Unified Giveaways: One Keyword, Both Platforms
Run live giveaways during your stream. Viewers from Twitch and YouTube enter with one customisable keyword in chat. Pick the number of winners per platform and let viewers claim prizes through a full OAuth portal.
The fairness problem
Running a giveaway across two platforms is genuinely hard. Pick one platform's chat and you ignore half your audience. Pick winners from a combined pool and your platform balance gets skewed by whichever audience happens to be louder that night. Manually copying entries into a spreadsheet to draw winners fairly is a recipe for accusations of rigging.
Rebeam captures entries from both Twitch and YouTube the moment viewers type your keyword, draws winners per platform so each audience is represented, and gives winners a real OAuth-verified portal to claim their prize.
How giveaways work
1. Set up your giveaway
Open the giveaway page in the Rebeam dashboard and create a campaign. Set a title (what viewers are entering for), a prize description, your customisable keyword (defaults to !enter), and how many winners you want per platform.
2. Viewers enter in chat
Once the giveaway is active, viewers on Twitch and YouTube type your keyword in chat to enter. Rebeam captures each entry with the viewer's platform-tagged display name. One entry per viewer, deduplicated automatically. The live entry counter pulses in the OBS overlay every time a new viewer joins.
3. Draw winners and announce
When you're ready, click draw. Rebeam picks winners per platform to match the counts you set, runs an animated roulette in the OBS overlay, and announces the winners in chat on both platforms. Confetti included.
4. Winners claim via OAuth portal
Winners receive a link to claim their prize. They sign in via OAuth to verify identity, then submit delivery details for physical prizes or just confirm receipt for digital ones. Every claim is logged for your audit trail.
Per-platform winner counts
Rebeam lets you set winner counts independently for Twitch and YouTube. If your audience splits 70/30, you can either match that split or guarantee representation by picking two winners from each platform. The choice is yours, and either way the draws are statistically fair within each pool.
Each entry is platform-tagged so you can see at a glance how the draw covers both audiences. Combined-pool draws are also available if you'd rather treat both platforms as one.
OAuth-verified claim portal
When a viewer wins, Rebeam posts a unique claim link in chat. The winner clicks the link and signs in with the same platform identity that entered the giveaway, so impersonators can't claim prizes meant for someone else.
For physical prizes, the portal collects delivery details securely. For digital prizes, the portal confirms receipt and gives you a one-line audit record. Every claim is logged with timestamps, viewer ID, and platform.
Giveaway overlay for OBS
Add the giveaway OBS overlay as a browser source and viewers see the campaign title, prize, keyword, and live entry counter on screen. The counter pulses every time a new entry comes in.
When you draw, the overlay runs an animated roulette through the entries and reveals winners with confetti. Customise the title, subtitle, accent, and counter colors with a live preview in the Rebeam dashboard.
