# Twitch giveaway bot with chat entry and a panel on stream

Free Twitch giveaways: chat enters with a keyword or on the web, mods draw from chat, winners confirm in time, and a panel shows it all on stream.

## Set it up in four steps

A giveaway takes four steps, **Prize**, **Entering**, **Winner** and **Review**, and nothing reaches chat until you open it.

- **Prize:** name it, add cover art, and choose how many winners. Hand it over in chat, or on a claim page where the winner signs in and collects a key or a gift link.
- **Entering:** a keyword such as `lucky`, the giveaway's own web page, or both. Keep it to followers, chosen roles or a watch-time minimum, charge loyalty points per ticket, and give subs, VIPs or regulars better odds.
- **Winner:** the winner types a confirm word, `!claim` to start with, within the time you set, or someone else is drawn. Or skip the confirmation.
- **When:** open and close it yourself, or on a schedule.

## Your mods run it from chat

| Command | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `!giveaway open` | Opens a giveaway |
| `!giveaway close` | Stops entries |
| `!giveaway draw` | Draws the winners |
| `!giveaway reroll` | Redraws a winner |
| `!giveaway confirm name` | Confirms a winner for them |
| `!giveaway` | Says where the giveaway stands |

Each command is its own flow, so you can change one, or let VIPs draw too, without touching the rest. Only you can cancel a giveaway, which refunds the points. [Run it from chat](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaways#chat) lists every option.

## On stream

A **Giveaway** layer on your overlay shows the prize and its cover art, the keyword, the entries as they come in, and the winners waiting to confirm. It can draw with a spinning wheel of entrants. [Put the giveaway panel on stream](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaways#panel) shows how.

## Common questions

**Is it free?** Yes. Giveaways are included on every plan, including several winners and entering from the web. See [what your plan includes](https://bloopbot.com/docs/what-your-plan-includes).

**Can viewers enter without typing in chat?** Yes. Tick **Web** and the giveaway gets its own public page where viewers sign in with Twitch and enter. [Let viewers enter from the web](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaways#web).

**Can I give away a list of keys one at a time?** Yes, with a [prize pool](https://bloopbot.com/docs/prize-pools): a moderator command hands out the next key, no draw needed.
