  Sponsored content is not allowed. Giveaways depend on what YOU get out of it; generally, blogs are allowed to give away things that are donated to them, but if you get something donated to give away and also get another to keep, or any money, or any other similar consideration, it becomes a problem.

  I’ll flag this so staff can give you the final word.
