Summary
Random Team Breaks now require exclusive use of TikTok Shop's Surprise Set feature with platform-generated randomization. External tools, manual draws, secondary raffles for unsold slots, and off-platform methods are prohibited. Must be trading cards only, live on camera, single session.
Why it matters
Sellers currently using external randomization tools or manual assignment methods must migrate to TikTok's system or cease Random Team Breaks entirely. Non-compliance risks account suspension. This eliminates seller flexibility and may exclude ineligible sellers from offering this break type.
Recommended action
Audit current Random Team Break practices. If using external randomization or manual methods, apply for TikTok Shop Surprise Set eligibility or discontinue this format. Ensure all future breaks use platform-generated randomization exclusively and are conducted live, single-session, trading cards only.
Each buyer receives every card matching their assigned unit pulled during the break.
