Terms and Conditions

Welcome to PodLottery, a cooperative promotional experience created, owned and run by PodPros Productions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“PodPros”) having a business address at 7643 Gate Parkway, Suite 104-30, Jacksonville, FL 32256 (“PodLottery”). PodPros operates several websites and has paid and free subscriptions to various offerings. By participating in PodLottery, you understand and agree to these Terms and Conditions as stated in this policy (the “User Agreement”) along with all terms as set forth in our Privacy Policy (see below). You agree that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age.

This User Agreement is effective as of October 21, 2022 and thereafter. We reserve the right to modify this User Agreement without notice to you other than updating the effective date. Your continued use of PodLottery after a date as set forth here, constitutes your continued agreement to this User Agreement.

Firstly, understand that PodLottery is merely a brand name and not a true lottery. There is nothing to buy, and there is no way to gain entry into our drawings through a ticket purchase. Moreover, there is no tangible monetary value to anything won and no monetary value to any prize. Moreover, every member is able to obtain a completely requirement-free entry into each drawing. What better way to obtain integrity-based listens and reviews of your podcast than from other podcast hosts, who understand the need for such reviews. By joining, your commitment is to listen to and review other podcasts, which may even give you valuable insights into how to improve your own podcast and provide ideas for features you can incorporate into your show. In return, you will be gaining the benefits of a community that will also listen to and review your podcast and provide you with additional valuable critiques as well as ratings boosts. We’ve just added the fun!

PodLottery works according to the following:

Once you’ve decided this is for you as a podcast host (you must have a podcast that you want reviewed and have the authority to request the reviews from this community in order to join), you first sign up by providing the following requested information: name, podcast name (which is the Apple display name – at this time, your podcast must be available through Apple Podcasts), email – which MUST match your podcast RSS, and provide a desired password, and you will have created your account. You will be sent a verification email and you then will enter the verification code sent to you to activate your account. In doing so, you will also be checking a box to agree to this User Agreement. Your podcast will then be a PodLottery Podcast eligible for you to win reviews in our drawings.

PodLottery will choose at least one random winning number and all eligible entries that match the winning number(s) will then be announced as winner(s) and the winner’s Apple Podcast link will be posted for others to then listen and review. Based on your winning numbers, your podcast will be assigned for a certain number of reviews matching your win total. You may not listen to and review your own podcast, but you should listen to and review a podcast winner that is assigned to you to review. Each time you listen to and review a podcast, you will earn one additional entry into subsequent drawings. You agree that for each podcast for which you provide a review, you will actually listen to and provide a genuine, thoughtful, and unique review and you will not simply have a ‘canned’ review that you provide for each review, or a template that you change one or two things. You will provide a review that you would expect for when your podcast is being reviewed.

The odds of being chosen in any given drawing are determined by the number of winning numbers we choose to select and the number of entries you choose to enter in that drawing. You may choose to enter any number of entries up to a maximum of five that you have in your bank. Entering one entry gives you a chance to have one winning number, and if successful, you will win the number of reviews assigned to one correct entry in that drawing. If you choose to submit two entries, you would then have two chances to win on one winning number, and one chance to win on correctly predicting both winning numbers. The more entries you enter, the greater your chances of obtaining one winning number, or two or up to five winning numbers or the number we choose to draw in that drawing. Prior to each drawing, the exact odds chart for that drawing will be displayed on your dashboard. All drawings are completely random and having won in an earlier drawing does not alter your chances of winning in any future drawing. Additionally, anyone else winning in any given drawing has no effect on your chance of winning. However, we may adjust the number of reviews assigned to any winning combination to keep the reviews flowing at a desirable rate (we typically like the number of reviews won in any given drawing to be somewhere between 40% and 115% of the total member accounts active). If you do not provide a review in the stated timeframe prior to the next drawing, you will not earn another entry into the next drawing (and the review may be assigned to another member to earn such entry). Leaving a bona fide review as described herein will automatically gain one eligible entry into the next drawing, there is nothing else for you to do other than post your legitimate review and set your choice of number(s) for your chosen number of eligible entries. PodLottery will have access to verify that you actually listened to the podcast that you are reviewing and that your reviews are in compliance with this User Agreement. The countdown to the next drawing and deadlines to post reviews to obtain your entries will also be available to view on your dashboard. There is no monetary value to an entry into any drawing and they may not be purchased, traded, or redeemed. We have no obligation to continue drawings through any particular time period and we will offer PodLottery solely according to our discretion and at our will. If you win any particular drawing, your podcast will be eligible for the number of reviews won until completed, but you may not defer your win to a time frame of your choosing.

By creating an account in PodLottery, you are not changing any other subscription with any other PodPros offering, paid or free, and you will still be required to maintain those other offerings and fulfill those obligations according to their terms and conditions.

Please feel free to refer other podcast hosts to create an account. If they create an account, and list you as the referral who told them to join, you will gain one extra entry into the next drawing automatically.

PodLottery provides a Settings page where you can set your preferences, opt-out of notifications, navigate to any particular page of our site, or delete your account, which you may do at any time, but you will forfeit any entries you have accumulated at that point and your podcast will no longer be eligible to be reviewed by our members through this program. We may suspend or delete your account at any time in our sole and absolute discretion if you violate any part of this User Agreement.

PodLottery is open to all podcast hosts, except where prohibited by law. PodLottery reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and/or modify this program, permanently, or for any particular drawing, if any problem occurs that might affect the administration, security, or proper play of the promotion.

By joining the PodLottery community, you agree that you are releasing and holding harmless PodPros from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in PodLottery or the ramifications of any review(s) left for your podcast. You are not eligible to receive anything in lieu of your podcast link being posted for the purpose of obtaining reviews as a result of your winning number in any particular drawing. Such prize is deemed and agreed to have no monetary value. Despite any member winning any number of reviews in a particular drawing, PodLottery reserves the right to not assign reviews to be done, and/or, remove podcasts from our platform, in its sole and absolute discretion, in order to protect the integrity of the process (i.e., if it suspects abuse of the system or process).
