Creating a giveaway

From draft to published announcement.


Bao's giveaways are not plain reaction draws: members earn entries by completing tasks, and the draw is weighted by those entries.

Creating

From Giveaways → New, the editor is organised in tabs:

  1. General: title, prize, number of winners, end date, announcement channel.
  2. Announcement: the published message, with a live Discord preview.
  3. Tasks: what participants can do to earn entries.
  4. Anti-fraud: who is allowed to enter and to win.
  5. Winner message: what is published when the results are announced.
  6. Actions: publish, close, reroll, cancel.

Several winners and prize tiers

You can draw several winners, and define prize tiers: the first drawn wins the main prize, the following ones a secondary prize.

Templates

A recurring giveaway (Friday's draw, for instance) can be saved as a template: tasks, anti-fraud and formatting are reused in one click.

The free plan allows 1 giveaway per month. Paid plans have no limit.
