Easypromos: what its own pages say about voting contests, pickers and fraud checks
Easypromos describes itself as a platform for creating giveaways, contests, games and digital experiences, with apps for online voting contests and for picking winners from Instagram and Facebook comments. Its pricing page says users can sign up and test all apps at no cost, and a Basic plan is listed as a paid option. Its own terms leave the decision on flagged entries to the organiser.

Contests promotions, games and digital experiences: the named range
Easypromos's own site lists photo, video and text contests that run on social media or on the organiser's website, next to giveaways and games. The help centre then documents the separate apps behind those contests: an Online Voting Contest application, an Instagram Giveaway app and a Facebook giveaway tool.
The Online Voting Contest application, in the help centre's words, lets participating users vote online for their favourite candidates. Candidates can be published by the contest organiser, or by the users themselves by uploading photos, videos, projects or stories.
Digital promotions of this kind fall into two families. A voting contest builds its ranking from votes the platform records itself, while a comment-based giveaway draws from comments already posted on a social network, so the two rest on different evidence that a person entered.
Voting contest settings: logins, limits, visibility and closing date
Voters in an Easypromos online voting contest must identify themselves with one of the enabled login methods before voting, and complete the registration form the first time they take part. The tutorial counts in participations: a user can vote only once for the same entry in each participation, and can vote again for that entry in the next participation.
On top of that rule, the voting contest page says an organiser can set limits by hour, day or week, or configure the total number of votes allowed for each participant. The limit is therefore not fixed at one vote per account.
Visibility is a separate switch. The tutorial says an organiser can enable a page ranking the most voted entries, which publicly displays the number of votes each participant has obtained; when publication is disabled, the votes for each entry are visible only internally, to the contest organiser.
Closing follows the gallery dates. If voting is enabled, the gallery start and end dates the organiser configures also set the period in which users can vote, and the tutorial gives no single closing date for all contests. Where email validation is enabled, a voter must confirm an email address for the vote to be counted.
Fraud control: connection filters, flags and who decides
Easypromos states two technical checks for voting contests. Its tutorial lists filters and restrictions by country and IP, which limit the logs and the frequency of connections by IP and restrict the connection countries, and an Anti-Robot System that detects and blocks voting attempts from automatic bots. The documentation gives no universal numerical per-IP limit, so the setting is the organiser's to choose.
The cheating definition sits on a separate help page. Easypromos classes a user as fraudulent when it holds technical data proving the user cheated in a promotion, and lists using IP-changing software, purchasing votes in a contest and using robots to automate entries as examples. It keeps an active database of fraudulent users, who are blocked from taking part in any promotion.
Flags stop short of a verdict. Easypromos's posted terms allow it to prevent access, registration or participation where there are reasonable indications of fraud, abuse, automation, manipulation or attempts to bypass security controls, yet a flag does not automatically remove the participant or entry, nor alter rankings or results. The customer reviews the available information and decides whether to keep or exclude the entries concerned.
A vote detected as fake therefore reaches the organiser as a flag, and the contest's published rules decide whether the entry is disqualified.
Giveaway picker inside Easypromos: import, exclusions, alternates
Easypromos's Instagram Giveaway app imports all the comments on an Instagram post and runs a pick-a-winner contest among the users who commented. The vendor's giveaway page adds that comments come in through Meta's official API, that participation rules and exclusions can be applied, and that winners and alternates are selected randomly and transparently.
Facebook follows the same pattern for its comment picker: the vendor says it uses Meta's official API to import Facebook comments and reactions and to select winners automatically and transparently. A picker of this kind can only draw from what the import returns, so a comment that never reaches the list cannot win.
Alternates answer a practical problem: an exclusion or a disqualified entry can leave a winner's slot empty, and the tool selects the substitutes in the same draw.
Instagram giveaway across several posts or Reels
Easypromos states that its tool runs a comment-based Instagram giveaway on one or more posts or Reels, so a giveaway is not tied to a single post. The help tutorial adds that the first Instagram giveaway from an organic post, one not promoted as an ad, is free.
- Scope: one or more posts or Reels, according to the vendor's giveaway page.
- Method: the app imports all the comments on an Instagram post, according to the tutorial.
- Fairness line: winners and alternates are selected randomly and transparently.
- Cost line: the first giveaway from an organic post is free.
Facebook timeline contest: what the import names and omits
Easypromos's Facebook giveaway page says the platform uses Meta's official API to import Facebook comments and reactions and to select winners automatically and transparently. The line names two kinds of entry signal, comments and reactions, and says nothing about post shares or page likes.
An organiser who wants a share or a page like to count as an entry will not find that route in the line quoted here, so the current Facebook giveaway page is the place to confirm it before the post goes live. Comments and reactions on the post itself are the routes the vendor names.
Alternative vendors: a setting counts once both name it
Any alternative to Easypromos can be set against it only on settings that both vendors publish in their own words. For a voting contest those are the login requirement, the vote limit per hour, day, week or total, the IP and country filters, email validation, the public ranking and the anti-robot check that Easypromos lists.
Reviews and side-by-side tables from third parties can be read the same way. A line about a setting is useful when it names the setting and the plan it belongs to, and weak when it says only that a tool is secure or complete, because a description like that names nothing an organiser can compare.
A similar tool with a different unit, such as votes per session instead of per participation, needs converting before the two limits are compared.
Sign-up without cost and the paid Basic plan
Easypromos's pricing page says users can sign up and test all the apps without any cost. The same page lists a Basic plan billed monthly or yearly; this page prints no amounts, because plan prices change and the pricing page is the source that stays current.
