How giveaways work

Giveaways run on their own page: the Giveaway link in the sidebar opens in a new tab. Entries come in two ways — a keyword typed in chat, or channel points spent.

  1. 1Pick a keyword. Viewers whose message contains it join the giveaway.
  2. 2Optionally turn on subscribers get double odds — viewers with a sub badge enter the pool twice.
  3. 3Hit Start. Entries pile up on stage and you draw the winner whenever you are ready.
  4. 4By default someone who already won in this giveaway is not drawn again — handy when you draw several winners in a row.

Channel point giveaways

In channel point mode viewers type nothing: a temporary channel point reward is created on Kick and viewers join by redeeming it. The reward is deleted automatically when the giveaway ends.

  • Channel points must be enabled on your channel — the mode is unavailable if they are off in your Kick dashboard.
  • Redemptions are held: entries that made it into a draw are accepted, and everyone else gets their points refunded.
  • If you end the giveaway without drawing at all, nobody loses points.
  • Closing the tab ends the giveaway and deletes the reward.
  • This mode is available on Pro and above; chat mode works on every plan.
