Giveaways

Giveaways let staff run prize draws in Discord, with alt-account checks and a private review of the winners before anyone is announced.

Running a giveaway

1. In the channel where you want it, a member with Manage Server runs /giveaway start with a title, the prize, and how many winners (one by default).
2. Rallyra posts the giveaway with an Enter button. Members press it to join.
3. When you are ready, run /giveaway end. Entries close and Rallyra draws the winners privately. Nobody sees them yet.
4. Review the winners and their risk flags, on the dashboard's Giveaways page or in Discord.
5. Run /giveaway announce to post the winners, or /giveaway reroll to draw a different set first.

Other commands: /giveaway edit fixes a running giveaway's title or prize, /giveaway override lets a red-flagged member back into the draw (see below), and /giveaway cancel cancels it with no winners. If only one giveaway is running, you do not need to give its id (for /giveaway override, a drawn giveaway that is not announced yet also counts as running).

Turning giveaways on or off

Giveaways are on for every server. To turn them off, use the Active switch at the top of the Giveaways page, or the Modules page. While they are off, /giveaway start declines and says where to turn them back on. Giveaways that are already running still finish normally.

Points as a prize (optional)

Add points when you start a giveaway to give each winner that many points. When you announce, Rallyra creates a payout request in your review channel, and the points only move when staff approve it, like every other payout. Points have no cash value.

Alt-account protection

Rallyra checks every entry for signs of alt accounts and shows the result to staff only. Members are never told they were flagged.

• Every plan: Discord checks. Very new accounts, accounts that only ever show up for giveaways, and entries made the instant a giveaway opens are flagged yellow with a readable reason. These flags are advice only: they never exclude anyone by themselves.
• Pro: the entry portal. Turn on Anti-alt entry portal on the Giveaways page. Pressing Enter then gives each member a personal link to a short web page. After they agree, it checks whether the same device and network, or automation tools, were used by other entrants. Accounts sharing a device and network are flagged red and left out of the draw, and the Giveaways page groups them into fraud rings. Staff can always override a flag.
• Letting a flagged member back in. If you know a red-flagged member is genuine (for example two people in one household), press Let into draw next to them in the entrant list on the giveaway's page, or run /giveaway override with the member and Let into the draw. Their red flag stays visible, and Exclude again undoes it. You can do this until the winners are announced. If the winners are already drawn, run a reroll so the change counts. Every override is recorded in the audit log.
• Verified members only. If you use Member Verification, you can make giveaways open to verified members only.

The portal stores no cookies on the member's device and never keeps raw IP addresses or device details, only scrambled codes that are deleted after the giveaway ends. The privacy policy has the details.

The Giveaways page

The dashboard's Giveaways page lists every giveaway. Each one shows its entries, winners, a count of clear, yellow and red entries, the list of entrants riskiest first, any fraud rings, and how many members started and finished entering.

Plans

The Discord checks are on every plan. The entry portal needs Pro. See pricing.
