Filling out sweepstakes forms over and over can feel like a chore—but what if there was a way to speed things up without putting your entries (or potential wins) at risk? That’s where autofill tools come in. They’re a total time-saver, as long as you use them the right way.
Here’s how to enter smarter, not harder—and keep every entry legit.
What Is Autofill?
Autofill is a feature in your web browser (like Chrome or Safari) or apps that automatically fill in form fields with your saved contact info—like your name, address, email, and phone number.
Most Common Autofill Tools:
-
Chrome or Safari Autofill
-
RoboForm or Dashlane
-
Smartphone autofill systems (Apple Keychain, Android)
-
Sweepstakes trackers with built-in fill options
It’s a simple trick that can turn 10-minute entry sessions into a few quick clicks.
Is Using Autofill Allowed in Sweepstakes?
Yes, in most cases. Basic autofill—like filling out your name and email using a browser—is generally fine. What’s not allowed are bots, scripts, or tools that enter for you automatically or create fake entries.
What Can Get You Disqualified:
-
Automated “submitters” that enter contests without clicking anything
-
Using scripts to enter hundreds of times a day
-
Faking entries with different names or emails
-
Violating a sweep’s “no automation” clause
When in doubt? Read the rules. If it says “manual entries only,” that means you can’t automate the process—but using autofill to manually speed things up is usually A-OK.
How to Use Autofill the Right Way
✅ Do This:
-
Use your own, real info every time
-
Manually click “Submit” for each entry
-
Check your autofill entries for accuracy
-
Enter one time per contest unless it’s labeled “daily” or “multiple entries allowed”
❌ Avoid This:
-
Submitting faster than a human could (sponsors will notice!)
-
Using software that bypasses captchas or rules
-
Signing up fake emails just to boost your odds
Best Day Ever Tip: Play fair, stay real, and trust the process. Most winners aren’t tech wizards—they’re just consistent and honest.
How to Set Up Browser Autofill
In Google Chrome:
-
Go to Settings > Autofill > Addresses and More
-
Add your full name, address, and preferred email
-
Toggle “Save and fill addresses” ON
In Safari (Mac):
-
Click Safari > Preferences > Autofill
-
Check the box for “Using information from my contacts”

Update your contact card with your sweep info
For Smartphones:
Check your device settings under “Passwords & Autofill” to turn on form fill and edit saved info.

Keep It Clean, Keep It Fun

Final Thought: Let Autofill Be Your BFF (But Not a Shortcut to Trouble)
Autofill tools are a sweepstakes lover’s secret weapon—but only when used correctly. Think of them as your entry assistant, not your replacement. Be honest, enter smart, and let those forms fill themselves while you focus on the fun part—winning!
