The confirmation email did not arrive
An entry only counts once the confirmation link is clicked. If the email is missing, check the spam and promotions folders first, then search your mailbox for the sender domain, then request a new confirmation — in that order.
Five checks, in order
1. Spam, junk and the promotions tab — confirmation mail lands there most often. 2. Search the whole mailbox for the sender domain instead of scrolling one folder. 3. Check the address you typed for a typo such as .con instead of .com. 4. Wait a few minutes: delivery is usually instant but a provider can delay it. 5. Only then enter again or request a new confirmation; the newest link is the valid one.
Why mail gets filtered
Mailboxes filter on sender reputation, not on content alone. A brand-new sending domain, a strict corporate filter, or a full mailbox can all silently hold a message. Adding the sender to your contacts before the next drop is the single most effective fix.
How PrizePop handles it
PrizePop sends from its own verified domain, sends at most two reminders if an entry stays unconfirmed, and stops immediately once you confirm or unsubscribe. Every message carries a one-click unsubscribe link on the same domain.
Frequently asked questions
- Does an unconfirmed entry count?
- No. Only confirmed entries go into the draw pool.
- Can I confirm after the entry window closed?
- No. The pool is fixed at the published closing time, so confirm well before the deadline.
- Will entering twice help?
- It only resends the confirmation. Duplicate entries for the same drop are merged, not counted twice.
