How long does a host have to draw a winner?
All giveaway winners are chosen at random. Drawing for winners is discretionary to the giveaway host and most draw within 72 hours. Hosts must wait a minimum of 24 hours for to redraw a winner who has not claimed their prize, although we do recommend up to 72 hours to accommodate weekends, holidays, work and just the overall hectic nature of life.
The giveaway host needs to start the selection process manually. Once our system has selected a winner randomly, the giveaway host has the option to vet the winner and make sure they comply with our Terms of Use. They can then confirm the winner and send an email notification through our system with the good news!
If a particular host has not drawn within the 72 hour period following the giveaway ending, we'll follow up, remind them and provide them with 48 hours to do so.
