Tips and Best Practices for Running Facebook Sweepstakes and Contests

One frequently used venue for promotional campaigns is Facebook, yet a lot of companies make the mistake of thinking they can move a competition or sweepstakes from their website to Facebook without making any sort of changes. Facebook often updates its regulations
pertaining to competitions and sweepstakes. Thankfully, there are sweepstakes services to help keep up with these sorts of modifications so that your campaigns can consistently adhere to Facebook policy.

Facebook Sweepstakes Promotional Policies

If you choose to use platforms like Facebook to host or communicate a contest or sweepstakes,
you are responsible for its lawful operation. This includes adhering to requirements such as:

• Official Rules
  In which you will need to clearly define the rules of your promotional campaigns. They
  also help shield your company from misconceptions and possible legal problems.
• Offer Terms and Eligibility Requirements
  In which you will need to describe who is eligible to participate and any terms of the
  offer. In the end, these components serve to establish confidence and guarantee that
  your campaign is reasonable and complies with legal requirements by outlining who is
  eligible to participate and the precise terms under which they can join and win.
• Compliance with Corresponding Laws
  Ensure your promotion complies with all relevant laws and regulations, including those
  concerning winnings and prizes. Having a good understanding of legal definitions
  specific to your campaign and drafting your rules accordingly is undeniably the best
  practice.
• Regulatory Approvals
  In which you will need to complete any necessary registration involved and obtain
  regulatory approvals. This involves several key steps to navigate the legal landscape
  and secure the necessary permissions for your promotion.
• Liability Release
  In which you will need to include a release of Facebook by each participant. By
  incorporating this practice, you can ensure that each participant is fully aware of and
  agrees to release Facebook from any potential claims or liabilities related to the
  promotion.
• Acknowledging Facebook’s Non-Affiliation
  In which you need to make it clear that the promotion is not sponsored, endorsed,
  administered by, or associated with Facebook. This is required to avoid participant
  misconceptions and to adhere to Facebook’s promotional standards.
