    No.Support. A giveaway is a gesture of kindness, you literally have no say on their money nor who they give it away too what the heck lol, and tbh I think its insulting to tell someone you have to roll the dice, your basically laying claim to that persons money by telling them you have to dice roll because we don't believe your legit thanks for the donation tho......

    I understand most people want legitimate dice rolls, but at the end of the day its free money, and if your going to cry like a baby at a shot of winning free money then I'm speechless.

    Regarding giveaways

    Did I suggest what a host should do with their money? If they're hosting a giveaway, it's pretty obvious what should be done with the money at the end of one.

    I'm talking about giveaways/sweepstakes, not contests. These are driven by randomization, and because we offer a randomization tool in the dice roll, it should be done here for reasons of legitimacy.

    I've hosted a giveaway too, click here to see.

    You understand that most people want legitimate dice rolls, but you're okay with it being faked because it's not their money? This is fraud.

    Can't be proven it's fake if winner(s) are chosen from an outside source. Only other way it can be faked is if there is no payout and that's highly unlikely if the giveaway was started in a legitimate forum.

    If the key goal is to choose a winner from random, why is it a problem to do it here? Can someone please answer this question logically.

    Please no, "because it's the hosts money hurr", because the procedure in choosing the winner is still the same. The only difference is it can't be faked here. Who wouldn't want that?

    I support, if there is going to be a giveaway that has a factor of random involved it should be fair.

    Regarding giveaways

    I'm confused as to why this hasn't been already done tbh?

    Just makes it much simpler to use the site dice roll.


    Oh wait.... unless it's a competition that is based on what looks the best..
    i.e. FashionScape [RS Special] Giveaway!

    If its based on randomisation, then yeah.
