Yes, daily and weekly gifting limits apply to keep things fair for everyone. Current limits are shown on the gifting screen when you choose a gift.
Gifts you receive are held for a short period (typically 3–7 days) before they become available to claim. Before claiming or converting a gift, you'll also need to complete a quick identity verification, which helps keep the platform safe and fair.
Spotlight is a paid feature that boosts the visibility of your contest entry. You can choose country-wide placement to reach voters in your region, or worldwide placement to reach a global audience.
Participation and Registration
