kuba122388 Posted October 10, 2018 #1 Posted October 10, 2018 Why i cant do gleam giveaway? "Sorry throwaway Twitter accounts are not allowed" What i have to do?
Etude Posted October 10, 2018 #2 Posted October 10, 2018 As Mirela mentioned in chat that maybe it is regarding the email that is attached to the Twitter account? Usually one of the most the most trusted email services in terms of verification would be gmail as they have a account creation abuse prevention system.
kuba122388 Posted October 10, 2018 Author #3 Posted October 10, 2018 But I have gmail account! On any other giveaway in other sites on gleam, it was working!

kuba122388 Posted October 10, 2018 Author #5 Posted October 10, 2018 Ok ! I solved it! I had to set my avatar xD. But thanks for help anyway ❤️
lolipant Posted October 10, 2018 #6 Posted October 10, 2018 probably the gleam filter out your twitter account (just create or no activity/post probably get group as "throwaway account")
ScooterPi Posted October 10, 2018 #7 Posted October 10, 2018 I got the same result when trying to enter several giveaways Kuba. The twitter account that I have is not used much. I have a couple accounts I follow, but that's it. The email I use is from yahoo, and shouldn't be an issue. My best guess is that I don't qualify with my twitter account because I don't do much on it. So, it might appear as a 'throwaway account' even though I've had it for several years. Pretty disappointing - no giveaway entries for me since they use the Gleam/Twitter entry method. Non-Twitter users miss out, I guess.
ceastem Posted October 11, 2018 #8 Posted October 11, 2018 @ScooterPi maybe you can just make a new one? i did this because i don't have a twitter account before lol. just set a new avatar pic and email for it and i think gleam will not take it as a throwaway account anymore since it was my problem before. Gleam does not consider it as a throwaway twitter account because of how many times i tweeted or people i follow or people that follow me. At least that's what i think cause as soon as i added a picture, it accepts my entries already. hope this helps!
williamshennie9 Posted October 11, 2018 #9 Posted October 11, 2018 This happened once to me as well, but it seems to not be a problem anymore. I'm not sure what they mean by "throwaway", and they don't have much help available to try and fix this issue
Featured Comment Dan Posted October 11, 2018 Featured Comment #10 Posted October 11, 2018 "Throwaway" twitter accounts are those that have little to no activity on them and are relatively new. Twitter has a grade system that determines the value of an account and unfortunately yours shows the same traits as those accounts that are recognised as "throwaway" or "bot-like" Twitter has a strict policy on follower accounts and if we receive too many of these throw away accounts adding us at once, then we get flagged for botting and such.
