How to remove duplicate and fake giveaway entries
Set rules in the picker that mirror your giveaway: one entry per person (on by default) removes repeat comments, "must mention" and "must contain" drop comments that didn't follow the rules, a deadline drops late ones, and "leave out these names" removes your team. Then check the winner's profile by hand before you announce.

Step by step
One entry per person
Repeat comments from the same account count once, however many times they commented.
Require what your rules require
At least N different @names tagged (their own and yours don't count), or a word or hashtag.
Cut late and early comments
Posted before and posted after limit the draw to the giveaway's dates.
Approve entries by liking them
On TikTok and Instagram you can draw only from comments the creator liked, so you decide who's in.
Leave out accounts
Your own comments are left out by default; add your team or partners.
Signs a winner may be a bot or a fake account
- A new account with no posts and no profile picture.
- The same comment text as many other entrants, word for word.
- Tags of accounts that look made up, or the same few accounts tagged by many entrants.
- A username that copies a real account with an extra letter or underscore.
Why not just delete bad comments first?
Deleting comments on the post changes what other people see and leaves no record of why. Rules in the picker leave the post alone, and the result page lists which rules were used and which entries were in the draw.
Questions
Does "tag 2 friends" count the same friend twice?
No. It counts different @names in the comment.
Can the picker tell a bot from a person?
Not reliably, and neither can anyone from a comment alone. Rules cut obvious junk; checking the winner's profile before announcing catches the rest, and a backup takes over if needed.
