Why creators stop scrolling and pointing
The fastest way to lose audience trust is to pick a winner by scrolling and pointing. Here is the side-by-side on what that costs you and what a real picker gives back.
Manual scroll-and-pick
- Scroll-stop bias amplifies whatever comment lands under your thumb.
- Familiar handles get picked more often than they should.
- Late entries dominate the visible feed and crowd out fair contenders.
- One skeptical comment ("your friend always wins") compounds across future giveaways.
- Unworkable past 200 comments. Impossible at 5,000.
IgSorteio
- Cryptographic RNG. The same primitive HTTPS uses for session keys.
- Live counter, and the full list stays open: browse and search every entry before you draw.
- Filter set maps onto the rules you actually wrote in your caption.
- Slot-reel reveal you can screen-record straight to a Story.
- Scales from 30 comments to 50,000 with no change in workflow.
- Winner card with @username, comment and timestamp. Your audit trail.
Eight filters that match the caption you actually wrote
Every rule you put in your caption should map onto a single filter in the picker. No spreadsheet. No judgment calls at draw time. Here is the full set.
Required hashtag
#mygiveawayLowercase-normalized match. Strict toggle available for exact-match enforcement.
Minimum @mentions
≥ 2 mentionsCounts @username tokens per comment. Maps directly to your tag-a-friend rule.
Required keyword
"win me"Substring match, case-insensitive by default. Useful for product names or code words.
Date range
May 1 → May 7Only counts comments inside your contest window. Late entries get filtered out automatically.
One entry per user
dedup-by-userTurn it on and five comments from one fan count as a single entry. Leave it off if your rules allow multi-entry.
Dedup by text
collapse copiesFolds identical comment text into a single entry. Useful when copy-paste bots are obvious.
Exclude post owner
skip @youStrips your own admin comments and replies from the eligible pool.
Blocklist usernames
@bot1, @bot2Manually exclude known bots or ineligible accounts.
Tag-a-friend draws, contests, fan picks. One tool.
Tag-a-friend giveaways
Set minimum @mentions to 2, require your campaign hashtag, turn on one entry per user. A single fan with 50 comments gets one entry, and the reveal makes a clean Reel.
Brand contests & sweepstakes
Need to prove fairness to a sponsor? Screenshot the winner card: username, comment text, timestamp. That is your audit trail, with zero spreadsheet work.
Fan picks & community spotlight
Picking a follower to feature, a comment to answer on stream, or a name to DM a freebie to? Use the picker as a real-time selector even when there is no prize.
