    Hi @xfighter,

    if someone has more than 1 entry, than it means that, that person has shared it elsewhere and got another person to join (thus giving you a larger email list).

    I am currently working on a complete random solution for version 2.10.0. I have just a few other tweaks to do and then I’ll push it online. Working on some GDPR parts and a way to add custom share methods.

    The new update, 2.10.0, should fix that by using the second type of winning.

    By using the second type of winning?
    “Limited” or “Simple” with “Entries only give a higher chance of winning”?

    And how big is this higher chance?

    Does Limited affect chance of winning or only limit total amount of subscriber entries?

    Thanks.

    Hi @almandareo,

    the “Limited” giveaway only limits how much subscriber will be able to sign up. Since on such giveaway, we don’t collect entries, all have the same chance of winning.

    Higher chance is more random. On the basic algorithm, more entries win, always.

    On the second type of win algorithm, we just choose random winners from the pool of subscribers. If you have more entries, you have more chance, for example:

    subscriber A has 3 entries
    subscriber B has 1 entry

    The pool consists of A, A, A, B subscribers. As you can see, subscriber A has a higher chance of winning but subscriber B still can win.
