Giveaways

Run reaction-based giveaways, control who can enter, and select eligible winners.

3 min readUpdated Sep 27, 2026

Use Giveaways to choose winners from eligible members. Start a simple giveaway in one command, or configure schedules, requirements, role multipliers, templates, and server defaults.

Members enter by reacting to the giveaway message. Discortics removes reactions from ineligible members and checks possible winners again when the giveaway ends.

Start here

Create a giveaway from the DashboardReview every option in one form before posting.
  1. Open Dashboard → Giveaways.
  2. Select Create Giveaway.
  3. Enter the prize, channel, duration, and winner count.
  4. Leave requirements empty for your first test.
  5. Start the giveaway and test its entry reaction.

The giveaway creation form

Create a quick giveawayUse /giveaway drop for quick giveaways that end on a required milestone.
  1. Run /giveaway drop prize:Test Prize winner-count:1 channel:#giveaways.
  2. Set a milestone directly in the command (such as at-entry-count: or at-member-count:), or choose one in the drop setup preview.
  3. Select Start to post the message and add the entry reaction.
  4. Enter from a test account. The drop ends immediately once the milestone is reached (or when the maximum safety duration expires).
  5. Use /giveaway create later for schedules or custom entry requirements.

A running giveaway with its entry reaction

Choose what you need

  • Create a giveaway: quick and advanced creation, member entry, editing, ending, and rerolling.
  • Giveaway configuration: requirements, multipliers, schedules, defaults, templates, appearance, and limits.

Before you begin

  • Staff need Manage Server for giveaway management commands.
  • Discortics needs View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links, Add Reactions, and Manage Messages in the giveaway channel.
  • A winner role also needs Manage Roles and must be below the Discortics role.
  • Giveaways can be posted only in text or announcement channels.

How entry works

  1. A member reacts with the configured entry emoji.
  2. Discortics checks the giveaway requirements.
  3. An eligible member's reaction stays on the message.
  4. An ineligible member's reaction is removed and Discortics tries to DM the reason.
  5. At the end, Discortics checks eligibility again before selecting winners.

Removing the reaction withdraws the entry. Reacting again refreshes eligibility and any role multiplier; it does not create duplicate entries.

Common problems

A member cannot enter

The removed reaction means an eligibility check failed. Ask the member to open their DMs for the exact reason, then check required roles, blocked roles, account age, server age, message activity, voice activity, and level requirements.

The giveaway ended without a winner

No stored entry was eligible at the end. Check whether the requirements were too strict or members lost eligibility after entering.

Discortics did not add the winner role

Give Discortics Manage Roles, move its role above the winner role, and confirm the winner role is not managed by another integration.
