Get new sweepstakes before processing
Before new sweepstakes are entered, the SweepsWizard web site is checked for new sweepstakes that have been added since you last checked. Any new sweepstakes that are available for your state and age will be downloaded. If a sweepstake's category is set to automatically include all new sweepstakes, the new sweepstake will be included in the sweepstakes that are entered.
Automatically submit sweepstakes when allowed
When this option is set, sweepstakes that don't require manual entry (based on the contest rules) are automatically entered. If this option is not set, SweepsWizard will stop on each sweepstake after completing the entry form for you and wait for you to press the appropriate button or take the appropriate action to submit the sweepstake.
Exclude sweepstakes that require manual entry
Exclude any sweepstakes that require manual entry (based on the contest rules). Setting this option allows unattended operation.
Unattended - Enter as scheduled
Enter sweepstakes automatically using the schedule set in the Schedule screen. This option is only available to Premier Club members.
Randomize unattended entry times
Adjusts the next entry time for each sweepstake so that it does not start at exactly the same time each time it is entered. This helps disguise the use of an automated entry tool if you desire. Sweepstakes that can be entered more often than daily are delayed up to 10 minutes from the minimum time that they can next be entered. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly sweepstakes are scheduled at random times during their next scheduled day. If your entry schedule allows entry during the prime time of 8:00 am till 7:00 pm, daily and longer sweepstake will be scheduled during this period, instead of during off hours. Note that randomization can cause hourly and 24-hour period sweepstakes to not enter as often is possible because random delays are added between entries.
Try to stay connected to the Internet
Attempts to stay connected to the Internet during the times specified by the Schedule screen by periodically retrieving information from various web sites. It also closes idle message boxes from America Online and other Internet service providers using Northwest Digital's proprietary AlwaysOnLine technology.
