Frequently Asked Questions

Is the draw actually random and fair?

Yes. VK Picker uses a cryptographically secure random number generator and records the seed for each draw. The result page shows that seed and the full entrant list, so anyone can reproduce the shuffle and confirm the winner. You are not asked to take it on trust.

Can I use it for free?

Yes. You get three free picks with no card and no account to start. Each free draw is a real, complete draw, not a preview. Paid plans add unlimited picks, larger comment limits, exports, and saved results.

Do I need to give you my VK password?

No. The tool reads public comments from the post link you provide. It never asks for your VK password.

Does it work for repost contests?

Yes. If your entry mechanic is a share rather than a comment, you can draw from the people who reposted instead.

How does "tag a friend" work?

The tool counts the @mentions inside each comment. Set the number of tags you required, and comments with fewer tags are removed before the draw.

Can I pick more than one winner?

Yes. Draw several winners at once from the same pool, and mark some as backups for winners who do not claim their prize.

Will it handle Russian text?

Yes. Cyrillic names and comments load, display, and export correctly.

My post is private. Can I still use it?

No. The tool reads public posts only. Make the contest post public for the duration of the giveaway so entries can be loaded.

How many comments can it handle?

That depends on your plan. The free tier covers up to [X] comments per draw, and paid tiers raise that limit. The current numbers are on the pricing page.

Can I remove duplicate entries?

Yes. Duplicate removal counts each person once no matter how many times they commented. You can turn it off if you want to reward repeat entries.
