The following is a Q&A addressing the inquiries we receive:
1. How do you select the giveaway winners?
The winner selection process has several steps:
(a) Filtering - The first step is filtering out those who have (1) not completed their personal information at bit.ly/2ceK2lx (2) not uploaded a real profile photo of themselves at bit.ly/2g6uVvw.
(b) Randomization - The remaining participants are then converted to a numeric system and randomized.
(c) Selection - With the click… See More
of a button the giveaway RNG system selects the potential winners.
(d) Inspection - A senior staff member visually inspects the automated selection to verify that the personal information section was completed, and a real profile photo was uploaded. The process is repeated if a potential winner fails this step.
(e) Final Selection - The final winner selection is saved to a password protected PDF, to minimize the possibility of alteration, and sent to another senior staff member for verification.
(f) Announcement - The winners are publicly announced, and we include links to their profile pages so that our participants can verify that they have real accounts.
(g) Verification - A senior staff member contacts the potential winners via email to verify all of their data, and will offer a final approval.
(h) Approval - Once approved, the shipping information is sent to the promotion sponsors.
(i) Shipping - The sponsors ship the prizes directly. This shipping process can take up to 120 days after the giveaway ends. The sponsor will finance shipping cost, but the winner is responsible for all taxes and duties imposed by local jurisdictions.
2. Does GTribe have a geographical preference for winners?
Yes, only humans with a residential address on the planet Earth can win. Seriously, since GTribe does not ship the prizes (our sponsors do), or host regional promotions, we have no geographical bias.
3. Why does the USA seem to win the most?
The percentage of participants from the USA is typically high, although we do not specifically target US residents in our promotions.
4. Why has my country never been selected?
Our giveaways have a large number of participating countries [195 average] and we normally select at most 3 top winners. Therefore, you will have 187 countries that fail to be represented in the final selection. Realize that our giveaways are not beauty pageants, so the contest is not based on countries, but individuals, and as far as the GTribe staff is concerned, it's all just one global community.
5. How can I increase my personal chances of winning?
The best way to increase your chances is to join the GOD Mode program, because you're auto-entered into all of our primary giveaways. So that repetition will increase your chances.
7. Do you ever manually select a winner based on a specific criteria (need, location, community participation, friendship, etc)?
No. The process is always as described above.
8. Do you have to be verified (check mark icon) member to win?
No. Although, you're still required to have a complete profile and a real profile photo.
9. How can I verify if my profile photo is suitable?
Contact our Community Manager, Alex Anderson, and he will verify that for you.
10. Have you disqualified a winner before?
Yes, when we discover inconsistencies that reveal that a person did not provide truthful information before the drawing, we will disqualify (DQ) them, announce it, and then select an alternate winner.
