Frequently asked questions
What must Instagram giveaway rules include?
Instagram requires a release that states the promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram/Meta. Good rules also cover eligibility (region + age), entry period with dates, how to enter, the prize, and how the winner is chosen and notified.
Is this giveaway rules generator free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, and unlimited use. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded. It outputs both a short caption disclaimer and a full official-rules document you can copy.
Do I have to include the "not affiliated with Instagram" line?
Yes. Meta's Promotions Guidelines require every giveaway to include a complete release of Instagram and acknowledge the promotion is not associated with Instagram. This generator adds that line to both the short and full versions automatically.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a convenience template that covers the common requirements, including Meta's. For high-value prizes or regulated regions, have a professional review your rules and local promotion/sweepstakes laws before publishing.
How do I run the giveaway after posting the rules?
Set a keyword, and UnlockDM auto-DMs everyone who comments it, verifies the follow, and can pick and announce the winner — all on Instagram's official API, so you never copy-paste entries by hand.
