Choose a promotion security level

Understand what Strict, Medium, Low, Off, and Custom do before choosing a fraud-prevention preset.

Security levels provide a quick starting point for repeat-entry and network protections.

Open the promotion builder and select Security → Security Level.

What each level does

LevelEntries allowed per IP addressVPN and proxy blockingBest fit
Strict1OnHigh-value promotions where one entry per household or network is acceptable
Medium3OnA balanced default when a few people may share a network
Low5OffLower-risk promotions where accessibility matters more than aggressive network filtering
OffNo IP limitOffPromotions where Revup's IP-based fraud checks should not be applied
CustomYou chooseYou choosePromotions with a specific entry policy that does not match a preset

CAPTCHA is separate from these presets. If the form contains a CAPTCHA field, it can remain active even when the Security Level is Off.

Choose a level

  1. Open the promotion and select Security.
  2. Review how many legitimate participants may share an internet connection.
  3. Select Strict, Medium, Low, Off, or Custom.
  4. If you select Custom, choose whether to enable IP address limits, set the maximum entries per IP address, and block VPN or proxy connections.
  5. Submit test entries from an allowed scenario before launch.

Your selection saves automatically. Changing a preset replaces the IP-limit and VPN/proxy settings with that preset's values.

Important considerations

An IP address can represent an entire home, office, school, store, event venue, or mobile network. A one-entry IP limit can therefore block different people who legitimately share a connection. VPN and proxy blocking can also affect privacy-conscious participants and some corporate networks.

Choose the least restrictive level that still matches your official rules and risk level. Review invalid entries before drawing or confirming winners.
