You can set minimum requirements for contest participants based on:
- Number of followers: Exclude accounts with fewer than a specified number of followers.

- Profile Age: Restrict entry to accounts older than a specified number of days.
- Must have bio: If the account does not have a bio set, they are excluded.
- Must have profile picture: If the account does not have a profile picture set, they are excluded.
By default, there are no restrictions of filters. These filters help prevent fake or inactive accounts from participating.
User should like the Tweet
This filter is only available for the retweet contest type. A user is required to like the original post that needs to be retweeted, before the retweet will be counted as an entry for the contest.
Add extra entries
You can provide users with extra chances by selecting 'Add extra entries.'. In the provided textarea, you can enter the names of the X usernames who will receive additional entries.
These extra entries are distinct from existing entries and will be excluded from any other filters, only being added afterward. This feature can be useful for providing an extra chance to your X Followers, for example.
Exclude users
You can exclude Twitter user by selecting the option Exclude users. You will see a textarea where you can add the usernames of the Twitter users you want to exclude from the contest.
This option is useful if you want to exclude previous winners from winning again or block spam accounts. You should enter the exact Twitter username, e.g. @commentpicker.
