Twitch giveaways directly from your chat
Twitch is built around real-time content, so a giveaway during a stream can reward your community and encourage chat participation. SorteosUp lets you prepare a Twitch giveaway, gather participants during the stream and pick a random winner without copying names by hand.
The tool is designed for creators, streamers, brands and communities that want a fast, easy-to-explain giveaway among Twitch chat participants. Connect your account, prepare the session, let your community participate and resolve it when ready.
You do not need a spreadsheet or a manual list of chat names. Manage the giveaway from one interface and stay focused on the stream.
Free Twitch giveaways up to 500 entries
You can start using SorteosUp to run your Twitch giveaway without paying. Giveaways with up to 500 processed entries are free, so you can try the tool, connect your channel and complete a giveaway before you need points.
If your stream goes beyond 500 entries, you do not need to purchase a monthly plan. From entry 501 onward, 1 point is used for each additional processed entry. This keeps the cost aligned with the actual size of each giveaway.
For example, if your giveaway gathers fewer than 500 entries, processing is free. If it exceeds that limit, points apply only to the additional volume according to SorteosUp’s current policy.
This model is designed for new streamers as well as channels, communities, agencies and brands running giveaways with larger audiences.
- 0–500 entries → FREE
- From 501 → 1 point per additional entry
- No monthly subscription
How to run a Twitch giveaway with SorteosUp
The flow lets you prepare the session, open live collection, check received messages, valid entries and duplicates, then close participation before resolving. Configure the channel, participation mode, command or word and duration before you announce the giveaway. During collection, each user contributes one valid entry while additional messages are counted as duplicates. When the session closes, choose winners and alternates if enough eligible participants remain.

Why do I need to connect my Twitch account?
Unlike a pasted list, a Twitch activity giveaway must identify the channel and access information allowed by the integration. SorteosUp therefore requests the Twitch connection before this mode can be used. OAuth does not give SorteosUp your Twitch password; authorization is handled by Twitch and limited to the integration’s needs. It also links the giveaway to the channel organizing it.
Giveaway among Twitch chat participants
A live promotion can reward people participating in chat, celebrate a channel anniversary or follower milestone, present a product, support an event, or create a special moment. Explain who can enter, how long entries stay open, what the prize is and how the winner will be selected before starting.
Picking a random Twitch winner
Manually choosing among dozens or thousands of live messages is impractical and can raise questions about fairness. A random picker separates eligibility from the final decision: first determine valid entries, then select randomly from them. This makes the conditions easier to explain and the result easier to show.
Winners and alternates
Plan for what happens if a main winner does not answer or stops meeting the published conditions. Configure multiple winners and alternates when needed. Alternates keep a reserve order, so you do not need to invent a new procedure after the stream. Publish when they may be used.
A giveaway that is easier to demonstrate
A public promotion can benefit from technical traceability. The current Twitch resolution creates a certified result with a public identifier and result hash, and the public view can expose technical result information according to configured visibility. A certificate documents SorteosUp’s technical process; it does not replace promotion rules or legal responsibilities.
Ideas for using a giveaway during a stream
Choose a format that fits your community: celebrate a channel anniversary, reward a special live stream, launch a product, celebrate followers, add a competition moment, collaborate with a brand or creator, distribute codes or merchandise, or keep chat engaged at key points. A relevant prize usually produces more meaningful participation than an unrelated one.

Tips before running your Twitch giveaway
State the prize, eligible audience, start and end times, entry method, entry limits, number of winners, alternates, announcement method, response deadline, non-response procedure and geographic or age restrictions. Check Twitch rules and local legal obligations. SorteosUp provides the selection tool; the organizer remains responsible for the promotion.
Twitch connection and privacy
Use the official Twitch authorization flow and do not request or store Twitch passwords. The interface explains the connection and links to SorteosUp’s privacy policy. This page does not promise storage, deletion or message processing beyond the current implementation and policy.
A dedicated tool for live giveaways
A name generator is useful for a closed list, but Twitch participation happens while viewers interact with a creator. This mode connects collection and selection for a live channel. If you already have a fixed list, use SorteosUp’s manual giveaway tools instead.
