I think so, because on the competition winners page here (where I think people have to manually mark that they won) some of them are gleam. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/competition/winners
I've won 2 times with competitions through gleam, including a PC from Gear Seekers.
Proof:

@DemocracyManifest: I've won an international gleam comp - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/597529
Also, won a PC recently from JW Computers via a gleam comp - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/698018
So you can definitely win from a gleam comp. It's just the platform used for entry. There's a chance there'd be suss ones out there just collecting your data tho. But if it's from a reputable brand it should be all good.
I've won a couple through gleam, can confirm it really happens!
woah nice
I've won a monitor and a GMMK pro 75% barebones keyboard both Gleam comps.
Gleam is just an entry mechanism. Companies choose to host competitions on gleam because it offers features like capturing entrants details and answers, integration with social media, randomisation of winners and anti-cheating detection. Whether the company sponsoring the competition pay out in the end is a different matter and gleam does not police that.
Yep. Won an Alienware Keyboard via a Gleam comp
Yes, I’ve won a few
Use Firefox multi-containers plugin ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers ) to force gleam to always open in a "spam" container, and allow gleam to link to a non-main youtube account, and voila, no harvesting of your #shorts watch history.
I tried 3 times (but refused to allow Gleam access) but I did everything else it wanted and it either took the page away where I sign up, or it let me sign up but then said I had 0 entries. I give up.
Thank you, Phalaxis.
One of these entries wants Gleam to have access to your full youtube videos, playlists, and history, which seems a bit iffy. None of the other gleam comps have had that requirement for me.
