The Giveaway feature allows you to perform giveaways and raffles within your stream. You specify the item that is being given away, how long it should run for, and how a user can enter into the giveaway. To start the giveaway, simply click the “Start Giveaway” button or use the “!startgiveaway” pre-made chat command where you can additionally specify the item that’s being given away as arguments to the command. After the specified time for the giveaway, a random user will be selected from the entered users to win the raffle. The user will then be notified in chat that they have won and will have 60 seconds to type in “!claim” to win. Otherwise, a new person will be selected.
Users will be able to enter by running !<COMMAND> where command is the one you specified. You are able to set requirements on who can run this command based on their role in your channel and more.
When a giveaway is triggered, an additional set of Special Identifiers are made available for all actions that are part of the various Giveaway commands. The regular set of Special Identifiers for all commands are still the same (EX: $username will be the username of the user who is participating), but these are additional ones you may use.
