What changed
Whatnot added a new sweepstakes promotion document to its policy archive. The Whatnot National 2026 Sweepstakes official rules establish a single-day drawing event on August 1, 2026, offering multiple separate prize drawings conducted during a livestream, with prizes including a 1987 Porsche 911 (or $80,000 cash alternative) and other items. Entry is free and limited to eligible US residents aged 18 or older, accessed through the Whatnot mobile app's in-app giveaway feature during the livestream.
Why this matters
The updated policy adds a new promotional sweepstakes event. Eligible US residents aged 18 or older can enter free drawings during a single livestream on August 1, 2026, using the Whatnot mobile app's in-app giveaway feature. Entry is limited to one per person per drawing, and prizes include a 1987 Porsche 911 (or $80,000 cash alternative) plus additional items. The terms specify that purchase is not required to enter, and the sweepstakes is void in Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories.

What changed
Whatnot revised its Influencer Engagement Agreement Terms across multiple jurisdictions to redirect dispute resolution from local courts to mandatory arbitration under the platform's main Terms of Service. Previously, influencers could bring claims in California courts (US version) or Irish courts (EU versions); the updated terms now require all disputes to be resolved through arbitration as specified in Whatnot's Terms of Service, including mandatory class action waivers. This eliminates the option to pursue claims in court except where the Terms of Service explicitly permit otherwise.
Why this matters
The updated terms establish mandatory arbitration as the exclusive forum for resolving any dispute arising from the influencer agreement, platform use, or relationship with Whatnot. Influencers can no longer bring claims in court, except where the Terms of Service expressly permit court proceedings. The terms also incorporate class action waivers and jury trial waivers from the main Terms of Service. This means disputes over payment, content rights, account suspension, or other disagreements must be resolved through individual arbitration rather than litigation or class actions.
