Can We Fix That Sweepstakes?

That depends.  As a quick overview, both SweepsAdvantage and SweepstakesPlus are collections of sweepstakes listings.  Our editors search the web to find sweepstakes for you, and we post the links on our site.  The paragraph descriptions on our site belong to us.  However, once you click on a link, you are interacting directly with the sweepstakes sponsor.  We cannot correct or edit any information on a sponsor's website.

The kinds of things we can fix include typos and edits in our own listings.  We can remove expired sweepstakes and change the expiration dates if necessary.  If the Restrictions field is wrong, we can correct it to show who can enter a sweepstakes.  We can add notes to the description that will help you with the entry form.  If there are shareable codes, we can add them to the listings if we have them.  If a sweepstakes is in the wrong category, we can move it.  If it's part of our description, we can adjust it.

What we cannot do is change, edit or correct information on the sponsors' websites.  We know it is frustrating when your code doesn't work, your state is missing from the entry form, or the page won't advance.  We share your frustrations, but we have no access to the sponsors' content.  All we can do is the same thing we would advise you to do – contact the sponsors if there is a problem with their sweepstakes.  If the page won't load or the rules are wrong, only the sponsors can fix it.

Something else to consider – is your browser up to date?  If you have IE6 or earlier on your computer, there are sweepstakes that will not run for you.  This is a situation you have the power to correct.  If you download the latest Internet Explorer or Google Chrome to your computer, you should discover that ‘problem' sweepstakes will now work for you.
