How do you know every entry in your Reddit giveaway was actually counted?

Discussion

If you have ever run a large giveaway on Reddit, you have probably wondered: did the tool actually count everyone?

Here is the uncomfortable part: many popular giveaway tools quietly stop reading comments after a certain point. On a big thread, that can mean hundreds or thousands of people who commented were never actually in the draw. Nobody gets told, and the winner still looks legit. And since these tools never show you how many entries they read, you have no way to notice.

I built r/FairGiveaway to change that. It shows you the exact number of entries that made it into the draw, right on the post, so you and your entrants see precisely what the draw ran on.

What else it does:

  • No caps. Reads every single comment, no matter how big the thread gets.
  • One person, one entry. Duplicate comments change nothing, each person counts once.
  • Filters. Set a minimum account age and karma to keep out bots and alt accounts.
  • Keyword rules. Require entrants to include specific words, comments without them do not count. This one was built from community feedback.
  • Public record. Every action, every draw, every replacement is logged publicly, so your community can see the giveaway was run clean.

The best way to get a feel for it: grab one of your past giveaway posts and run it through the app. You will see the entry count and the full flow in a couple of minutes. One thing to know: each post can only ever host one giveaway, so use a post that is already done.

r/FairGiveaway is free and runs entirely on Reddit. A few giveaways in this community have already used it.

I built it because trusting a screenshot or a black-box tool shouldn't be the standard. If you try it, tell me what annoyed you and what to build next. The last update came entirely from what users asked for.
