How can people enter my KingSumo giveaway?
People enter with their email or Enter with Google, then earn bonus entries for actions you add under Dashboard → Edit → 3. Bonus Entries.
How do entrants enter?
- Enter with your email — they type their email address. KingSumo then sends an entry confirmation email.
- Enter with Google — they sign in with their Google account and are confirmed automatically. This button isn't shown if your giveaway asks for a phone number.
On the Lifetime Plan you can also ask entrants for their name and phone number.
How entrants earn bonus entries
After entering, people see the bonus actions you added. Each completed action adds the number of entries you set.
- Open the giveaway editor and go to section 3. Bonus Entries.
- Choose an action from Add Entry Action, for example Link, YouTube Subscribe, Facebook Follow, Instagram Follow, X Follow or Daily Entries.
- Set Number of Entries (how many entries this action is worth).
- Daily Entries can be earned again every 24 hours. Other actions count once per entrant.
- Referrals: every entrant gets a personal link. They earn entries for each friend who enters through it and confirms.
- Bonus entries are counted when the entrant clicks the action. KingSumo can't check with other sites whether they really followed or subscribed.
In section 2. Sharing, choose which share buttons entrants see: X, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, LinkedIn, Pinterest and email.
