Updated Oct 30, 2026 · 1 min read

In Giveaways, click + New giveaway. This article explains the options of the window.

End on a date

Besides Ends in, you can choose End on a date and time to set a custom end.

The message

  • Button and Button emoji: the text and the emoji of the join button.
  • Message to the winners: what Green-bot says to the winners.
  • Message when it ends: replaces the giveaway text once it is over.

A giveaway has no image.

Who can join

Who can join is Everyone by default. You can add conditions:

  • Required roles: members need One of them or All of them.
  • Roles that cannot join.
  • Time on the server.
  • Account age.
  • Minimum level, from the levels of your server.

Bonus entries

Bonus entries give extra chances to members with a role. They are never a guaranteed win.

Draw and announce

  • Winners must be in the server at the draw.
  • Ping when it starts: pick a role to ping, or No ping.
  • Announce winners by DM: the winners are always announced in the channel too.

Giveaway settings

Click Giveaway settings on the page:

  • Default channel: where + New giveaway starts. You can pick another channel each time.
  • Giveaway managers: roles that can manage giveaways. Without roles, only members with Manage Server can.

Entries and winners

Click Manage on a giveaway to see Entries and Winners. You can search a member. A cancelled giveaway shows that nobody wins.
