Giveaways

Run a giveaway

Set the entry rules once, then create the giveaway itself.

A giveaway is a message with a Participate button. When it ends, Tickety picks the winners at random. The rules on Configuration are your defaults: every new giveaway starts with them, and you can change them for one giveaway while creating it.

Your server needs an admin role in Settings before any giveaway can be created. Staff can create giveaways with the admin role, a giveaway manager role, or the Manage Channels and Send Messages permissions.

Open giveaway Configuration

Open your dashboard and pick your server. In the sidebar, under Giveaways, click Configuration.

Configuration under Giveaways in the sidebar

Set who may enter

Under Entry Requirements, open Required Roles and pick the roles a member needs to enter. Leave it empty to let anyone in.

Required Roles under Entry Requirements

Decide about the captcha

Further down, under Captcha Mode, pick one. A captcha is a small check that keeps fake accounts out of the draw.

  • Disabled: members join the moment they press Participate.
  • Web Captcha: they pass a check in their browser. Free.
  • Discord Numpad Captcha 👑: they type a code from a picture on buttons inside Discord.

This one applies straight away, to giveaways already running too.
