Giveaway Tools

Select random users from your chat room! Perfect for games, giveaways, and interactive fun. CharlesBot offers multiple ways to randomly pick members based on different criteria.

This feature gives you flexibility to choose from:

• People who have tipped
• Everyone currently in your room
• Recent chatters
• Members who enter by typing a specific phrase

Aliases

You can use !random, !pick, or !draw - they all work the same way!

Room Participants

Select random users from everyone currently in your room. This is great for games, choosing someone to give a prize, or just having fun interactions!

Basic Selection

!random room

This picks 1 random premium user from your room.

Pick Multiple Winners

!random room [number]

Need more than one person? Just add a number after the command to pick multiple users at once. You can pick up to 10 people.

Examples

!random room 3
Picks 3 different premium users from your room.

!random room 5
Picks 5 different premium users - perfect for a group game!

!random room 10
The maximum - picks 10 different premium users.

Tipper Selection

Select random users from those who have tipped recently. This is perfect for rewarding your supporters with prizes, shoutouts, or special privileges!

Basic Tipper Selection

!random tipper

This picks one random person who has tipped in the last 30 minutes. It's the simplest way to reward recent tippers.

Pick Multiple Tippers

!random tipper [number]

Want to pick more than one winner? Just add a number to select multiple tippers at once.

Examples

!random tipper 3
This picks 3 different people who tipped in the last 30 minutes.

Custom Time Window

!random tipper [time]
!random tipper [number] [time]

Look further back in time to include more tippers. You can specify the time window using:

• Minutes: 30m, 60m, 90m
• Hours: 2h, 6h, 12h, 24h

Extended Time Benefit

Unlike chat selection (which is limited to 30 minutes), tipper selection can look back up to 24 hours! This means you can include everyone who tipped during your entire show, even if it was hours long.

Examples

!random tipper 5m
Pick 1 person who tipped in the last 5 minutes.

!random tipper 3 6h
Pick 3 different people who tipped in the last 6 hours.

!random tipper 24h
Pick someone who tipped any time in the last 24 hours.

Minimum Tip Amount

!random tipper [amount]+
!random tipper [number] [amount]+

Want to reward your bigger tippers? Set a minimum tip amount by adding a number followed by a + sign. Only members who tipped at least that amount will be eligible.

Examples

!random tipper 100+
Pick 1 person who tipped 100 tokens or more (in the last 30 minutes).

!random tipper 3 500+
Pick 3 different people who tipped 500 tokens or more.

!random tipper 5 50+
Pick 5 people who tipped at least 50 tokens.

Combining All Options

!random tipper [number] [time] min [amount]

For maximum control, you can combine all the options: how many winners, time window, and minimum tip amount. This lets you create very specific selections.

Advanced Examples

!random tipper 3 6h min 50
Pick 3 different people who tipped at least 50 tokens in the last 6 hours.

!random tipper 5 2h 25+
Pick 5 people who tipped at least 25 tokens in the last 2 hours.

Important Notes

• CharlesBot only tracks tips while it's running in your room
• If someone tips multiple times, they're still only entered once
• Anonymous & ninja tips are excluded from the selection
