Why are some people getting more than one entry?
Entrants start with 3 entries, then earn more from referrals and the bonus actions under Dashboard → Edit → 3. Bonus Entries. This works on every plan.
Where do extra entries come from?
| Source | Entries |
|---|---|
| Entering with their email or with Enter with Google while the giveaway runs | 3 |
| Each friend who enters through their personal referral link and confirms | 3 per friend |
| Each bonus action they complete | The Number of Entries you set for that action |
| Daily Entries | Can be earned again every 24 hours |
An entrant's referral link is the address of their own giveaway page, which they see after entering. It looks like kingsumo.com/g/…/…/their-code.
Entries from actions you removed
If you remove a bonus action, entrants keep the entries they already earned from it. Someone can then have more entries than your current actions add up to. See How do I delete bonus entries?

Troubleshooting
An entrant has more entries than seems possible
Check whether they referred friends, used Daily Entries on several days, or completed an action you later removed.
An entrant has no entries
People who leave their email after the giveaway has ended are late entrants. They get no entries and can't be drawn as winners.
