What Are Form-Filling Progams?
Form filling programs, also known as form fillers, help you enter sweepstakes more quickly by taking some of the work out of filling out all of the information on the entry forms. The advantages of using a form filling program include:
- You save time typing out all the fields on the sweepstakes entry forms.
- You reduce the risk of making a typo that can make it difficult or impossible for a sponsor to reach you if you win.
- Form fillers reduce the amount of typing you have to do, which can help protect your hands and wrists from medical conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.

Can You Be Disqualified for Using Form Filling Programs?
Not all sweepstakes allow you to use form filling programs to enter. However, most of the time, the rules against automatic entries are referring to services that enter for you, without you having to visit the sweepstakes sites.
