# Give away game keys and prizes

Stock keys, links, physical prizes and perks in a giveaway, and let winners claim them from their own claim page.

Updated 27 September 2026

## Before you start

A giveaway can hand its prize to a winner two ways: in chat, the way it always has, or on a **claim page** — a private page for the winner, where they sign in with Twitch, claim, and reveal what they won. A claim page is the right choice for a real prize: a game key, a gift link, something posted to their door, or a perk you owe them — anything you would rather not paste into chat.

- A giveaway, set up as in [Run a giveaway in chat](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaways) — title, keyword, winners, who may enter.
- The **prize vault**. Stocking prizes and choosing a claim page needs a plan that includes it: [your plan](https://bloopbot.com/docs/what-your-plan-includes) shows whether your channel holds it, under **Prize vault**.
- The claim page itself needs no setup — every channel has one, at `bloopbot.com/c/<your channel>/claim`. Chat entry, drawing and confirming still work the way [Run a giveaway](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaways) describes; this guide only covers what changes once the prize is claimed on a page instead of said in chat.
- Handing keys out one at a time, whenever a mod says so, rather than to the winners of a draw? That is a [prize pool](https://bloopbot.com/docs/prize-pools): the same prizes and claim page, awarded with `!keydrop @name`.

> **Chat delivery still works**
>
> Nothing here is required. A giveaway left on **In chat** hands out its prize exactly as before — the winner confirms with a word, and that is the whole exchange. Switch to a claim page only when the prize is something you would not type in chat.

> **Entering from the web**
>
> A giveaway that also takes entries from its own public page always claims on a page too — a web winner may not be in chat to confirm or reveal anything there. [Let viewers enter from the web](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaways#web) covers turning that on.

## 1. Stock the prize

Open the giveaway on **Giveaways**. On its **Prize** step, under **How does the winner get it?**, choose the **Claim page** card. A **Prizes** section appears in the same step, below the choice.

![The setup wizard’s Prize step: How does the winner get it? with the Claim page card chosen over In chat, then the Prizes section — 2 available · 2 winners, Kind, Label and a box for pasting keys, and two stocked TEST keys, each with a masked tail, an Available state and a Delete button.](https://bloopbot.com/docs/screenshots/giveaway-prizes-editor.jpg)

_The Prize step with Claim page chosen: the Prizes section below it, with Kind, Label and a box for pasting keys, and the stocked list showing masked tails and Delete._

1. Pick a **Kind**. **Key (a code)** or **Link (a gift URL)** are pasted one per line into the box — each non-blank line stocks one prize, so ten lines stock ten keys. **Physical** has no payload; the claim page collects a shipping address instead. **Perk (a shout-out, a game together…)** has no payload and no address — the winner just sees the label and your note.
2. Give it a **Label** — what the winner sees before they claim, such as "Steam key: Bloop Raiders" — and an optional **Note**, shown only after they claim.
3. For a physical prize or a perk, set **Quantity** instead of pasting a box of codes; that many identical prizes are stocked at once.
4. Press **Stock prizes** (or **Stock prize** for a single one).

A key or link prize never shows its payload again in the dashboard once stocked — the list shows a masked tail, only its last few characters (`X7Q2`), so you can tell two prizes apart, nothing more. The giveaway won't open until there is at least one **Available** prize for every winner slot; the page counts them for you (**N available · N winners**) and warns when you are short, and the **Review** step lists it under **Before it can open** until you have enough.

An available prize can be **Deleted**, or **Moved to…** another draft or open giveaway of yours — handy when you stocked prizes on the wrong giveaway, or want to split one batch across two — unless the giveaway is running and still needs it for a winner. A claimed prize cannot be moved or deleted.

> **Prizes stay in the vault if you switch delivery back**
>
> Switching **How does the winner get it?** back to **In chat** does not clear anything you stocked — those prizes just sit unused until you switch a giveaway back to a claim page. The page tells you when that giveaway is holding stock it isn't handing out.

## 2. Choose how a winner confirms

On the **Winner** step, under **How does a winner confirm?**, a claim-page giveaway offers a third choice beside the usual two:

- **Say a word in chat** — unchanged: the winner types the confirm word, then claims on their own time within the claim deadline (below).
- **No confirmation** — also unchanged: the winner is final the moment they're drawn, straight to the claim deadline.
- **Claim it on the page** — one step instead of two: claiming _is_ confirming, so there is no separate confirm word or window. Set **Hours to claim** (1 to 168 — up to seven days), which starts the moment they are drawn.

**Claim it on the page** is the mode to use when your winners might not be watching chat — a keyword entry doesn't mean someone's still around to type a word back.

