Instagram Comment Picker

If this option is enabled, replies to comments will be included in the contest entries. By default, only top-level comments are considered, and replies are excluded.

Note: The comment count shown under your Instagram post includes all replies.

If this option is enabled, multiple comments from the same user will be filtered out, allowing only one entry per user.

Each user is identified by their unique username, ensuring a fair and equal chance for everyone to win.

With this option, a single comment must tag a minimum number of users to be included as entry in the raffle, up to a maximum of 10 tags.

Once this filter is selected, you can also choose to remove duplicate comments from the same user that tag the same friends. If enabled, only the first valid comment from each user will count as an entry.

If you enable this filter, a text field will appear where you can enter a specific word, hashtag, or phrase.

A comment must include this text to qualify for the contest. To filter by multiple words, add each one in a separate field.

Use the date filter to include only comments posted within a specific time frame. Set a start and end date to ensure only comments made during your giveaway period are counted.

You can also filter comments based on the number of likes. Enter a specific like count and choose whether comments must have exactly that number, more than, or less than. This is a great way to reward the most popular comments or for specific contests, like comment with no likes wins!

If you enable the 'Add extra entries' option, a text area will appear where you can enter usernames for additional entries.

These entries are counted separately from the comments, are not affected by filters, and will be included in the total number of contest entries.

Use this filter to allow users to gain multiple entries by posting more comments or tagging friends while ensuring no one gets an unfair advantage. Set a maximum number of entries per user to keep the giveaway fair and balanced.

Enable the 'Exclude users' option to prevent specific users from winning. A text area will appear where you can list usernames to exclude, with or without the '@' symbol.

This is useful for blocking spam accounts or preventing previous winners from winning again. Be sure to enter the Instagram username, not the person's name. For example, use '@commentpicker' instead of 'Comment Picker'.

Pick multiple winners at once for your Instagram giveaway. Free users can select one winner at a time, while Premium users can choose up to 10 winners in one draw.

You can also choose to enable confetti and sound to make it even more fun!
