A giveaway announced while it is already running only reaches the people who were watching anyway. The point of scheduling one is that the link exists before the stream does, so the announcement has somewhere to point.
Schedule it, which creates the join link immediately, and share that link in your announcement. In Kloot a scheduled giveaway opens on the server at the time you set — your panel does not need to be open — and viewers who subscribed by email are told when it does.

It lands here — the real overlay
What you’ll build
A giveaway that opens on its own at a time you picked, a link you could share two days earlier, and an email to everyone who asked to be told.
The time is the decision everything else follows from, and it is worth being blunt about: the best slot is usually not the start of the stream. A giveaway thirty or forty minutes in catches the people who arrived late and gives the ones who came for it a reason to stay through the part before. Set it at least a minute in the future — Kloot refuses anything sooner, because a giveaway scheduled for now is a giveaway you meant to just start — and no more than ninety days out.
Schedule around your own timezone honestly. "Tonight" means five different evenings to an audience spread across continents; a date and a time does not.
A scheduled giveaway gets its join code the moment you create it, not when it opens. That is the whole mechanism this page exists for: the link in your announcement, your Discord post and your video description is the real link, live and correct days before anyone can enter through it. Someone who opens it early sees what the prize is and when it starts rather than a dead page.
Scheduling is a paid feature. Creator holds one scheduled giveaway at a time, which is enough for the normal rhythm of announcing this week’s draw. Pro queues as many as it likes and can repeat one weekly, which is the setting to use if the giveaway is a fixture rather than an event. On the free plan you start giveaways yourself when you are live.
The entry page carries an opt-in: viewers leave an email and get one message when your next giveaway opens. It is double opt-in, so nothing is ever sent to an address until its owner has clicked a link in it — which is both the law where Kloot is operated and the only way to stop someone typing a stranger’s address into a form on a phone.
Say out loud once per stream that the notify list exists. It is the single highest-converting sentence in a giveaway segment and almost nobody says it.
This is the part to read carefully, because collecting and sending are different things. On the free plan Kloot collects and confirms the list and shows you the count, but sends nothing. Creator mails up to a thousand people — the oldest confirmed thousand, deterministically, so the number means something — and Pro mails all of them. Nothing is discarded while you are on the free plan: the day you upgrade, the next giveaway that opens mails the list you have been building the whole time.
A webhook posts to a channel when the giveaway opens and again when there is a winner, with a link to the results. That covers the audience that never sees an email and is not watching yet, which for most channels is the largest group of the three. It is a Creator feature and it posts for giveaways only — a poll opening does not trigger it.
The giveaway opens on the server’s clock. Your panel can be closed, your machine can be off, and the entry window still starts on time — which is the point of scheduling rather than setting an alarm for yourself. One exception worth knowing: if another of your giveaways is still running at that moment, the scheduled one waits rather than interrupting it, and opens once you end the current draw. The panel shows a banner with an Open now button if you would rather not wait for the next check.
Setup is done — this is the five-beat run, start to finish. You fire two keys; the overlay and your audience do the rest.
Press Launch on your deck the moment the stream is hot. A prize card drops onto your overlay with a QR code and a short join code — entry is open.
They scan the QR or type the code at kloot.gg/join — no account, no chat command, any platform. The entry counter climbs live while you keep playing.
When the timer ends — or you decide the room is ready — press Draw. The spin wheel takes over the overlay and spins for real. This is the hype beat.
The wheel lands and the winner’s name locks onto the card. If you pre-loaded prize codes, Kloot emails the winner their code the same second — no post-stream chasing.
Press once to clear the card off screen and you’re back to the game. If the prize was brand-funded, screenshot the result and export the entry list as clean proof for the sponsor.
A giveaway is a spike you control. The moments where it pays off most:
When: You just crossed a milestone and the chat is buzzing.
Why it works: Turns a number into a moment and rewards the exact people who got you there — the spike keeps them around.
When: A brand puts up the prize as part of a deal.
Why it works: You run it, export the entry list as proof of a real activation, and the sponsor sees measurable reach — easy to renew.
When: A big raid just landed on your stream.
Why it works: One-tap entry with no signup converts drive-by viewers into followers before they wander off.
When: A fundraiser, tournament, or one-off event.
Why it works: A prize drives donations and entries; an Event Pass covers full Pro for the day without a subscription.

Press Draw and the wheel takes center screen with every entrant on it. The room watches it slow down and land — a draw nobody has to take on faith, and the clip that gets shared after.

Yes. The open happens on the server at the time you set, so entries start whether or not anything of yours is running. The only thing that holds it back is another of your own giveaways still being live, in which case it opens when that one ends.
From the scheduled time, not from when you notice. A giveaway set for 8pm with a ten-minute entry window closes entries at 8:10 even if you go live at 8:05, so leave the window longer than you think you need or start the draw yourself.
Yes, and it is the reason to schedule. The join code exists from the moment you schedule, so the link in a bio, a Discord post or a video description is already the right one and will simply start working at the scheduled time.
No. Free collects and confirms the list and shows the count, but never sends. Creator emails up to a thousand subscribers and Pro emails all of them. Nothing collected while you were free is lost when you upgrade.
No. Subscribers get one message per six hours regardless of how many times you open a giveaway, so a run of quick draws is one email rather than an inbox full.
One overlay URL, one deck, every tool — set it up in minutes and run it from any device.
