Why is the URL page for my giveaway not working?
Visitors can't open your giveaway URL until you verify your email. Click Resend verification email in the bar at the top of your Dashboard, then open the link.
Why doesn't my giveaway page load for visitors?
| Cause | What you see | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Your email isn't verified | A yellow bar: "Your giveaways won't be visible to the public until you verify your email." On your giveaway page: "This giveaway is not public yet." | Click Resend verification email and open the link while logged in |
| The giveaway was deleted | Visitors get a "not found" page | Create a new giveaway |
| Your account is suspended | "Your account has been suspended from posting giveaways" on your giveaway list | See Why has my account been suspended? |
These causes and fixes are the same on every plan.
If the problem is an embedded giveaway
Copy the embed code again from the giveaway's Promote page and replace the old code on your site. See How do I embed a giveaway on my website?
Troubleshooting
The verification link doesn't verify my email
The link only works for the account you're logged in to. Log in to KingSumo with that account first, then open the link again in the same browser.
The giveaway loads for me but not for others
You can always see your own giveaway. Visitors can't until your email is verified — look for the yellow bar at the top of KingSumo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the giveaway link change if I rename the giveaway?

What does a 404 error mean?
