# Stop giveaway cheating and reward loyalty (/giveaways/giveaway-fairness)













People cheat giveaways with alts, second accounts made to enter more than once. Age limits and a captcha keep those out. Luck modifiers then give your real members more entries, and more entries means a better chance to win.

These are defaults on **Configuration**, copied into every new giveaway.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Open giveaway Configuration [#open-giveaway-configuration]

    Open your [dashboard](https://tickety.top/dashboard) and pick your server. In the sidebar, under **Giveaways**, click **Configuration**.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Turn away new accounts and new members [#turn-away-new-accounts-and-new-members]

    Under **Entry Requirements**:

        <img alt="Minimum Account Age and Minimum Time in Server" src="__img1" />

    1. Set **Minimum Account Age** in days, hours and minutes: how old a Discord account must be to enter. Brand new accounts are the cheapest kind of alt. Leave it at 0 to turn it off.
    2. Set **Minimum Time in Server**: how long someone must have been in your server. This stops old accounts that join just for the giveaway.

    Both can be up to 730 days.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Add a captcha [#add-a-captcha]

    Under **Captcha Mode**, pick **Web Captcha**, or **Discord Numpad Captcha** 👑. A captcha makes each entry prove there is a person behind it.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Set the luck modifiers [#set-the-luck-modifiers]

    Under **Luck Modifiers**:

        <img alt="Vote Entries, Stack Multipliers and Add Boosted Role" src="__img3" />

    1. **Vote Entries** is on for every server. Members who vote for Tickety on Top.gg get extra entries: 1 for the first vote, then 0.5 for each vote after, once every 12 hours.
    2. **Stack Multipliers** 👑 is off to start with: a member with several boosted roles only gets the best one. Turn it on to add them together.
    3. Press **Add Boosted Role**, pick a role, and drag **Multiplier** between 1.5x and 5.0x. Members with that role get more entries: 2.0x means one extra entry on top of their own.

    The giveaway then lists the boosted roles and their multipliers:

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Save [#save]

    Press **Save Changes** in the bar at the bottom of the page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

When you create a giveaway, the **Access** step has **Boosted Roles Extra Entries**, on to start with. It decides whether that giveaway uses your boosted roles.
