Giveaway Campaigns

The Giveaway Campaigns module enables users to start and manage giveaways in a Discord server.

!gcstart

Command Syntax

!gcstart [--channel {channel id/mention/q_name}] [--prize {prize name}] [--winners {# of winners (number)}] [--duration {duration timecode}] [--roles {role(s) id/mention/q_name}] [--max {# of users after which the bot will stop the giveaway (number)}]

Command Description

Starts a new giveaway in a channel (the current channel, if the --channel parameter is omitted). Members can participate by clicking on the reaction that is added by the bot.

If the --roles parameter is used, the giveaway will only select winners among those participants that have at least one of the selected roles at the time of closure of the giveaway. The --roles parameter cannot be used in conjunction with the --max parameter, using both will ignore the --max parameter.

All parameters are optional, the default values (on omission) are:

Channel: Current channel
Prize Name: “Sample Prize”
Winners: 1
Duration: 1 day (24 hours)
Roles Restriction: None (All participants will be considered)
Max: None (Infinite)

Note

Users must still be members of the server at the time of the giveaway campaign end for them to be rolled as winners. Users that are not in the server when the campaign ends will not be considered. Bots reacting to the giveaway campaign will always be ignored.

Examples

!gcstart --prize Free Steam Key --winners 2 --duration 1w
!gcstart --prize Blue Hat --winners 5 --roles @BluePeople @WearingHats
!gcstart --channel #giveaways --prize Free Steam Key to the fastest 5! --winners 5 --max 5

!gcedit

Command Syntax

!gcedit [message id]

Command Description

Opens an editing menu for an existing giveaway in the current channel. The message ID is optional: if omitted, the most recent giveaway in the channel will be considered.

You cannot edit a giveaway duration, channel, list of restricted roles (if applicable) or maximum amount of users (if applicable, refer to the --max parameter).

Examples

!gcedit --prize 2 Free Steam Keys
!gcedit 123456789098765432 --winners 5

!gcend

Command Syntax

!gcend [message id]

Command Description

Immediately ends a giveaway and picks a winner (or more winners) among those that participated. The message ID is optional: if omitted, the most recent giveaway in the channel will be considered.

Side note: You can completely abort a campaign by deleting the campaign message that the bot sent.

Examples

!gcend
!gcend 123456789098765432

!gcreroll

Command Syntax

!gcreroll [message id] [--winners {# of winners (number)}]

Command Description

Picks one (or more, if the --winners parameter is used) new winner(s) for an already ended giveaway. The message ID is optional: if omitted, the most recent (ended) giveaway in the channel will be considered.

You can only reroll up to 10 winners per command run.

This command will not overwrite the existing winners in the original message. It will also keep track of former winners and previous rerolls to make sure that the new winners weren’t already picked in a previous iteration of the command.

Note

Users must still be members of the server at the time of the giveaway campaign reroll for them to be rolled as winners. Users that are not in the server when the campaign is rerolled will not be considered. Bots reacting to the giveaway campaign will always be ignored.

Examples

!gcreroll
!gcreroll 123456789098765432 --winners 5

!gclist

Command Syntax

!gclist

Command Description

Lists all ongoing giveaways in the current server.

!gcreaction

Command Syntax

!gcreaction [emoji]

Command Description

Sets a custom emoji for the giveaway campaign in the current server.

This change only applies to new giveaways: giveaway campaigns that are already running will keep their former reaction setting.

Use with no parameters (no emoji) to show the current giveaway reaction emoji. Use with - as parameter to restore the default emoji: :tickets:

Warning

You must use reactions that are either “global” (Discord native emojis) or present in the server.
