Running a YouTube giveaway

A fair draw, and a giveaway that follows the rules

The picker loads the video's public comments and draws winners in your browser with a cryptographic random number generator, so every eligible comment has the same chance. The fairness of the giveaway itself is up to your rules.

01

Write the rules before you post

Say how to enter, the deadline, how many winners, how you'll contact them and where it's open. Clear rules prevent disputes after the draw.

Weak

"Comment to win!"

Better

"Comment your favourite tip by Friday 6pm UTC. 3 winners, announced in the community tab. Open worldwide where legal."

02

One entry per person

Turn on "one entry per person" so people who comment many times don't get extra chances — unless your rules say otherwise.

Weak

Counting 40 comments from the same account

Better

One entry per account

03

Follow YouTube's contest policies

YouTube requires you to write official rules for any contest you run, and to follow its contest policies and local laws. Read them before launching a giveaway.

Weak

A giveaway announced with no rules at all

Better

"Comment to enter — official rules in the description"

Rewrites are illustrative examples, not measured results.

Before you draw

  • Is the entry deadline over?
  • Does the keyword filter match your rules (e.g. a required word)?
  • One entry per person turned on, if that's your rule?
  • Record the draw (screen capture) if you want to show it was fair.
