The best of raffle sites

The best of raffle sites. I've never seen anything better. Great giveaways can be held for publishers and content creators on the site that dominates all social media. I definitely recommend it.

It seems I got banned for no reason.

It seems I got banned for no reason, because any gleam contest is giving me the same message: "you're creating too many entries; try again later".

I never cheat and never will. I hate cheaters too.

Sent an e-mail and got no response at all.

Edit: Issue has been solved.

We've responded directly to this user via internal tickets. In this case the IP was suspended for participating in a hidden campaign (which shouldn't have been found by the public) that was being used to warm up bot accounts en-masse.

Great Competition Widget

I have used Gleam for many years now to run competitions, it is simple to use, easily draws winners using a random picker. As such I trust it for all my giveaways knowing I give my readers a fair chance of winning. Recently had an issue which was quickly solved by customer services and had me back up and running in no time.

Scam?

I entered a competition with hardly any entrants, which pretty much guaranteed the win for either myself, a friend (who also entered), or both, but was unable to obtain the winners list after multiple attempts.

We followed the T&C's in the competition and feel a little sickened that such a prestigious event has left this sour taste in our mouth.

The competition was associated with the Tony Robbins UPW event and, as per the terms and conditions, we are entitled to get this winners list at minimum. So far, nothing!!

The frustrating thing was that it actually took a bit of travel to partake in the competition (long travel to a advertising board and snap a picture) before tagging it on across social media. I presume this is why not many people entered but... a few did. To be specific, 3 did, and there was 5 tickets up for grabs.

Gleam isn't responsible for the prize draws, however we have forwarded this users concern on to the host of the campaign. Repeated violations by hosts will result in the ability to no longer run campaigns on Gleam so please report these via our Support channels who will be happy to help.

Impossible to log in

I’ve tried for one hour but this site keeps taking me back to the same login page even tho I’m already in. A scam, you’ll hear from my lawyer

In the end they fixed it but since I had the problem I can’t up it to 5 stars. 3 is fine

Dodgy & Fraudulent in my opinion.

The company has been taking my money for 3 years after 1 trial we did, despite numerous times of contacting them via their webpage and address listed there is no response, there is no real number to call. No one answers emails. $1660 USD later...... I am dealing with the bank to get my funds back.

Hey Scott, we replied to your email and provided a refund for the most recent month within 45 minutes from when you requested the cancellation on 1/13 that's inline with our refund policy - unfortunately if you've left your subscription active and not attempted to cancel prior to this date then you are liable for the costs: https://gleam.io/docs/faq/billing#refunds

Gleam also does not offer Trial periods just monthly subscriptions as detailed in the Billing FAQ above also.

So Easy To Use!

Have done a few giveaway campaigns with Gleam now and each time it's so easy! Simple setup that allows you to scale the contest as much as you want or need to. Definitely will continue to use Gleam for future marketing campaigns!

Gleam.io was an awesome and seamless experience! We're a small business that wanted to host an email giveaway via social media. I was a bit nervous as a social media manager because I've never done this before! I had great support via chat throughout the experience. Whenever I had questions, someone was there to help me through them. The platform itself was very user-friendly; it's nice that after you've launched the giveaway, you can still go back and make edits. It was very clear & easy to work with. Would 100% recommend! It's also customizable. Our giveaway looked great when we added graphics created by our designer!

I've utilised Gleam since 2020 and found their annual Hobby option the best choice for my small business. Recently I had questions about the identity of a winner, and reached out to the team. They responded quickly and provided detailed information. Thanks to Jessica and Ameya for their assistance.

The Services Gleam provides are 2nd to none in my oppinion, it does all the technical stuff for you, all you need to do is pick what you want it to do, there are templates that are already set up for you, or if you want to make your own from scratch, you can do that as well, however most things are locked behind a pay wall. so if you want more features then what the free version provides, you must get the paid version. All in All, it is a Pleasant experience to use!

Gleam is the best

Gleam is amazing. Initially I was using something called SweepWidget, they could not handle the traffic, kept going down and had bad bot detection. Gleam however does verification checks on many platforms much better then its competitors. It also has a cleaner UI then the competition. Its worth every penny.

Helpful website!

Decided to try it after seeing others using it, the free plan has quite a lot of useful features and was pretty simple to set up a (test) giveaway!

I will probably try to use this for Giveaways at some point, looking good so far!

Ask a Question, Get an Answer

Ask a question, get an answer... that's how Gleam support rolls!

I've had to reach out multiple times and every response is concise, accurate, and 100% helpful.

Jessica is an absolute all-star!

Along with phenomenal customer support, the contest software itself is super easy to set up and has helped us grow our email/SMS lists with virtually no effort required.

Highly recommend!
