How VeriWins Works

Full transparency on the data we collect, how the AI scores giveaways, and how users participate in the verification loop.

What Data We Collect

  • Public post metadata — caption, host handle, post date, media URLs (via official oEmbed / OpenGraph endpoints — no scraping).
  • User-submitted evidence — screenshots, DMs, receipts. PII is auto-blurred before storage.
  • Account info — email, display name, role (consumer / brand / moderator).
  • Activity signals — reports filed, handshakes confirmed, audits requested. Used for Trust Score and fraud prevention.

How We Score "Fake Giveaways"

The Auditor runs a 5-category Compliance check and produces a 0–100 Trust Score with a Traffic-Light status.

  • Payment & Fees (CRITICAL). Any fee request → score forced to 0, status Critical Risk.
  • Legal Disclosure. Official rules, "No purchase necessary", platform release present?
  • Entry Logic. Are entry steps clear and reproducible? Random or arbitrary winner selection?
  • Eligibility. Age, geography, residency disclosed?
  • Platform Release. Disclaimer that Instagram / TikTok / X is not a sponsor.
  • Community Signal. Verified wins boost score (+3 each, capped); reports reduce score (–5 each, capped).

How Users Interact

  1. Submit a giveaway link — paste an Instagram / TikTok / X URL. The Auditor returns a Trust Score.
  2. Verify your win — claimed winners initiate a Handshake; brands upload prize proof (tracking, transfer screenshot).
  3. Report a scam — file a Victim Report with evidence. Anonymous reporting is supported.
  4. Crisis Notice — non-fulfilling brands receive an automated 24-hour Final Notice with a path to consumer protection offices.
  5. Brand Hub — brands claim their handle, view their public Trust Score, and respond to disputes.
