❓Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prove to my community that the giveaway draw was 100% fair?▾
Record your screen using OBS or your phone during a live stream. Show the entrant list pasted into the tool, configure the winner count, and hit Spacebar on camera. The client-side cryptographic randomness and immediate particle celebration provide transparent proof of integrity.
Can I draw multiple winners at the same time?▾
Yes! You can specify any number of winners (e.g., Grand Prize, 2nd Place, 3rd Place, and 5 runner-ups). The tool samples without replacement to guarantee that the same person doesn't win twice in the same batch.
How do I handle bonus entries or weighted tickets?▾
If a participant earned 5 raffle tickets, paste their name on 5 separate lines. When "Allow Weighted Multiple Entries" is enabled, each line represents one ticket in the draw pool, increasing their mathematical chance proportionally.
What happens if a drawn winner is unresponsive or disqualified?▾
You can use the "Draw Alternate Runner-Up" button to immediately pick a replacement winner from the remaining unpicked pool without having to start the entire contest from scratch.
Is there any limit to how many participant names I can paste?▾
You can paste lists containing up to 10,000+ names. The shuffle algorithm executes in milliseconds in your browser's local memory with zero lag or upload wait times.
Are entrant names uploaded or stored on your servers?▾
No. Your participant names, emails, and usernames never leave your computer. All processing happens 100% client-side in your web browser, ensuring complete privacy and compliance with GDPR.
