How do I run a giveaway on my live stream?
Giveaways are one of the most reliable ways to grow a channel — but only if the draw feels fair and you’re handling entrants’ details responsibly. Here’s how to run one cleanly, live on stream.
Collect entries
Gather your entrants — for example a list you import — into a prize draw under the Engage section. Entry data is encrypted at rest, so names and contact details aren’t sitting around in the clear.
Draw a winner, live
Run the draw when you’re ready and reveal the winner on an engagement overlay so your audience sees it happen in real time rather than taking your word for it. The result is recorded and the winner’s details are emailed to you.
Clean up afterwards
Once the draw is done and the prize is handled, the entrant data is purged — you’re not left holding a spreadsheet of personal information you no longer need.
Frequently asked questions
Is the draw fair and random?
Yes. The winner is drawn at random from your entrants and the result is recorded, with the reveal shown live on an overlay.
What happens to entrants’ personal details?
Entry data is encrypted at rest and purged after the draw is complete, so you don’t retain personal information you no longer need.
Can my viewers see the winner drawn live?
Yes. There’s an engagement overlay that reveals the winner on stream in real time.
