Giveaway¶
Overview¶
Every now and then we give something away to say thanks for being here. When a giveaway is open, type that giveaway's entry command in chat to get in. A giveaway can have one prize or several. Each prize is drawn on its own, live on stream: the screen switches to the giveaway, the names roll, and the winner shows up on screen and in chat at the same moment. You claim it by saying something in chat before the timer runs out.
!giveaway is the default entry command, but a giveaway can have its own. When one opens, t3r0 announces the command for it, so use that one.
Commands¶
Entering a giveaway¶
Type the entry command to get into the open giveaway. It's !giveaway unless that giveaway was announced with its own. The ! is optional, and anything you type after the command is ignored, so giveaway and !giveaway pick me both work (same for a custom one). If no giveaway is open, nothing happens.
| Available to | Cooldown | Aliases | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyone | None | - |
Example:¶
!giveaway
One entry per person per giveaway, unless that giveaway says otherwise. Typing the command again doesn't add more chances. Some giveaways run on more than one platform (Twitch, Kick, YouTube), and some are Twitch only. Entries close when the first prize is drawn.
Winning and claiming¶
When t3r0 draws, the stream switches to the giveaway and the names roll for a few seconds. Your name lands on screen and the bot calls you out in chat at the same moment. To claim, just send any message in chat before the timer runs out (usually 2 minutes). The timer starts when your name shows, not before. It doesn't have to be anything special, "here!" works.
| What happens | What it means |
|---|---|
| You win | The bot tags you in chat. Send any message to claim. |
| You chat before the timer ends | You're the winner, t3r0 takes it from there. |
| The timer runs out | The prize gets drawn again. |
If nobody claims, that prize gets drawn again. With several prizes, they're drawn one at a time: the next draw waits until the last winner has claimed or their timer has run out.
Nobody wins twice in one giveaway. If you win a prize, or miss your claim, you're out of the running for the rest of that giveaway, so the next draw goes to someone else. Stick around in chat while draws are coming up.
Giveaway options¶
Each giveaway can be set up a little differently. t3r0 will say which ones apply when it opens.
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| Several prizes | More than one prize, each drawn on its own. |
| Prizes per platform | The same number of prizes on each platform the giveaway runs on (Twitch, Kick, YouTube), instead of all prizes drawn from everyone. |
| Entry timer | Entries close on their own after a set time. After that, !giveaway does nothing. |
| Subscribers only | Only current subscribers can enter. |
| Subscriber bonus | Subscribers get extra chances on top of the one everyone gets, and higher tiers get more than lower ones. |
Subscriber checks use your own recent sub or resub. If someone gifted you your sub, the bot may not see you as a subscriber yet.
