Run social media giveaways and pick winners at random

Social media giveaway tool

Run giveaways on Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky or from a list without collecting participants by hand. Choose your source, import the entries, set your rules and pick winners at random through a clear process.

How to run a social media giveaway with SorteosUp

Choose where you published your promotion, import comments or add your list, configure winners and alternates, then review the result. When a network requires authorization, the connection is requested just before it is needed.

Instagram, YouTube and Bluesky giveaways

Create comment giveaways on Instagram and YouTube, or choose participants from public replies to a compatible Bluesky post. Each platform has its own access and availability requirements.

Giveaways from a participant list

Paste names, customers, attendees or participants from Excel and CSV. You can also bring compatible sources into one process when combined giveaways are available.

Free giveaways up to 500 comments or participants

Start free up to 500 valid comments or participants, with no monthly subscription. Above that limit, the interface shows the volume and cost before processing: from 501, one point is charged per raw item.

Pick random winners with custom rules

Configure mentions, words, duplicates, winners and alternates according to the available options. Choose a normal result or add a public certificate to keep verifiable proof of the selection.

Free random tools

If you do not need to import comments, explore SorteosUp’s free random tools to pick names, form teams, create pairs, roll dice, generate numbers, use wheels or settle quick decisions.

Tips before organizing a social media giveaway

Before publishing a giveaway, define the conditions clearly to avoid questions during participation and problems when it is time to choose the winner.

Make sure you clearly state:

• Giveaway start date.
• End date and time.
• Who can participate.
• Geographic scope.
• Minimum age, where applicable.
• How to participate.
• Allowed entries per person.
• Prize or prizes.
• Number of winners.
• Number of alternates.
• Winner selection method.
• How the result will be announced.
• Response deadline for the winner.
• What happens if the winner cannot receive the prize.

You should also check the rules of the social network used and the legal obligations applicable to the promotion.

SorteosUp provides the technical winner-selection process, but the organizer remains responsible for the rules, participation requirements, prize and applicable regulations.

Do not change the rules after the promotion starts unless there is a justified reason and you can manage the change properly.

Clear setup from the start makes the giveaway easier to run and easier to explain to participants later.
