RandomGame: Telegram Giveaways

You run a channel and promised your audience a giveaway. Now you have to collect entrants, check subscriptions, pick a winner and avoid comments asking whether the draw was rigged. RandomGame is built for exactly that job. 🎲

It is a randomizer for giveaways in Telegram and VK. The bot starts with /start and runs as a mini app.

One tool for two platforms

The main difference is that a giveaway can run on both Telegram and VK. Subscription checks work on each platform, so if your audience is split you do not need to find two different tools.

If a project has both a channel and a community page, the conditions can be shared and entrants gathered in one place.

How a giveaway is configured

According to the service website, the organizer chooses the rules:

• Ending. By number of participants, number of tickets or by time.
• Access. Open to everyone or private.
• Winner. Picked automatically or by hand.
• Helpers. Channels can be delegated to other organizers.

That lets the draw fit the format, from a quick evening contest to a week-long promotion. ⏱️

Subscription as the entry ticket

The most common giveaway condition is subscribing to a channel. The bot checks it for you, so there is no manual list comparison. Subscriptions are verified in both Telegram and VK.

For this the bot usually needs rights in your channel. Grant exactly the rights the setup asks for and nothing more. 🔐

Numbers after the finish

The service shows participant statistics, and the data can be exported for analysis. That helps you see where the audience came from and how many people stayed after the contest.

The website also mentions protection against fake accounts. Check the service itself for how those mechanics work.

Running a draw step by step

1. Open the bot and send /start.
2. Add the channel or community where the draw will happen.
3. Set the prize, deadline and entry conditions.
4. Publish a post with the participation button.
5. When it ends, pick the winner and message them.

Making the contest believable

A randomizer guarantees nothing on its own, because trust comes from the organizer. Write the rules in advance: deadline, number of prizes and how the winner is chosen. 📌

Announce results publicly and keep proof, such as a screenshot or screen recording. The internet is full of fake giveaways where the winner is known beforehand, and audiences can sense it.

Two more tips: never ask entrants for payments or card details, and never ask for codes from messages. An honest contest needs only a subscription, a reaction or a button press. ⚠️

Who it is for

RandomGame fits channel admins, bloggers, shops and communities that run promotions. For a one-off draw among friends a simpler method is enough, but once your audience grows, automation saves hours. 🎁
