Giveaways and terms of participation

Instagram Marketing
#1

Hey guys,

I’d like to start a giveaway on insta and heard, that sharing the giveaway in their story or tagging other people is not allowed.
But I also see huge companies making terms of participation like these.

My questions:

  1. Is instagram doing something about it in general? If so - What is usually happening?
  2. When competitors report my giveaways to instagram, how high is the chance of being banned?

Can sth. beside of instagram happen to me (in a legal context)?

I am happy to hear your experiences

Thank you:)

You should definetely analyze the local law about organizing gambling, as some countries have strict rules and organizing giveaways could be treated as lottery and you may need a license for that. (What is quite absurd)

A lot of people are doing giveaways (also fake ones massively) so I don’t see a reason to be afraid of creating one. Or maybe I’m missing something.