The free first giveaway described above applies to an organic Instagram post only. The quoted lines do not say which apps a paid plan unlocks or whether the free test has a time limit, so an organiser asks before planning a budget around either.
| Setting | What the help page states | Limit or condition stated |
|---|---|---|
| Login | Identify with an enabled login method before voting | Registration form on first participation |
| Vote limit | Limits by hour, day or week, or a total per participant | One vote per entry in each participation |
| Connection filters | Limit the logs and frequency of connections by IP and restrict countries | No universal per-IP number published |
| Email validation | Voters confirm an email address when it is enabled | An unconfirmed vote is not counted |
| Public ranking | Page listing the most voted entries with their counts | Hidden totals are visible only to the organiser |
| Closing | Gallery dates also set the voting period | No single closing date for all contests |
| Anti-Robot System | Detects and blocks voting attempts from automatic bots | Stated as part of the security system |
Procedure
-
Pick the tool that matches the entry route
Choose the Online Voting Contest application for votes on candidates, the Instagram Giveaway app for comments under a post or Reels, or the Facebook giveaway tool for comments and reactions.
-
Decide who supplies the candidates
The platform lets the organiser publish candidates, or lets users upload their own photos, videos, projects or stories. Settle which route applies before the gallery opens.
-
Set the login and email validation
Voters identify themselves with an enabled login method and register on their first participation; with email validation enabled, each voter must also confirm an address for the vote to be counted.
-
Set the vote limit per participant
Choose a limit by hour, day or week, or a total per participant, and keep in mind the tutorial's rule of one vote per entry in each participation.
-
Choose what the public sees
Enable the page ranking the most voted entries to show each entry's count publicly, or leave publication disabled so totals stay visible only to the organiser.
-
Set the gallery dates and the filters
Set the gallery dates, since they also define the voting period, then apply the country and IP filters; the platform's Anti-Robot System is stated as part of its voting contest security.
Readers ask
What is the cost of using Easypromos?
Easypromos's pricing page says users can sign up and test all the apps without any cost, and it lists a Basic plan billed monthly or yearly. This page prints no amounts, so the pricing page is where the current figure is read.
How can I pick a winner in a Facebook Timeline Contest?
Easypromos says it uses Meta's official API to import Facebook comments and reactions and to select winners automatically and transparently. The line quoted here describes the draw as automatic and transparent and lists no further steps.
Can I organize a Facebook Timeline Contest among those who share my post or Like my page?
Easypromos's Facebook giveaway page names comments and reactions as what it imports, and the line quoted here does not mention shares or page likes. An organiser checks the current page before telling entrants that either route counts.
Can I run one sweepstakes including both likes and comments to select my winner(s)?
The vendor says it imports both Facebook comments and reactions, so both kinds of signal reach the tool before winners are selected. How the draw weighs a comment against a reaction is not stated in the line quoted here.
What does the platform do about votes detected as fake?
Easypromos voting contests carry an Anti-Robot System that detects and blocks voting attempts from automatic bots, plus country and IP filters that the organiser sets. A flag does not remove an entry by itself; the customer decides under the contest's rules.
Does a fraud flag disqualify an entry?
A fraud flag does not disqualify an entry by itself: Easypromos's posted terms say a flag does not automatically remove the participant or entry or alter rankings. The customer reviews the information and decides whether to keep or exclude the entry.
I can't see the post in the list. Why is that?
The list shows what the import returns, and the pages quoted here give no list of reasons for a missing post. Easypromos says its Instagram and Facebook tools import comments through Meta's official API, so a post the import does not return will not appear; the vendor's help centre is where an organiser confirms the cause.
Is it necessary to include Terms and Conditions in the sweepstakes?
The pages quoted here do not say whether a sweepstakes must carry terms and conditions, and that question turns on the law where the promotion runs. Easypromos's own terms govern the platform, while a promotion's rules are the organiser's to write; whether a prize promotion is legal to run, and whether it needs such terms, is a question for a lawyer or the regulator.

This page is not legal advice; a lawyer or the regulator where the promotion runs answers that question. A platform cannot settle whether a prize promotion is lawful, name a winner for the organiser or stop every fake vote. Easypromos's terms leave flagged entries to the customer, and no setting described here decides who wins.
Woobox's user terms require entrants to agree to the organiser's official rules, so any limit on bought or incentivised votes depends on the particular contest. Walmart's Associate Talent Search rules prohibit paying for votes and let Walmart void fraudulent votes or disqualify the entrant. The platform's terms and the organiser's rules are two documents, and a disqualification is decided under the second.
Woobox lists three warning signs of bought votes: many votes from one IP address, votes from people in different countries and regular voting intervals. Award Force says its platform detects and blocks automated or scripted voting and rate-limits rapid voting. Ordinary participation is uneven in time and independent in origin, so it shows none of those patterns; this describes how checks read a count and is not a method for passing one.
In the United States, the FTC says a sweepstakes cannot require a purchase to enter, and California says a sweepstakes must offer a way to enter without cost. Those rules concern sweepstakes entry, not votes: whether a contest allows paid votes is written in its own rules, and ViralSweep even lets organisers configure Pay to Vote. Contests whose rules bar outside votes are refused, and so are political ballots.
Once voting closes, a refund applies where votes ordered for a contest never appear in the count the contest itself displays. ViralSweep says its protections may silently flag and block a vote, and Woobox says votes from IP addresses it has flagged as fraudulent do not count even when the voter appears to have succeeded, so the displayed count is the test. An organiser's ruling or a disqualification is never refunded, and neither is an account ban such as the permanent one Gleam says a breach of its terms may bring.
