥳

We’ve rolled out improvements to the contestant authentication flow that reduce overall auth-related errors from around 10% to under 1%.

Because the contestant experience matters, this release focuses on removing common points of friction and making sign-in behave more predictably across different browsers and account states.

What’s improved

  • Fewer blocked auth windows: We’ve reduced failures caused by browser popup and auth window restrictions, with safer fallbacks that keep contestants moving.
  • Better handling of unusual account states: Clearer detection and handling for accounts that are suspended or in abnormal statuses, so contestants aren’t left stuck in a confusing loop.
  • Smarter session management: Improved session validation and recovery to prevent silent timeouts and reduce “try again” scenarios during entry.

Why it matters

  • Better conversion rates on Actions with Auth
  • Less friction and fewer retries = less frustration for your users
  • More consistent behavior across devices and browsers

This update is live for all campaigns!

Hide Winners For Live Draws

Hide winner details during live draws or streams. Mask names and contact info while you draw, verify, and contact winners in Gleam.

You can now hide winner information during your winner draws.

When enabled, we blur winner names, emails and location information so you can draw winners on Live Streams, when screen sharing or in front of a live audience without accidentally exposing entrants information to the world.

How it works

  • Toggle Hide winner details on the winners tab to hide any existing winners
  • When drawing new winners you can toggle Hide Winners to automatically blue them as you draw
  • Toggle Hide Winners at any time to reveal the information you need to verify & contact your winners!

Happy drawing 🏆

Quick Draws: Pending and Drawn Tab

You’ll now see a new Pending and Drawn tab when using the Instagram Comment Picker.

This update means you can refresh the page without losing an active draw.

If a draw is still in progress, it will appear under Pending, and once it’s finished you’ll find it under Drawn.

These two tabs make it easier to access draws that are still running and revisit ones you’ve already completed.

Users with existing campaigns, this has already been done for you. We pre-filled them for you based on the last social media action that you used in a campaign 😎
