FAQ
FAQ about running a giveaway
How do I start a giveaway in TakiDaki?
Paste a post link from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, or Threads, set the number of winners, and start. TakiDaki collects comments, applies filters, and selects winners randomly. Your first 3 giveaways per day are free.
How do I pick an Instagram giveaway winner?
Paste your public Instagram post or Reels link into TakiDaki. Comments load from the link — no Instagram password. You can remove duplicates, filter by keyword/hashtag, then pick a winner at random. If you own the post, optional Meta Login unlocks the full private comment list for owners only. Share a public certificate link or Stories certificate frames if you want.
How many free giveaways can I run per day?
Free plan: 3 giveaways per day, up to 100 comments each — full randomizer with duplicate filter and certificates (public link + Stories frames). Limits are shared across platforms. For more comments or more daily giveaways, choose a paid plan.
How are winners actually selected?
After comments load, TakiDaki uses a cryptographically fair random algorithm. You can re-run or pick again if needed. Each result can include a public certificate link and Stories-ready certificate frames.
What participant filters does TakiDaki support?
Duplicate filter (one person = one entry; leave duplicates on if multiple comments should mean multiple chances) and keyword/hashtag filter. You can review winners before announcing. There is no filter by number of tagged friends in a comment.
Why would I log in with Meta for Instagram or Facebook?
Optional Meta Login is for post owners. After you sign in officially, TakiDaki can show the full comment list for your publication — information that stays private to the owner. A public link alone is enough to run a standard giveaway without login.
Is TakiDaki safe to use for Instagram giveaways?
Yes. TakiDaki never asks for or stores social passwords. Start from a public post link. If you own the Instagram or Facebook post, you can optionally use official Meta Login to see the full comment list — that data is confidential and shown only to publication owners. Every giveaway can include a public certificate link and Stories certificate frames.
How do I run a social media contest and pick a winner?
1) Publish giveaway rules on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, or Threads. 2) Paste the post link into TakiDaki and set the number of winners. 3) TakiDaki loads comments, applies filters, and picks winners with a fair random algorithm. 4) Announce results and optionally share a public certificate link or Stories certificate frames.
