Where and what
Start a giveaway with a command
Run /giveaway start in the channel with the time (like 2d), the number of winners and a title for the prize.
Want buttons instead of options? /giveaway create opens a panel where you add the rules before you start it.
Choose who can enter
Everyone gets 1 entry. Under Who can enter you can add:
- Requirements members need, like a role or 50 messages after it starts,
- ways to skip them, like a Server Booster role,
- bonus entries for roles you want to reward,
- roles that can't enter at all.
With /giveaway start, the same rules go in the r (requirements), b (skip), m (bonus entries) and bl (can't enter) options.
Who can enter
Only this giveaway gets changes made here.
Save the rules as a preset
Running the same kind of giveaway every week? Save its rules on the Presets tab, and pick the preset when you start one. One preset can be the server default.
With commands, /giveaway preset create makes one and /giveaway preset view opens its menu. Use it with the preset option of /giveaway start.

- eventsOnly the host can end it
Watch it run
Element posts the giveaway with an Enter button and a link to its page, where everyone can see the rules, their entries and their chance.
End it and reroll
When the time runs out, Element draws the winners, posts them in a reply and sends them a DM. To end it early, use End now in its menu on the dashboard, or /giveaway end.
If a winner doesn't answer, Reroll draws someone new, for up to 90 days after the end. On the giveaway page, tick the winners to replace and replace them all at once. With commands: /giveaway reroll.
