Entry forms w Icons (FB, TWTR, PNTRST, etc) Do U Like/follow just 1 time/Every time?

[zoom38]

When sweeps entry page has Icons on entry form, Like Facebook Icon to click and make sure you like and follow on FB to enter; click on twitter Icon to make sure you are following and/or tweet to enter; click on Instagram Icon to make sure you are following to enter; click on Pinterest Icon to make sure you are following and/or pin to enter; click on subscribe to YouTube Icon to make sure you are subscribed to enter; etc.

NOT the usual General row of Icons found on every site page.

But the Icons on entry form, Icons specifically located at the point of entering (where you input your e-mail, N & A, etc.) (not the General row of Icons found on every site page) for me that means click on all of them, follow, pin, subscribe, whatever, should/must be completed before filling out entry form and submitting entry. I usually do this ONE TIME per unique sweepstakes, usually 1st time entry and then subsequent entries to the same sweepstakes, I DO NOT click on them again. Do you think I need to click on Icons every time I submit an entry, or is 1 time click, per Icon, per unique sweepstakes enough? What do you think?

zoom38 - The rules will tell you & this is where the NOTES feature comes in handy - just note when the rules state if sharing gets you extra entries, how often to share, & if any hashtags that must be used.

Amy respectfully - Have you entered any rafflecopter sweepstakes lately? A good portion of them don't even have Rules. Those that have rules "generally state" you will receive Bonus points by sharing on FB, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google, etc.

I'm sorry if I didn't make my point clear.

This isn't about Rules - it's about GLEAM.IO (I Think) - a sweepstakes sponsor - requiring me to uses my YouTube/Google E-MAIL address to get Bonus Points from YouTube/Google G-Mail TASKS, instead of getting those Bonus Points, using the E-Mail Facebook address I Initially Logged onto the sweepstakes with to get Bonus Points from YouTube/Google Tasks.

From this point on, and have forever in the past, as well into the future I "always read the rules".

I urge you to try it, logging into BOTH links below using your Facebook account E-mail address and experience it for yourself.

For example the rafflecopter at this link is an either G-Mail or Facebook e-mail (not Both) sweepstakes - https://gleam.io/lVbdW/600000-subscriber-giveaway.

This example the rafflecopter at this link allows bonus points without switching mid sweepstakes entry, WITHOUT switching to G-Mail address - https://ontargetmagazine.com/summer-heat-survival-giveaway/

I realize this is not an SA problem, but I thought this was a sweepstakes community where we listen, understand, and try to help each other out.

I really appreciate how you help myself and others in the "Latest Comments" section of SA, a lot of personal time and effort, you use.

Thanks Amy, I appreciate all the time and effort you used to understand my questions and concerns.

zoom38 - correct, I avoid rafflecopter [seems to be mostly BLOGS] promos precisely because they have scant or no real rules, and don't seem to adhere to regular sweepstakes laws.

As for GLEAM.IO? I do believe they are a platform {like FB/TWITTER/Instagram/Pinterest/Amazon/etc} or perhaps it's an APP that works with those other platforms, that sponsors utilize to run their promos on, so to get questions answered/issues corrected/or to get them to stop using that platform, you'd have to contact the individual sponsors.

Sorry I don't know any more