With **Say a word in chat** or **No confirmation**, a confirmed winner then has a separate **Claim by (hours after confirming)** window before the prize itself expires — 0 means no deadline. **If they don’t confirm in time, draw someone else** (or **If they don’t claim in time…**) applies to whichever window is currently ticking, confirm or claim: an unclaimed slot is redrawn and the prize it would have taken stays available for the replacement.

## 3. What the winner sees

The winner's own page is `bloopbot.com/c/<your channel>/claim` — share that link, or point them to it in the winner announcement (see [Flows](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaway-prizes#flows) below). Nothing about your giveaways is on it until they sign in. It is the **Your prizes** tab on every channel page, and a signed-in winner also sees a **Claim your prize** banner at the top of your channel's home page, `bloopbot.com/c/<your channel>`, until the prize is claimed or its time runs out.

_The claim page signed out: a short line explaining what it is, and a single Sign in with Twitch button — nothing about any giveaway yet._

1. **Sign in with Twitch.** This is an identity check only — Bloopbot never asks for anything beyond who they are on Twitch.
2. Signed in, they see every win of theirs on your channel: prizes **waiting for them** (with the prize's label, the time left to claim, and a **Claim prize** button) and prizes already **claimed**.
3. **Claim prize.** For a key or link this is the whole step. For a physical prize, claiming asks for a shipping address in the same form — name, address lines, city, region, postcode and country.

1. Once claimed, a key or link prize shows a **Show my key** (or **Show my link**) button rather than the payload straight away — nothing sensitive sits on the page until they ask for it.

A win still waiting on a chat confirm word is listed too, with **Confirm your win in chat first** in place of a Claim button — the page always shows every win, it just tells the winner what to do next.

> **Revealing is never a one-shot**
>
> A winner can come back and press **Show my key** again later — nothing is hidden after the first look, and a key never expires from being viewed. Every reveal is logged on your side, so you always know how many times a key has been shown and when it was first seen.

## 4. Handle physical prizes

A physical prize's claim collects a shipping address, encrypted, that only you can read.

- On the giveaway's **Prizes** list, a claimed physical prize with an address on file offers **View address** — each view is logged on your side.
- Once you've sent it, press **Mark shipped**. It only appears once an address is on file, so there's nothing to press before then.
- The address is deleted automatically **30 days after you mark the prize shipped** — plan to note down anything you still need from it (a tracking number, say) before then. A prize you never mark shipped keeps its address indefinitely.

## 5. Tell chat where to claim

The **Giveaway** pack's winner-announcement flow only fires for chat-delivery giveaways — telling everyone to type a confirm word makes no sense for a prize claimed on a page. Install its claim-page companion instead:

1. Open **Flows → Add** and search **Giveaway**, or find the flow if the pack is already installed.
2. Switch on **Winner: claim on the page**. It fires on the same **Giveaway changes** trigger as the chat announcement, filtered to **Prize delivery: Prize claimed on the claim page**, and says in chat: "🎁 @$(winner) won $(prize)! Claim your prize at $(claimurl)".
3. `$(claimurl)` is your channel's claim page link — insert it into any flow's chat message from the **Insert…** menu, the same way as `$(winner)` or `$(prize)`.

A flow of your own can also react to **A winner claims their prize** on the **Giveaway changes** trigger — to thank them in chat once they've actually claimed, for instance, rather than when they're drawn.

## What you should see

- The Prizes section lists what you've stocked, with **N available · N winners** and a warning when you're short.
- The giveaway opens once every winner slot has an available prize; it refuses to open otherwise.
- The winner's claim page shows their win, a countdown to the claim deadline, and — once claimed — a way to see what they won.
- Your **Prizes** list shows who claimed which prize, how many times a key or link has been revealed, and a physical prize's shipping status.

## Troubleshooting

- **The giveaway won't open.** Either there aren't enough available prizes for every winner slot yet — the Prizes section says how many you're short — or your channel's plan doesn't include the prize vault. [Your plan](https://bloopbot.com/docs/what-your-plan-includes) shows which.
- **A winner says they can't claim, and the giveaway is follow-locked.** Claiming re-checks the rules a giveaway was entered under. If they've since unfollowed, the claim is refused until they follow again — the page tells them so.
- **A win has disappeared from the winner's page.** The claim deadline ran out. If **draw someone else** was ticked on the **Winner** step, that slot was redrawn and a new winner drawn from everyone who hadn't already won; check the giveaway's **Run** panel for who has it now.
- **A winner's prize changed after a reroll.** A manual **Reroll** on the giveaway only replaces a winner who hasn't claimed yet — once claimed, a slot is done and cannot be rerolled.
- **The winner announcement never mentions the claim page.** You likely still have the chat-only **Announce the winner** flow switched on instead of, or as well as, **Winner: claim on the page** — check both under Flows, and that the claim-page one is switched on.
