Can I really run one giveaway across Twitch and YouTube?

Yes. Choose Twitch + YouTube when creating the giveaway and connect both live sources. Eligible entrants from the two chats are combined into one giveaway.

Are Twitch and YouTube viewers placed on separate giveaway wheels?

No. They are combined into the same entrant pool. There is one draw and one winner.

Does SpinTheWheel.io send my video to Twitch and YouTube?

No. SpinTheWheel.io runs the giveaway. Your broadcasting software and multistreaming service handle the video stream. A useful way to remember it is: Your multistreaming service distributes the broadcast. SpinTheWheel.io unifies the giveaway.

No. Restream is one example of a multistreaming service. You can use another suitable solution.

Do I need a multistreaming service for a Twitch-only giveaway?

No. If you are only broadcasting to Twitch, you can stream to Twitch normally and use SpinTheWheel.io for the giveaway.

Do I need a multistreaming service for a YouTube-only giveaway?

No. If you are only broadcasting to YouTube, you can stream to YouTube normally and use SpinTheWheel.io for the giveaway.

Can I use the giveaway on Twitch without YouTube?

Yes. Choose Twitch when you create the giveaway.

Can I use it on YouTube without Twitch?

Yes. Choose YouTube when you create the giveaway. The YouTube setup also includes the Standard Moderator requirement.

Do entrants need a SpinTheWheel.io account?

No. Viewers enter through the livestream chat using your giveaway's entry command. They do not need to create or sign in to a SpinTheWheel.io account.

Can entrants join from either Twitch or YouTube?

Yes. In a combined giveaway, a viewer can enter through the chat on the platform where they are watching. Eligible entrants from the connected Twitch and YouTube livestreams feed the same giveaway.

Can one person enter through both Twitch and YouTube?

SpinTheWheel.io handles entrants according to the identity and duplicate-entry rules used by the connected platforms and the giveaway. Because Twitch and YouTube identities are separate platform identities, do not assume that an account on one platform can always be matched automatically to an account belonging to the same person on another platform. The entrant information used for the draw is shown through the giveaway and its verification record.

What is a Verified Replay?

A Verified Replay is the public record of a completed giveaway draw. It lets viewers revisit the result and inspect the verification information associated with the draw.

Can viewers check whether the giveaway was fair?

Yes. The Verified Replay gives viewers access to the recorded result and the associated verification information, including cryptographic proof details. They do not have to rely only on a winner announcement or a claim from the streamer.

Does the Verified Replay prove that SpinTheWheel.io could never be manipulated?

No. It would be misleading to make that claim. The Verified Replay provides the recorded draw, integrity information and cryptographic verification data associated with the giveaway so that the result can be independently inspected.

What is the cryptographic proof for?

The cryptographic proof provides technical information used to verify the recorded giveaway result. Most viewers will not need to inspect the technical details. They are there for anyone who wants to look more closely at how the draw was recorded and verified.

How long is a Verified Replay available?

Published giveaway Replays currently have a 28-day retention period. The giveaway interface also explains this retention period when you remove completed giveaways from your history.

Can I choose how the giveaway wheel looks?

Yes. Choose from the available wheel styles when setting up the giveaway.

Can the winner be drawn automatically?

Yes. You can use automatic drawing or choose the manual workflow and trigger the draw yourself.

Can I control the giveaway from my phone?

Yes. The Streamer Giveaway dashboard works on mobile as well as desktop. Your OBS and broadcasting setup would normally continue running separately on the device handling your livestream.

Not necessarily to control the giveaway itself. For the normal streaming setup where you want the SpinTheWheel giveaway wheel displayed over your broadcast, you need OBS, Streamlabs or another broadcasting application that can display a Browser Source.

Does SpinTheWheel.io need access to my YouTube Studio, monetisation or analytics?

No. The Standard Moderator step used for announcing the winner does not give the announcement channel access to your YouTube Studio, monetisation or analytics. When connecting your Google/YouTube account, always review the permissions displayed by Google before approving them.
