Hi Tim, I believe these specific guidelines relate to earning money with your content. Please see these guidelines under ‘Promotions’ for general advice on running contests.

Under their terms it says the following, which is not completely clear. Is money considered a physical good”?

“You are not permitted to give away physical goods in connection with any promotion. You can offer virtual gifts, for example, to celebrate special occasions, such as reaching a follower milestone.”

Thanks!

Hi Jennifer. RafflePress doesn’t offer this specific functionality. This guide on no purchase necessary giveaways may offer more insight for you.

I’d check with the Facebook and TikTok terms of service to be 100% sure Michael.

Hi Judith. This is something you’d have to check in with Facebook about. Since we’re not legal experts, we’d hate to give you any misleading information.

(I see groups doing this, just odn’t know if it’s “legal” with Facebook or not?)

Hi Ken, that’s a great question.

While RafflePress doesn’t have this functionality, you can probably do something similar with a content locking plugin. Here is a roundup of the best content locking plugins for WordPress.

Is there any way to post about the contest publicly, but also publish the contest files privately? In essence, what I mean is a person wants to enter and visits my page. The person clicks to enter the contest and they get the “sorry, this page is only available to people who ‘like’ this page.”

I know that’s an extremely technical way of going about it, but it does seem like that’s a legitimate optimistic attempt.
