The server will automatically check if they commented on your video as well.

== How To Create A Giveaway ==
I will explain below how you can create a giveaway. You must be a YouTuber to create one, if you don't have the rank and still want to create one, please contact staff and they can whitelist you.

=== Creating a Giveaway ===
To create a giveaway you must enter the Create tab and press Create A Giveaway.
When creating a giveaway you can either create a YouTube Video one or a Livestream one, for this example, we'll do a YouTube Video one.

[[File:Creating a giveaway.png|thumb|300px|To create a giveaway you must enter the Create tab and press Create A Giveaway]]
[[File:Creating a giveaway2.png|thumb|300px|When you have everything set up click Create Giveaway]]

*YouTube Video: You can run the giveaway for longer and link a video to it, when you link a video to it - the video will be displayed in the Giveaway Tab. Viewers also receive a Vote Mystery Box when they join the giveaway (refer code).

*Livestream: You can not link a video to that giveaway + it will be noticeably shorter. You can always pick a winner whenever you want! (minimum 10 entries to pick a winner)

*Winners: You can set the winners to 1-10 (based on how many items you're giving away).

*Length: The length is the total amount of time the giveaway will take. 1 hour after that timer runs out the winner will be automatically picked. You can also manually spin the winner(s)!

When you have everything set up click Create Giveaway!

[[File:Spin winner.png|thumb|300px|During the giveaway, you can always click on '''{{Colour|green|Pick a Winner}}''' and spin the winner on your own. This is very fun and very much suggested during live stream giveaways!]]
*The first thing you want to do now is record your video intro/outro and tell people to do ::giveaway and enter your code, gretar1869 in this case!
*You can now start your giveaway by clicking on '''{{Colour|green|Start Giveaway}}''', It is recommended to do this before you upload your video! That way you make sure players can join it as soon as the video goes live!
*After you've uploaded your video you should click on '''{{Colour|green|Link Vid}}''' and link your video.
*After the giveaway has started you can either cancel the giveaway or pick a winner!

{{Colour|red|'''Note:''' You can only cancel a giveaway that has '''less than 10 entries''' or has not been started.}}
