What the giveaway actually did to your channel

Most streamers finish a giveaway knowing exactly one thing about it: how many people entered. That number cannot tell you whether the giveaway worked, because it cannot tell you how many people saw it and did not.

How do you tell whether a giveaway was worth running?

Compare who saw it with who entered, and look at how many of them were new to you. In Kloot the Impact panel on a finished giveaway shows views, unique devices, entry rate, where entries came from and how many entrants had never opened one of your giveaways before.

What you’ll build

A per-giveaway read of who arrived, where from, how many were new, and what they did next — plus a 30-day view across every draw.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the giveaway in your history

    Every finished giveaway has a detail page, and the Impact section sits on it. It is measured by Kloot on the giveaway’s own join page rather than pulled from an analytics product, which matters for one practical reason: it counts the people who opened your entry link, including the ones who never came near your channel page.

  2. 2

    Read the entry rate before the entry count

    The headline is three numbers — views, unique devices and entries — and the useful one is the ratio between the last two. A hundred entries from a hundred and ten people who looked is a giveaway that worked; a hundred entries from nine hundred is a prize nobody wanted or a form that asked too much. The rate is calculated against unique devices rather than views, because someone who reloaded three times has not become three-sevenths of an entrant.

    A very high rate is worth a second look rather than a celebration: it usually means only people who already intended to enter ever saw the page.

  3. 3

    Look at where they came from

    Entries are attributed to the surface that sent them — the QR on your overlay, someone typing the code, your streamer page, a notify email, a Discord post, a link you copied. That breakdown is the one that changes what you do next stream, because it tells you which of your own surfaces is actually doing the work.

    There is a "direct" bucket and it is usually large. It means a pasted link, which is a real way to arrive, not a measurement failure.

  4. 4

    Check how many were new to you

    The panel counts how many entrants had never opened one of your giveaways before. For a sponsored activation this is the number the brand is buying, and for everything else it is the honest answer to whether a giveaway grew anything or entertained the people already there. Both are fine outcomes; they are just not the same outcome.

  5. 5

    Then the things that happened afterwards

    Follow taps, emails collected, and people who asked to be told about your next giveaway. These are the ones that compound — a giveaway that produced forty entries and twelve subscribers to your next one did more for you than one that produced eighty and none.

  6. 6

    Know what you are not being told

    Two things, and both are deliberate. A giveaway you ran before this measurement existed shows its real entries and says "not measured for this giveaway" against reach, rather than printing a zero — a zero would be a claim, and a false one. And on the free plan the panel renders with invented numbers, blurred, labelled as sample data. It is showing you the shape of the thing, not your own figures, and it says so rather than letting you mistake one for the other.

  7. 7

    Use the 30-day view for the pattern

    The history index carries a rolling summary across every giveaway in the window, which is where a trend is visible and a single draw is not. Creator covers thirty days; Pro keeps all of it and exports to CSV if you want to put it beside something else.

How a giveaway plays out, live

Setup is done — this is the five-beat run, start to finish. You fire two keys; the overlay and your audience do the rest.

  1. You fire it· step 1

    Launch the giveaway

    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.

    You: Press Launch
    Overlay: Prize card + QR appear
    Viewers: Sees how to enter
  2. Entries pour in· step 2

    Viewers enter in one tap

    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.

    You: Nothing — keep playing
    Overlay: Entry count rises
    Viewers: Scan / enter code
  3. You fire it· step 3

    Draw the winner

    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.

    You: Press Draw
    Overlay: Spin wheel runs
    Viewers: Watches the spin
  4. The payoff· step 4

    Winner revealed

    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.

    Overlay: Winner + prize shown
    Viewers: Winner gets an email
  5. You close it· step 5

    Deliver & clear

    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.

    You: Press to clear
    Overlay: Card clears
    Viewers: Prize already sent

When to drop a giveaway

A giveaway is a spike you control. The moments where it pays off most:

Hit a follower or sub goal

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.

Sponsor-funded drop

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.

Welcome a raid

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.

Charity or event stream

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.

The payoff — winner locked in, prize already on its way.

The wheel lands and the winner’s name locks onto the card. If you pre-loaded prize codes, Kloot emails the winner theirs the same second — you never chase a DM after the stream.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ✕Judging a giveaway on entries alone, which cannot separate a big audience from a good offer.
  • ✕Reading a high entry rate as success when it usually means very few people saw the page.
  • ✕Treating the "direct" bucket as broken measurement rather than as pasted links.
  • ✕Comparing a pre-measurement giveaway with a recent one as though both had reach data.

Frequently asked

How do I know if my giveaway reached new people?

The Impact panel counts entrants who had never opened one of your giveaways before. It is the number worth watching, because entries alone cannot distinguish growth from your regulars entering again.

Why does my older giveaway show no reach?

Because it ran before the measurement existed. It shows its real entry numbers and says the reach was not measured for that giveaway, rather than printing a zero — a zero would read as "nobody saw it", which is a claim nobody can make about it.

What does the "direct" source mean?

Somebody arrived with no tag on the link — almost always a pasted URL, in a Discord message or a chat. It is expected to be large and it is an honest bucket rather than a failure to measure.

Can I see this on the free plan?

You see the panel with sample numbers, blurred and labelled as a sample, so you can tell what it shows before deciding whether to pay for it. Real figures start on Creator, which covers thirty days; Pro keeps the full history and exports CSV.

Is this the same as my PostHog or Twitch analytics?

No. It is counted by Kloot on the giveaway’s own entry page, so it measures the giveaway rather than the channel — including people who opened your link and never visited your channel page at all.
