How do you receive an airdrop?
Since the airdrop involves a transfer of cryptocurrencies, it needs the participants to have a cryptocurrency wallet. These are the same wallets where you store Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency that you may possess already. Platforms usually ask for this wallet address at the time of registration for the airdrop.
So once the due date for the airdrop arrives, the company will transfer the promised amount to your wallet address, that is, if you are among the winners of the lot. Note that different platforms may require you to have a wallet based on the blockchain that they employ for their service. For instance, MyEtherWallet is used for tokens built on the Ethereum blockchain, while StellarPort is a web wallet for XLM and Stellar-based tokens. Most of the blockchain projects are built on the Ethereum blockchain.
Hence, you will have to note the blockchain on which the platform is being built, in order to be a part of its airdrop. As you will need a wallet subsiding with the corresponding token that you intend to get for free.
