Discord giveaway bot
One press to enter, and winners picked at random.
Start a giveaway with /giveaway start or from your dashboard. Members press Enter, and when time is up your bot picks the winners and announces them. It's all set up on one page in BotGhost, the no-code Discord bot maker.
Every setting is free on every bot, from entry rules to rerolls, drops, and prize codes.

How a giveaway runs
From the post to the last reroll, your bot keeps the giveaway up to date in Discord. Press a step to see it play out.
It's posted
Vez uses /giveaway start with the prize, how long it runs, and how many win. Or he starts it from the dashboard. Your bot posts it with Enter, Leave, and Entrants buttons.
Leave the prize out and a form asks for it.

Members enter
Tom presses Enter. Only he sees the reply, with his entries and when the draw is, and the count on the post goes up.
Pressing Leave takes him out again. Quick presses are bundled, so the post is edited at most once every 5 seconds.
Time is up
When the timer runs out, the bot picks 3 winners at random, checks they're still in the server, and replies to the post with a ping for each.
The post itself changes to show the winners and the final count.
Winners claim
Fabian presses Claim prize. Only the winners can, so you know who's still around to get their prize.
Give winners a time to claim, and with prize codes on, each one gets a code privately.
A reroll
Jayce never claims. When the time to claim runs out, the bot picks someone else from the same entries and pings them. A host can also use /giveaway reroll.
A reroll never picks an earlier winner, and works until the entries are deleted, 30 days after the draw to start with.
Who gets in, and how many times
Everyone can enter to start with, once each. Add the rules you want, and members who can't enter are told why, privately.
- Tom presses EnterHe's in, with 1 entryEveryone in the server can enter to start with. Only he sees the reply.
- Tom presses Enter againHe's already inPressing twice never adds a second entry.
- A Server Booster presses EnterIn, with 2 entriesWith Bonus entries giving the booster role +1. They can still only win once.

You set every one of these on the Entering and Winners tabs, server by server.
Every Giveaways setting in the dashboard
Giveaways has one page in your dashboard: six tabs, then its commands and events. A live preview beside the tabs shows the post and the replies as you change them. You set it up server by server, from the server menu at the top.

See the Post tabYes. On the Entering tab, pick roles members need one of or all of, roles that keep them out, members who can't enter, and roles that skip every rule. You can also set an account age, a time in the server, or a number from one of your own custom variables, like a level.
