How to Write Giveaway Rules

Publish giveaway rules before it starts: who can enter, how, when the draw happens, what the prize is, how winners are contacted and how data is handled. Platforms such as WeChat, Weibo and X have their own promotion rules; follow them first.

Can I use a random name picker?

Yes, but announce the tool and rules in advance and save the list and result.
