Requirements and verification reduce alt-account fraud. The bot has to be online when the result is due. ## Why giveaways work[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-giveaway-bot#por-que-sorteios) Giveaways create activity: they bring in new people, reactivate old members and reward those who take part. When they are fair and transparent, they become a growth engine. They pair well with [leveling and ranking](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-leveling-bot) systems, which reward real activity. ## Set up the giveaway[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-giveaway-bot#configurar) 1. Pick a prize your community values. 2. Set the end date and time. 3. Open the giveaway in a channel where entries are visible. 4. Announce the winner publicly at the end. The opening announcement decides how many people enter. Generate the text in [writecord](https://writecord.streethosting.com.br/?utm%5Fsource=streethosting&utm%5Fmedium=site&utm%5Fcampaign=tools&utm%5Fcontent=guia%3Abot-discord-sorteios-giveaway-comunidade) with the prize, deadline and requirements already in it, and reuse the short version for the result embed. ## Fair requirements[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-giveaway-bot#requisitos) Requirements reward people who are really part of the community. Ask for a role, a minimum time in the server or an activity level. That keeps out people who join only for the giveaway and vanish right after, and it values your loyal members. Announce the requirements together with the giveaway. Clear rules from the start head off complaints when the result comes out. ## Prevent fraud[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-giveaway-bot#evitar-fraude) * Minimum time in the server as a requirement * Member verification to block fake accounts * A role earned through activity as a filter * Bot online with automatic restart when the giveaway closes Alt accounts are the biggest enemy of a fair giveaway. Reinforce your setup with [member verification](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-oauth-verification-bot) so that only real people enter. ## Keep people engaged[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-giveaway-bot#engajar) The giveaway is the spark, but the community only grows if there is a reason to stay. Keep the bot up with [24/7 hosting](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/discord-bots/discord-bot-hosting-24-7) and check out the [bot plans](https://streethosting.com.br/en/bots) so your giveaway never fails when the result is due.

At random among the people who entered and met the requirements. Good bots show that the draw was automatic, which keeps things transparent and heads off accusations of favoritism. How do I stop alt accounts from winning? Require things like a minimum time in the server, a role earned through verification or an activity level. Combining member verification with entry requirements reduces the problem a lot. Can I ask for tasks to enter? Yes, within Discord's rules. Common requirements are holding a role, being in the server for a certain time or reaching a certain level. Avoid requiring off-platform actions that violate terms of service. Does the bot need to stay online all the time? Yes. If the bot goes down during the giveaway, closing it and drawing the winner can fail. That is why you should host the bot with automatic restart, so it is up when the result is due. Next step See bot plans 24/7 Discord bots with fast activation and support in Portuguese.
