Giveaways

Overview

The giveaways feature lets you run prize draws and offer rewards to the members of your server who take part.

For each giveaway, you can offer one of these rewards:

• Experience in the levels system.
• Money in the economy system.
• An item from the inventory system.
• A role (temporary or not).
• A custom reward.

Interacting with a giveaway

Entering

You can enter an ongoing giveaway by clicking the "Enter" button below its details.

Your entry is then counted for the draw at the end of the giveaway.

Leaving

If you have joined a giveaway but no longer want to take part before it ends, you can click the "Enter" button again.

A confirmation is then requested: click the "Leave" button to confirm.

Viewing the participants

If the giveaway's creator allowed it, you can see the list of participants by clicking the giveaway's "Participants" button.

The interface is split into pages depending on the number of participants. You can then click the "Previous" or "Next" buttons, or choose the page number with the "Page" button.

Access to the /giveaway command

The /giveaway command requires the Administrator permission by default.

You can, however, open this command to certain roles or members, regardless of their permissions on the server.

To do so, you can find more information on this documentation page:
