Here's a quick overview of the bot protection measures in place on the platform.
1. Turnstile Bot Protection
Under the Access Restrictions tab of your campaign setup, there is an optional setting for Cloudflare Turnstile bot protection. Enabling this setting will protect your campaign from excess bot traffic and ensure entries are real. Cloudflare Turnstile confirms web visitors are real and blocks unwanted bots without slowing down web experiences for real users. This setting should be used in cases where a campaign is leveraging a large prize with extremely high expected entry levels where people may be more motivated to try to spam/use bots to increase their chances.
2. IP Management
Similar to the bot protection, the IP Management section gives you full control over what IPs can or cannot enter your campaign. You can ban or whitelist individual IP addresses or entire IP ranges. If an IP address is both banned and whitelisted, the IP address takes precedence over banning and will be able to participate. Use this when you have known problematic IPs or suspected bots.
3. Spam Protection
In the General Setup>Authentication section of your campaign, you have an optional setting to enable Spam Protection. When turned on, this setting will limit entries based on cookies and IP address, to 20 entries in a 24 hour period
4. Limit Fan Entries
We have also added a Limit Fan Entries section to the Authentication section of a campaign which will allow you to not only limit entries by email, but also by user session. If you toggle this on, it will limit the user to only enter the campaign to the number of times you’ve set as most often times bots will enter with different email addresses from the same IP address.
