Add a giveaway to your own website
Giveaway Ninja can run on a website you’ve built yourself. You embed the giveaway with a code snippet and collect entries through email sign-ups, social actions, referrals and custom actions. Purchase entries aren’t built in for custom websites, and access is on request while we onboard each site.
