Current rules for running Facebook Competitions on Pages, Groups and Events:
Communicating a promotion
If you use Facebook to communicate or administer a promotion (e.g. a contest or sweepstakes), you are responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including:
- the official rules;
- offer terms and eligibility requirements (e.g. age and residency restrictions); and
- Compliance with applicable rules and regulations governing the promotion and all prizes offered (e.g. registration and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals).
Required content
Promotions on Facebook must include the following:
- A complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant; and
- Acknowledgement that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Facebook.
Administration of a promotion
Promotions may be administered on Pages, groups, events or within apps on Facebook. Personal timelines and friend connections must not be used to administer promotions (e.g. “share on your timeline to enter” or “share on your friend’s timeline to get additional entries” and “tag your friends in this post to enter” are not permitted).
Assisting promotions
Facebook will not assist you in the administration of your promotion, and if you use our service, you agree to administer your promotion at your own risk.
