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.
Six things to state
Eligibility (region, age, employees).
How to enter and the deadline.
Prize, quantity, value and how winners are notified.
Draw method (random tool/livestream) and time.
Privacy (what is collected, for how long).
Disclaimers and platform statements.
Records and disputes
Export or screenshot the list before drawing, and save the result and tool description.
Do not use a rigged or editable list; collect winner details privately.
FAQ
Can I use a random name picker?
Yes, but announce the tool and rules in advance and save the list and result.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on the jurisdiction and prize value; some US states require registration, so ask legal for commercial promotions.
