Sweepstakes FAQ

Common questions about GiveawayGoose sweepstakes — eligibility, prizes, winners, taxes, fraud prevention, and how the platform is funded. If your question is not answered here, contact support.

Eligibility & entry

Open to U.S. residents 18 and older. One account per person. Entry is always free; no purchase is ever necessary.

Winners & prizes

Winners are drawn randomly from valid entries and verified for U.S. residency and age before any prize ships. Prizes are paid for in cash by GiveawayGoose or our sponsors and shipped directly.

Taxes

Sweepstakes prizes are taxable income in the U.S. We issue a 1099-MISC for winners whose prize value crosses the IRS threshold; otherwise the winner is responsible for reporting it on their own return.
