🔐 Authorization
Authorization is required to confirm account ownership, verify payments, and apply the service rules.
To log in, click the icon of the social network you need at the top of the page.
If you have several linked Instagram accounts — log in through Facebook or set a separate password for the needed account and sign in to Instagram with it, then use our site's authorization.
You can generate a strong password via this link.
Authorization is performed in the standard way via the official social network API. It is absolutely safe. Our service does not request or store any passwords — the login process happens entirely on the chosen social network’s website. Your accounts are completely safe!
🚫 Authorization issues
Authorization code doesn’t arrive —
Unfortunately, we cannot influence how Instagram or Facebook handle SMS or email delivery. This process happens entirely on their side. We do not send any SMS or emails.
Here are a few ways to fix it:
🌐 Change interface language
The language is detected automatically based on your system settings, but you can change it using these links:
💬 Pick a winner from comments
Copy the link to your post or video and paste it into the field in the center of the screen.
Then click START and wait until all comments are processed. You can cancel comment processing at any moment using the X icon.
When the processing finishes, you'll see a randomly selected comment and its author (name and avatar at the top).
✍️ Pick a winner from authors
One author may leave 100 comments while another leaves only 1 — picking “from authors” gives both equal chances. But picking “from comments” gives 100x higher chance to the first one.
Copy the link to your post or video and paste it into the field in the center.
Then open settings ⚙️ and check the option “pick from authors”.
Click START and wait for the results.
You can cancel the process any time using the X icon.
❤️ Pick a winner from likes
Instagram has disabled viewing all likes for all accounts. At the moment, picking from likes (if there are more than 1000) and like verification do not work.
- Copy the link to your post or video and paste it into the center field.
- Open settings ⚙️ and enable “pick from likes”.
- Click START and wait for the results.
- You can cancel anytime using ❌
NB! Our service picks from the last 1000 available likes, while Instagram manually shows only the last 100. If you have more than 100 (but less than 1000), you cannot make a full selection manually — only through our service.
#️⃣ Pick a winner by hashtag
For Instagram giveaways you can pick a random photo by #hashtag. We use the first #tag from your post description and consider all photos and videos with this tag posted not earlier than your giveaway post. If no posts are found for the tag — settings automatically switch back to “pick from comments”.
👤 Subscription check
Subscription check verifies whether the participant is following the author of the giveaway post. For collaborative posts we check the profile of the user who published the post.
Our service can verify subscriptions for private Instagram accounts as well.
For YouTube giveaways — the participant must make their subscriptions list public.
🔁 Repost check
The participant must repost the giveaway post to their Story (share → add to Story) and save it to Highlights — this allows us to check the repost anytime, not just within 24 hours.
If the conditions do not include saving to Highlights — the repost check turns OFF automatically.
⏱️ Only Stories created after your giveaway post are checked.
☝️ Participants can restore any Story from their Archive if they forgot to add it to Highlights.
🤝 Sponsor check
We read all tagged accounts from the post description except @lizaonair and verify subscription to them.
This function is available when subscription check to the organizer is enabled.
If any sponsor account is private or unavailable (typo, missing underscore, etc.) — the sponsor check toggle will be disabled.
👥 Multiple winners
You can select multiple winners using the 🔄 button.
It appears right after selecting the first winner.
You don’t need to reprocess comments — winners are picked one by one without duplicates.
Free version limit — 10 winners. Premium — 50.
🏆 Results page
You can find the link to the results page by clicking 🏆 under the input field. The page shows all winners who passed all selected automatic checks. The winner list updates instantly after each selection.

📵 Why aren’t all Instagram comments loading?
If you normally get 10 comments but suddenly expect 1000+ on a giveaway post, Instagram will likely block access to most comments due to unusual activity (spam filter). Closing comments or archiving the post gives Instagram time to review them and restore access. 4–5 days is enough in most cases.
We are the only service that notifies you about this and prevents giveaways with missing comments.
🚫 Why is my post unavailable in Instagram?
A post may be unavailable for several reasons: 🔒 private account, age restrictions, 🔞 banned keywords in the text, 🍾 prohibited content.
🔞 How to remove restrictions
🔓 How to open your account
Restrictions must be REMOVED, not changed to a different age.
Instagram may automatically restrict a post based on its content — you can try editing the text and waiting.
If nothing helps — the giveaway cannot be processed through our service.
📵 Why aren’t all VK comments loading?
Most likely your group/page/profile has restricted public data access. Check the privacy settings.
📊 How to export data to Excel?
After comments/likes/authors are processed, click the EXCEL icon next to the winner card. Import the generated .CSV file into EXCEL.
