Giveaways
Run giveaways on your Fluxer server: set the prize, duration and winner count, add entry requirements, and let Netrcol draw and announce winners.
Topics: giveaway, winner, prize, raffle
Run giveaways from start to finish — collect entries and pick winners automatically.
Overview
A giveaway posts a message that members enter, runs for a set time, and then automatically draws a winner. Create and manage giveaways on Dashboard → Giveaways. Netrcol needs to post and manage its giveaway message in the chosen channel (Send Messages and Embed Links).
Starting a giveaway
Fill in the giveaway form and start it:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Channel | Where the giveaway message is posted |
| Prize | What's being given away (e.g. Nitro, a game key, a special role) |
| Description | An entry condition or short note |
| Duration (minutes) | How long the giveaway runs before a winner is drawn |
Once started, the giveaway message appears in the channel and members enter directly from it.
Managing giveaways
Active giveaways are listed in the dashboard, where you can:
- End a giveaway early and draw the winner now
- Reroll to pick a new winner after it ends
- Extend the duration by adding more minutes
- Cancel a giveaway without picking a winner
When a giveaway ends, Netrcol selects a winner automatically and announces it in the channel.
Tips
- Make sure the duration gives members enough time to enter.
- Use the description to state entry requirements clearly.
- If the winner is unreachable, reroll to draw another.
