question: contest is two main entries: 1) make a purchase, 2) refer a client and they are entered when person referred makes a purchase. (person that made the referral did not have to make the purchase, but the person they referred did.) is the second scenario considered an AMOE or does this promotion still require one? Thanks

Let’s say you have the main way to enter giveaway by going to a form to fill out email, then having free additional action entries for visiting page, commenting on post, and the like. Could you add an optional entry action for making a purchase?

If you create a paid subscription which gives access to a list of giveaways but any of those giveaways are free for anyone to enter is that legal?

Can you limit the AMOE to 1 entry per day per entrant?
