The 'Claim your prize' system offers a direct way to communicate with the winners of your giveaways with the aim to provide administrators with an easier way to manage the communication with the winners that have confirmed their prize. By enabling this system, winners have a direct and ordered way to confirm that they accept the prize, and leave their personal details so that the giveaway organizer can then contact them and process the delivery of the prize. 

Note: the system is currently available for the following apps: Facebook Giveaway, Twitter Giveaway, Instagram Giveaway and Multi-Network Giveaway. It is also available for the Pick-a-winner app if the list includes the email of participants.
