Giveaways

Run a timed giveaway with entry requirements, prize roles and automatic winner draws.

Giveaways

The easy way

,giveaways

Aliases: giveaway, gw. This opens a guided setup: pick the channel, then fill in duration, number of winners and the prize in one form. Nobody else sees the menu, and it expires after three minutes.

You need Manage Channels (real or fake) to finish the setup.

Doing it in one command

,giveaways start #giveaways 2d 3 Winner gets a nitro month

Alias: s. Needs Manage Channels, and bore needs to be able to post in that channel.

Argument	Detail
Channel	Where the giveaway message goes
Duration	From ten seconds to ninety days. `45m`, `12h`, `1d`, `2d 6h 30m` all work
Winners	One to fifty
Prize	Up to 200 characters

The giveaway message gets a green Enter button. Pressing it enters, pressing it again leaves. The entry count on the message updates as people join.

At the end, winners are drawn at random, announced in the channel with a ping, and messaged directly.

Managing live giveaways

,giveaways list
,giveaways end <message link>
,giveaways cancel <message link>
,giveaways reroll <message link> 2

end and cancel take a message link or just the message ID. end draws the winners immediately, cancel calls it off with none. reroll works on a finished giveaway and prefers people who have not already won.

Ending, rerolling and editing need Manage Channels, unless you are listed as a host of that giveaway. A server can have up to twenty five giveaways running at once.

Changing one after it started

Everything below is under ,giveaways edit and takes the message link first:

,giveaways edit prize <link> A year of nitro
,giveaways edit winners <link> 5
,giveaways edit duration <link> 6h
,giveaways edit color <link> #eb458e
,giveaways edit description <link> Two weeks of nitro for three people.

`prize`	New prize text, up to 200 characters. Also `name`, `rename`, `title`
`description`	Up to 1500 characters. Also `desc`

`thumbnail`	Same rules
`roles`	Roles winners receive. Also needs Manage Roles
`requiredroles`	Who may enter. One of the listed roles is enough
`minlevel`	Minimum level, 0 to 500. Zero means no minimum
`maxlevel`	Maximum level, 0 to 500. Zero means no ceiling
`age`	How many days old an account must be, 0 to 3650

You can only edit a giveaway that is still running.

Entry gates worth using

Gate	Command	Good for
Role only	`edit requiredroles <link> @Subscriber`	Partner or paid communities
Level only	`edit minlevel <link> 10`	Rewarding regulars, blocking drive-by accounts
Account age	`edit age <link> 30`	Stopping alts made for the prize
Time in server	`edit stay <link> 7`	Stopping people who join for one giveaway
Booster prize	`edit roles <link> @Winner`	Hands out a role along with the prize

Level gates need Levels to be switched on, because bore has to be tracking XP to use it.
