Thanks for creating the GA.
Maybe think about a min. level requirement for your public GAs, it would be sad to feed the autojoiners with your games.
One of my members and i catched in the last weeks 76 autojoiners.
The catched ones are/were 50x level 0-1 (19 perma suspended), 26x level 2-8 (9 perma suspended).
98 autojoiner tickets are still open.
Besides that got 26 multiaccounters and regifters catched in the last few weeks.
You can check accounts/your winners with:

If someone have red marks there request a reroll and put the link(s) into the support ticket.

Yes, a few low level accounts are normal users, without a doubt, and it is sad that they get hit too when someone set a min. level for his public GAs but it isn't possible to avoid it when the extreme majority of the level 0 and 1 accounts are autojoiners, multiaccounters and accounts with unactivated wins.
Have a great week

Thanks for telling me, I'll keep this in mind in the future!
I don't really care in this case as this is a $0.53 game that I bought with free wallet funds that I got from Humble, but I did close down a Skyrim LE giveaway that I started and reopened it as a level 1 GA.

Also how do you find autojoiners?

Welcome on sg.
That question is hard to answer because the bad guys would read it too and would optimize their behavior to not be catched.
So lets answer more general as detailed.
If a account enter 24/7 GAs, in lightspeed, maybe write on top -with activated thanks script, that is a part of the autojoiner program- in each of the GAs the same comment (again in lightspeed) and that, mostly, over many years, then you see clearly that it can't be a normal "very active" user.
I am very active, look into my entries stats and if you see someone with 1.5x or 2x my entries in the same timeframe, you know you see, for sure, a autojoiner.
Oh and i recommend, in general, level 2, or higher, for public GAs.
With level 1 you only avoid 20% of the autojoiners but with level 2 you avoid 60%.
