Giveaway Experiences
So I just wanna post my experience with the giveaways I've hosted. Overall I've had a ton of fun doing giveaways, and people are usually skeptical about the giveaway when they enter my den because lets face it, most giveaways are scams because they're trust trading. When I go to Jamaa to announce that I am doing a give away the message is, "Rare spike giveaway my den!!  No trust!". Usually, anytime I get a spiked wrist I'll host a giveaway at my den and on average I get about 12 people. What I'll do is have all of them send me a jag, and I'll take the user that the jag was sent from and put it in a random name picker, and have that pick. It's easy and fair to everyone. The only downside is people who get upset that they don't win. Other than that it is extremely rewarding and gives jammers who don't have much a nice little boost to their inventory and confidence

Participating in giveaways is a totally different story. I don't think I have ever been in a giveaway that isn't some sort of scam. Of course, I could always be in one of those live youtube giveaways but I don't feel like whipping out my phone and comment my username because I'm ridiculously lazy. As I'm typing this I'm in another "giveaway" for a spike collar, it's trust (of course, what else would it be?).

I'm sure there are good quality giveaway's out there, like the ones I've begun doing, but the majority are scams.

I personally would not legitimately trust 90% of the giveaways on Animal Jam.
