Twitch Giveaway Tool
Run stream giveaways from your browser — no bots, no extensions. Connect Twitch, set the rules, and pick winners live with a full animated OBS overlay.
What Your Viewers See on Stream
A full OBS overlay that shows entries flying in, a live countdown, and a confetti-packed winner reveal — all synced with your dashboard in real time via WebSocket.
-
Entries fly in as viewers type
When a viewer types your command in chat, an animated pill with their name and avatar pops onto the overlay and flies toward the entry counter. Your audience watches the number climb in real time — proof the giveaway is live and building hype as entries stack up.
Each pill spawns around the counter, pauses for a beat, then zooms in and dissolves — incrementing the count on impact. It turns a text command into a visual event.
-
Timer that builds urgency
The countdown changes color as time runs out — white while there's plenty of time, amber when it's getting close, pulsing red in the final seconds, and a glowing "TIME'S UP" when the giveaway ends.
Your viewers feel the countdown without you saying a word. A progress bar at the bottom depletes in sync, giving a visual sense of how much time remains at a glance.
-
Confetti-packed celebration
When you pick a winner, names cycle through a rapid shuffle before landing on the chosen viewer. The winner card slides in with their avatar, display name, and badges — then confetti bursts from both sides of the screen.
It turns a simple random pick into a moment your chat will clip and share. The animation runs for a few seconds, then fades out cleanly so you can keep streaming.
Copy the overlay URL from your dashboard, paste it as a browser source in OBS Studio or Streamlabs. Set resolution to 1920×1080. Done.

How to Run a Twitch Giveaway
From login to winner reveal in under 2 minutes
-
Log In with Twitch
Click "Login with Twitch" above. You'll authorize the app through Twitch's official OAuth — we never see your password. The tool connects to your channel's chat automatically. -
Set Your Giveaway Rules
Choose your entry command (default: !win), set anti-cheat filters, configure subscriber/VIP weighted entries, and type in your prize name. All settings are saved automatically. -
Start the Giveaway
Hit Start and tell your chat to type the command. Entries appear in real-time on your dashboard. Duplicate entries are blocked automatically — each viewer gets one entry (or weighted entries for subs/VIPs). -
Add the OBS Overlay
Copy the overlay URL from your dashboard and add it as a Browser Source in OBS Studio or Streamlabs. Set resolution to 1920×1080. Your viewers see entries rolling in live and the winner reveal with animation and confetti. -
Pick a Winner
Click "Pick Winner" when you're ready. The tool runs a weighted random selection and reveals the winner with a slot-machine animation. Need a redraw? Hit Reroll — previous winners are excluded automatically.
Everything You Need — Nothing You Don't
All free. No limits, no premium tier, no hidden costs.
Weighted Entries
Subscribers and VIPs get multiplied entries (2x, 3x, or 5x). Regular viewers still have a fair chance, but loyal supporters get better odds. Configurable per giveaway.
Follower-Only Mode
Require entrants to follow your channel. The tool verifies follow status through the Twitch API in real-time. Set minimum follow duration — any follower, 1+ day, 7+ days, or 30+ days.
Bot & Anti-Cheat Filters
19 known bots auto-excluded (Nightbot, StreamElements, Moobot, etc.). Add custom exclusions, enable subscriber-only mode, or exclude moderators. Multiple layers of protection.
Multi-Winner & Reroll
Pick 1–10 winners per giveaway. Winners drawn sequentially — each pick excludes previous winners. Reroll instantly if someone doesn't respond. No double-picks.
Winner Claim System
Optionally require winners to type !claim within a timeout (30–120 seconds). If they don't respond, the tool auto-rerolls up to 3 times. Countdown shows on the overlay.
Overlay Customization
Full theme editor — colors, 60+ Google Fonts, border radius, transparency, card shadows. Position the bar anywhere on screen. Upload your logo. Changes sync to OBS instantly.
Chat Messages & Reminders
Auto-announce giveaway start and winner in chat. Periodic reminders during the giveaway. Entry confirmations (throttled). Custom message templates with variables like {name}, {prize}, {count}.
Mod Delegation & History
Let mods control giveaways via chat commands (!giveaway start/stop/draw). Every past giveaway logged with winners, entry count, and settings. All data stored locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Twitch giveaway tool?
A Twitch giveaway tool lets streamers run viewer giveaways during a live stream. Viewers enter by typing a command in chat (like !win), and the tool randomly picks a winner. Our tool adds a visual overlay for OBS that shows entries and winner reveals on stream — something most chat bots can't do.
Is this giveaway tool really free?
Yes — completely free with no limits. No premium tier, no entry caps, no feature restrictions. The tool runs in your browser and syncs through Cloudflare, so there's no server cost to pass on to you. Built by kudos.tv as a free resource for the streaming community.
How do viewers enter the giveaway?
Viewers type a command in your Twitch chat — the default is !win but you can change it to anything. The tool listens to your chat in real-time and registers one entry per viewer. Duplicate entries from the same user are blocked automatically.
How does the anti-cheat system work?
Multiple layers of protection: follower verification (with minimum follow duration options), a built-in filter for 19 known bots, subscriber-only mode, moderator exclusion, custom username exclusion lists, and entry caps. All filters are optional — use as many or as few as you need.
How do I add the giveaway overlay to OBS?
Click "Copy Overlay URL" on your dashboard. In OBS Studio or Streamlabs, add a new Browser Source, paste the URL, and set the resolution to 1920×1080. The overlay connects via WebSocket and updates in real-time — entries, winner animations, and confetti all show on stream automatically.
What are weighted entries?
Weighted entries give subscribers a higher chance of winning. Setting a 3x multiplier means each sub's entry counts three times in the random selection. If there are 100 non-subs and 10 subs at 3x, the pool has 130 entries — each sub has a 3/130 chance vs. 1/130 for non-subs. A fair way to reward loyalty.
Where is my giveaway data stored?
All giveaway data — settings, history, and uploaded logos — is stored locally in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is sent to our servers. The only data that passes through Cloudflare is the real-time overlay sync (entry list and winner state), which is ephemeral and not logged.
Can I customize how the overlay looks?
Yes. The Overlay tab has a full visual editor with live preview — customize colors, choose from 60+ Google Fonts, adjust border radius, transparency, shadows, and position the bar anywhere on screen. Upload your logo and it appears on the overlay. Pair it with a twitch overlay package from kudos.tv for a fully cohesive stream look.
