Control how often winner addresses must be re-verified based on your contest needs.
The Winner Dashboard Address Verification feature allows your team to control how often an address needs to be verified within a winner’s profile. This setting ensures flexibility based on how often winners participate in your contests and your verification requirements.
Where to Find the Setting
To configure the address verification duration:
-
Navigate to Setup in your main navigation.
-
Go to Contests > Contact-Free Winner Email Form.
-
Select Address Verification.
-
Locate the setting:
“Number of Days Verification is Valid”
How the Setting Works
This value determines how long a verified address remains valid in a winner’s profile. After the set number of days, the system will prompt for a re-verification of the address the next time a submission is made.
Recommended Setup Options
Depending on your contest rules and verification needs, here are two common configurations:
1. One-Time Verification Per Winner
If you only need to verify a winner’s address once, and trust it to remain valid across all future contest wins:
-
Set the duration to 365 days (1 year).
-
Ideal for long-term verification without frequent re-entry.
2. Recurring Verification Based on Contest Frequency
If your contest rules require frequent verification — for example, once every 30 days:
-
Set the duration to 28 or 29 days.
-
This ensures the address resets just before the 30th day, prompting re-verification on day 30.
-
Perfect for contests with daily or weekly participation limits that reset monthly.
Pro Tip
Use shorter verification windows (e.g., 7 or 14 days) if your contests involve frequent prize distribution or if address accuracy is critical for fulfillment logistics.
