Step 3: Let the Bot Do Everything Else

Once your giveaway goes live, Giveaway-Bot handles all the heavy lifting automatically. The bot posts a beautiful embed message in your chosen channel with all giveaway details clearly displayed. Members simply react with the 🎉 emoji to enter – no forms to fill out, no complicated steps. The bot tracks all entries in real-time and updates the message with the current number of participants.

When the giveaway duration expires, winners are selected using a cryptographically secure random algorithm that ensures complete fairness. Every participant has an equal chance of winning (unless you configured bonus roles). Winners are immediately notified via direct message with detailed instructions on how to claim their prize. The giveaway message is automatically updated to show who won, making the results transparent to your entire community.

If a winner doesn't respond within your timeframe (typically 24-48 hours), simply use the /reroll command to select a new winner from the remaining participants. The original winner is automatically excluded from future rerolls, ensuring fairness. You can reroll as many times as needed until someone claims the prize. All giveaway data is saved in your dashboard's history for future reference and analytics.
