There are lots of rules for giveaways for both the companies and winners. A tax form will be required for the winner from each company with a prize over 600 dollars. Over 5000 dollars requires more legal documentation.
*****You’ll need to post the rules for your giveaway, either on your website, in a blog post, or both, and reference those rules as needed. If you’ve met the criteria for a sweepstakes, you’ll need to include the following:
In addition, anything the administrator or sponsor intends to do with the information provided must always be disclosed in the rules. If there is an intent to use the information for marketing or research purposes, that should be disclosed so an entrant clearly understand what, if any, rights they may be waiving.
- Identify the prize: provide as much detail as necessary to both identify it and make it attractive to your readers
- Who can enter: detail who is allowed to enter, as well as those excluded (most sweepstakes allow only U.S. residents to participate, as Canadian laws and laws in other countries have different definitions of types of giveaways)
- Duration: clearly set out when the giveaway (sweepstakes) will begin and end, and follow through
- How to enter: let the reader know what entry methods are available for your sweepstakes
- How the winner is chosen: describe how you will choose your winner, especially since you are likely choosing randomly
- Technical issues: since we all know there could be technical problems, let people know how they will be handled. For example, will you delete duplicate entries? If your site goes down, what will you do?
