FAQs - Bar Giveaways 

Who Has Access to Giveaways?

Access to the Giveaway feature is limited and is only available to eligible users. It is not a permanent feature for all broadcasters.

You can unlock access to Giveaways if you meet one of the following requirements:

• You are a Partner with Emerald 2 or Emerald 3 status.
• You have an active Golden Crown.
• You won access through a special contest or promotion. In this case, access will only remain active for the period specified in the contest rules.
• You purchased a special VIP Deal that includes Giveaway access for one cycle.
• You are an Official Ambassador.

When is Giveaway access activated?

Activation depends on how the feature was unlocked:

• Emerald 2 and Emerald 3 Partners: Access is activated on the 1st of the month.
• Golden Crown users: Access is activated at the beginning of each new cycle, provided that the required Crown status is active.
• Contest winners: Access is activated for the limited period established in the contest or promotion.
• VIP Deal purchases: Access is activated for the applicable cycle, usually beginning on the 1st or the 15th, depending on when the deal was purchased.

Is Giveaway access permanent?

No. Giveaway access is not permanent unless it is included as an active benefit of your current status.

If you received access through a contest, special promotion, grace period, or VIP Deal, the feature will be removed once the specified access period ends. To continue using Giveaways, you must remain eligible or unlock the feature again through a future promotion.

How do I start a Bar Giveaway? 

You will then choose the amount of Bars and the amount of winners for your Bar Giveaway. Please note that if you do not have enough Bars in your account to match your selection, you will not be able to start the giveaway. Once you have made your selections, you will be able to set your Bar Giveaway Live.

How do I end my Bar Giveaway?

The Broadcaster hosting the Bar Giveaway can decide when to end the Giveaway (after a 5 minute minimum duration), at which point winners will be selected at random.  Please note that you must have a minimum of 10 participants to end your giveaway and draw the winners.

If the broadcast ends before the broadcaster manually ends the Giveaway, the Giveaway will be automatically cancelled and the Bars will be returned to the broadcaster’s account.

UPDATE: the Giveaway will automatically draw winners after 30 minutes. If your audience is not big enough, the Giveaway will be cancelled and the Bars will be returned to your account. 

How do I participate in a Bar Giveaway?

Once a Broadcaster whose broadcast you are currently in initiates a Bar Giveaway, a popup will appear on your screen. You can chose to participate in the Bar Giveaway, or decline.

You must still be in the Broadcast when the Broadcaster ends the Giveaway to be eligible to win.
