Overview

Pick a template, customize colors, copy, images and rules, and publish a sweepstakes, instant-win game, voting contest or photo and video contest on a hosted landing page or embedded on your site. Entries arrive through forms or social comments and hashtags, bonus entries reward actions such as sharing or following, and winners are picked at random, by vote or by points. Entrants go into an exportable database with automated emails, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo and webhook sync, and built-in analytics. Landing pages and pop-ups add conditional-logic forms and time, scroll or exit-intent triggers. Anti-fraud tools such as reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile and a fraud filter are available depending on the plan.
