Sweepstakes & contest administration, handled.

A sweepstakes company, sometimes called a sweepstakes administrator or sweepstakes management company, runs promotions for brands behind the scenes. It sets up the entry experience, writes the official rules, handles any state registrations and bonds, manages entries, selects winners and collects winner paperwork. Revup is a sweepstakes and contest administration company that handles all of this, including contest setup and winner 1099s. You supply the prize and deliver it to winners.

Yes. Revup drafts the official rules from your promotion details and revises them with your team. Your team reviews and approves them before launch. If your promotion needs a state registration or a bond, Revup handles the filing and bonding.

Revup does. We draw and notify winners, follow up with anyone who doesn't respond and handle the back-and-forth until each winner is confirmed. We also collect the claim details and documents your rules require, such as an affidavit of eligibility and release or IRS Form W-9, and issue Form 1099 to winners who need one.

You do. As the sponsor, you provide each prize and deliver it to the winner. Revup coordinates with winners and hands you their confirmed details so you can deliver the prize. Revup doesn't fulfill prizes.

With a self-serve Revup plan, your team builds and runs sweepstakes and contests in the software and handles the rules, any registrations, winners and prizes. With sweepstakes management, Revup handles setup, the official rules, any registration and bonding, and winner coordination, documents and 1099s. Your team approves the promotion, moderates and judges contest entries, and delivers the prizes. Scope, fees and responsibilities are confirmed in a separate managed-service agreement for your promotion.

Yes. Revup administers skill-based contests, including photo and video submission contests, as well as sweepstakes. For a contest, we set up submissions and write the official rules with your judging criteria. Your team reviews entries with Revup's moderation tools, judges them and picks the winners. We set up public voting if your contest uses it, then contact the winners.

A sweepstakes picks winners by random draw, so it needs a free method of entry and, for larger prize pools in states like New York and Florida, registration and bonding. A contest picks winners by skill, so it needs clear judging criteria and a fair judging or voting process instead. State registration is generally not required for skill contests, though your rules and markets decide. Revup handles either format.

Each managed promotion is scoped and priced individually. Price depends on the format, the markets where it's open, whether it needs state registration and bonding, how many winners there are, and if things like contests or public voting are involved. Tell us your plan and we'll put together a quote.

As early as you can, but if you're short on time, call us anyway: last-minute promotions are something we help with. Lead time depends on your markets, prizes and format, and some states set filing deadlines. For example, New York and Florida require registration, plus a bond or trust, for prize pools over $5,000. New York's filing is due at least 30 days before launch and Florida's at least 7 days before. Leave time for rules review and your approvals too.

Your goals, the markets where the promotion will be open, your launch and end dates, and your prize plan, including the number of winners and the approximate retail value of each prize. Brand assets and any existing rules or creative help too.
