How We Verify Giveaways

Extra Profit is useful only if it is stricter than the feeds it earns from. Listings are filtered against the checks below, and anything that fails the hard exclusions is kept off the site even if it would pay. This page is the standard we use, and it is also the checklist you should use before giving any company your details.

How we screen these listings

Named sponsor: A real giveaway names the company responsible for running it. If the entry page hides the sponsor or only uses a famous brand name with no company behind it, treat it as unsafe.
Official rules: The rules should state the prize, approximate retail value, entry period, eligibility, winner selection method and how odds are determined. Missing rules are the strongest reason to walk away.
Free entry: A US sweepstakes must be free to enter. No purchase necessary is a legal requirement, not a courtesy. Any fee to enter or claim a prize disqualifies the listing.
Reasonable data request: An entry form can reasonably ask for contact details. It should not ask for payment card numbers, bank logins, one-time codes, PINs or tax details before a win.
Prize and tax reality: High-value prizes can create tax paperwork, and physical prizes are taxed on value rather than cash received. Pages on this site call that out before the offer rail.

Automatic rejection signs

A fee, shipping payment, insurance payment or tax payment before a prize is released.
A required app install, download, subscription, deposit, gambling account, loan or credit-repair flow.
No company name, no official rules, or a page pretending to be a brand without saying who runs the promotion.
A request for a card number, banking password, sign-in code, PIN or Social Security number before you have won.
A promise that a gift card generator, cash generator or unlimited code tool will create money.

What we cannot verify from a feed

Live offers rotate and may disappear before a page revalidates.
Affiliate feeds do not always include the sponsor rules URL, so the final rules check happens on the company page before entry.
Extra Profit does not run the draws, choose winners or receive winner names from sponsors.

What happens before a listing appears

The feed is filtered for giveaway language, stated prize value or gift-card terms, then screened against hard exclusions such as app installs, gambling, loans, trials and purchase-required offers.
The page copy around the listing explains the category risk: tax, fake-prize patterns, card restrictions, state rules or assistance options where those are more useful than a draw.
The outbound link is marked `rel="sponsored nofollow"` because it is a paid link. We do not pass ranking credit to ad networks.
The final sponsor-rules check belongs on the sponsor page. If the company page does not show official rules, a named sponsor and a free entry route, leave without entering.

What immediately disqualifies an offer

A fee, shipping payment, insurance payment or tax payment before a prize is released.
A required app install, download, subscription, deposit, gambling account, loan or credit-repair flow.
No company name, no official rules, or a page pretending to be a brand without saying who runs the promotion.
A request for a card number, banking password, sign-in code, PIN or Social Security number before you have won.
A promise that a gift card generator, cash generator or unlimited code tool will create money.

What we cannot honestly claim

Live offers rotate and may disappear before a page revalidates.
Affiliate feeds do not always include the sponsor rules URL, so the final rules check happens on the company page before entry.
Extra Profit does not run the draws, choose winners or receive winner names from sponsors.

That limitation is why the site does not publish a fake winners wall and does not promise that entering will solve a money problem. A giveaway is a chance, not income.
