    When you get an email that says “confirm your entry” is this just fishing for more social media info for extra entries, or do you need to click something to have a legit entry?

    Click confirm finalizes your initial entry.

    I was confused by this too. Got a message with a subject line that says “confirm your entry for Ifish pro tip-up setup,” which implies that further action is required, but the email has no link to confirm anything and starts with “thanks for entering this week’s ido giveaway,” implying that you’re already confirmed. The only links provided are to IDO social media and the lucky URL to share to get more entries.

    First and foremost. I want to apologize for any confusion the e-mail title has caused anyone. I didn’t catch the contest platform was generating “Confirm your entry” as apart of the email title, and the reason there was not a confirmation link is due to the fact, it wasn’t supposed to be there.

    In regards to how we utilize confirmed e-mails:

    At this point, we are not utilizing this feature and are not requiring entrants to confirm their e-mail to enter the giveaways or be eligible to win.

    This may change in the future. Please know that if we decided to require e-mail confirmation, it will only be used as a filter to verify human entries from bot generated entries. It will most likely be followed up with some sort of a captcha requirement as well.

    Thank you for your patience as we continue to polish our giveaway platform.

    Good luck, Tight lines and Merry Christmas!
