GiveawayBot

Giveaways with several prizes, reaction entry or a hand-picked pool, timed endings, and announced winners.

BetaDiscord

Run a giveaway two ways. Reaction entry posts an embed, members react with 🎉, and the bot ends it on time, announces the winners in the channel, and messages them too. Pool entry draws instantly from people you pick. Several prizes per giveaway, a per-server blacklist, and the ability to pull an entry are built in. No privileged intents are needed.

Setup

Invite the bot. It needs to send messages and add reactions. Manage Messages is optional and only matters if you want to remove someone’s entry.
The server owner can start right away with /giveaway create. To let a role run giveaways, use /giveawaybot addadmin.

Good to know

Durations in the custom box look like 10m, 2h, or 3d. Winners are always listed and mentioned in the channel when a giveaway ends; the DM is a bonus for those who allow it.

Commands

Anyone can use the first group. The second is for the people who run the server.
