Contest Master V3 Giveaways

Drawing prizes by hand in the comments is tiring: you count participants, check subscriptions and argue about who won. Contest Master V3 takes all that on. The bot collects participants, checks the conditions and picks winners itself. 🎁

According to its developers, a giveaway takes about two minutes to set up. The bot works in channels and groups and supports Russian and English.

What the bot does for you

• Random selection. The bot picks winners, not the organizer, so there are fewer complaints.
• Condition checks. The bot sees whether a participant met the terms.
• Sponsor subscriptions. You can require a subscription to partner channels.
• Limits. The organizer sets a maximum number of participants and prizes.
• Delayed results. You can set the draw date ahead, and results post themselves.

Protection against cheating

The big trouble with giveaways is bots that sign up by the thousand and take prizes. Here you get two lines of defense: a web window with a Google captcha and a captcha made of buttons right in the message.

It does not replace common sense, but it clearly cuts script entries and makes results fairer. 🛡️

Joint contests

If several channels give a prize, you do not need ten separate posts. One shared button appears in all sponsor channels, and a participant presses it once.

The participant list can be exported to Excel for free. It helps to verify results or prepare a report for sponsors. 📊

Launching a giveaway step by step

1. Open the bot and choose a language, which you can switch with /lang.
2. Connect the channel or group where the contest runs.
3. Describe the prize and the terms of entry.
4. Set the number of winners and the deadline, and add sponsor channels if needed.
5. Publish the post and wait for the result.

Before launch, check the bot's rights in the channel: it needs permission to post messages and to check participants.

Rules of an honest giveaway

Technology does not solve everything. For a giveaway people remember well, keep to a few simple rules:

• Clear terms. Write what to do and by when.
• A real prize. Deliver what you promised, or the channel's reputation suffers.
• A public result. Show how the winner was chosen.
• The law. In some countries giveaways are regulated, so check local rules.

Who it is for

The bot suits channel owners, shops, bloggers and community organizers who need regular giveaways without manual work. It has a news channel and a support group where setup questions get answered. 🙌

Making a giveaway people want to retell

The prize matters, but it is not the only hook. Think about what followers get besides a chance to win: an interesting post, clear rules, a fast result.

Announce the giveaway ahead, remind people a day before the deadline and publish the result on the day you promised. That grows trust, which is worth more than any single prize. 🏅

Do not overload the terms: the more steps required, the fewer people reach the end. Two or three actions are usually enough.
