Simplicity
Powerful functionality should not require a confusing interface or an oversized command set.
About
Built for better Discord giveaways.
giveaways.lol is focused on making giveaways powerful, fair and easy to manage without turning the experience into a complicated dashboard.
Discord giveaways should be simple to create, easy to understand and reliable enough to trust. That is the idea behind giveaways.lol.
The bot is designed around modern Discord interactions, persistent PostgreSQL storage and a modular architecture that can grow alongside the communities using it.
Instead of forcing server owners through dozens of unnecessary settings, giveaways.lol focuses on the features that actually matter: powerful entry requirements, flexible winner handling, recovery after restarts, moderation tools and clean giveaway messages.
Both slash commands and classic g. commands are supported, so communities can use whichever workflow feels best.
Principles

02
Reliability
Giveaway data should survive restarts and remain consistent even when infrastructure temporarily fails.

Fairness

Control
Hosts should be able to pause, resume, edit, reroll or stop giveaways without fighting the bot.

Performance
