Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enter multiple times?
Not yet, this may be a feature we add in the future. Each person may enter each contest once.
Feel free to tweet as much as you want though, each time you do you put more eyes on the sponsor which
increases the likelihood of future contests.
Does tweeting more increase my chances or change the outcome?
No, even though some contests may say "whoever tweets the most" or "the person who tweets the most wins", only one actually counts. Everyone who
enters on this site has the same chance to win. It's up to the contest lister to decide how they word their page. Some contest listers do not read
the site before posting and state that but it's not the case.
Who won the contest I entered?
Find out by clicking "completed" contests above!
Do you redraw if a contest winner was not responding?
We do not, we simply host and track the giveaways. Please contact the contest sponser for specific information.
Why use this site to find contests?
This site makes contests easy to find, and offers up all the info about who is playing and
who won. We don't have any interest in who wins, so you can be sure everything is fair.
Tweetswin employees and their familys are not allowed to participate.
Why did you follow me and then stop?
All the social connections are automated and the bot that manages everything unfollows
anyone that is not following back. This happens rather quickly. We occasionally follow
interesting people in hopes that they will follow us back and the link will be preserved.
I entered to win but the entry count did not go up?
You must follow the contest host before you enter the contest or it won't be counted as a valid entry.
Remember, follow THEN tweet!
Why use this site to run a Twitter Contest?
Good question, but why not?
If you post your contest using this site, we'll track your
entries, traffic, and choose a winner when the contest ends.
Contests are a great way to get engage the Twitter community!
We would like to sponser a contest but do not use Twitter, can you help?
We'd love to help! Contact sponsor@tweetswin.com for more information.
How many contests can I create?
Hmm, as many as you want I guess. Just make sure you do send the prizes for each one!
If users begin reporting a user isn't following through we blacklist and tar/feather them!
How do I collect my prize?!
Contact the contest host, we just list the info and can't make any promises. If someone
did not deliver, you can email abuse@tweetswin.com.
Can I cancel a contest once it has begun?
Yes you can, just tweet a cancel request ( you must be following us ). Here is an example of
a cancel request:
"@tweetswin Please #cancel http://tweetsw.in/1/ for me."
Where 1 would be your contest id ( visible in the nav bar when you view the contest ).
Or you can also just unfollow us, whenever someone stops following @tweetswin all of their data
is automatically removed from the system within a few minutes.
I don't want to participate or have data on this site, how can I stop this?
Sorry to see you go! Just unfollow us, when you do all related data is deleted within 15 minutes!
My contest selected a winner that is not eligible according to my rules. Can I pick someone else?
Yes you can, just visit your contest's page and click the asterisk next to the winner's text, this will provide
you with a link and status update to remove that winner and block them from winning again on that contest.
Can I advertise on this site?
Maybe, though we're planning to do weekly drawings for the only planned ad spot. Contact
advertise@tweetswin.com for more info.
Why?
It's a short story. I noticed some contests
and tweeps were not getting any attention, meanwhile
popular people were hosting weekly contests and doing a lot of manual work to
select winners.
Since I like to code and had a weekend to kill, I thought I'd try to help.
Does this site make money?
What? Nope. Right now we're just running this thing as a hobby. If traffic and hosting
costs grow to levels that make it less fun as a hobby we have some great ideas that
will provide neat new features and cost money, but the plan is to always stay free for the
masses.
