\"Improve<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have a Facebook page, you can begin entering sweepstakes posted on company pages. Many of these are not sponsored or hosted by Facebook and that is important to remember. Just because you see a Sweepstakes on a page, it does not mean that sweepstakes is sponsored by Facebook or even the company posting it.<\/p>\n

There are a few things you need to know if you plan to add sweepstakes on Facebook to your entry methods. Here are our best tips and some things that we often see in these sweepstakes.<\/p>\n

You Might Be Asked to Install and App<\/h2>\n

Some entries require an app to be installed so you can play a game<\/a> or so they can have access to your information. Common requests include basic information, which allows them to see your publicly-displayed information, and the ability to make posts on your wall. Use your judgment when sweepstakes ask for lots of access to your account. Generally, you can still enter but not give them access to the ability to post to your wall. This prevents them from posting anytime they want to your Facebook wall and to your Facebook friends.<\/p>\n

After the sweepstakes is over, you can remove Facebook applications<\/a> that you no longer need which is always a smart thing to do.<\/p>
