• Multiple accounts: creating two or more Facebook or VietLinker accounts to submit extra entries beyond the 3-per-day limit.
• Bot / scripted entries: automated submissions, Facebook auto-posters, or any tool that simulates human entry.
• Shared IP abuse: more than 5 different Sponsor accounts registering from the same IP address within the same calendar day.
• Image fraud: reposting another user's screenshot; edited or photoshopped screenshots; AI-generated fake screenshots; screenshots that hide or alter the VietLinker AI logo or "Powered by Grok" badge.
• Ticket-number collusion: coordinated picking of consecutive numbers or trading ticket numbers between accounts.
• Facebook post manipulation: posting and immediately deleting, restricting audience to Friends/Private after approval, or removing hashtags/@tag after the ticket is issued.
• Misrepresentation: false name, false state of residence (to bypass NY/FL/RI exclusion), or false date of birth (to meet the 18+ requirement).
Sponsor is the sole arbiter of what constitutes abuse. Appeals may be sent to sweepstakes@vietlinker.com within 7 days of ticket void notice.
