Is it ok to give away a prize through a Facebook ad?

    I have a review website. I have a prize of a tablet that I want to give away to a random user who submits a review. I wanted to promote this through an ad on Facebook which would ask users to visit my website and submit a review to be in with a chance of winning a tablet.

    Is that ok to do? Also is it ok that the ad I would have on Facebook would contain an image containing text which explains the competition and shows the prize?

    Hm, in my opinion i won't do that.

    People will submit review if they need it (either they are satisfied or really dissapointed about the products/services). I'm afraid that you might get lots of fake review because they just want to enter the competition.

    Yes, I understand your concerns about the quality of reviews. It's a new site and I want to build some content. But I will only publish genuine and constructive reviews. The terms will state that only published reviews will be valid for the competition.

    But my question more so relates to Facebook. Would I be breaking any rules by publishing and advertising this competition on facebook?

    "Unless something go wrong and you get some report from them"

    Would you have examples of things that could go wrong that I could get a report for? If you mean like a fake competition with no prize then that wont be the case for me. The competition is genuine and I already have the prize I'll be giving away

    There is no legal reason for not doing it, plenty of people gives away prices through ads campaign, but I share the point of view of those who are saying it doenst have any sense to get fake reviews.
