Make Your Giveaways Fair!

[Godless]

Dear @Edward @Steve @Mikey,

Your giveaways attract a large number of participants, which is commendable. However, their current format raises issues that undermine trust in your brand. I am confident that my opinion is shared by many participants, and this reflects the general sentiment of the community.

1. The Problem of Repeating Winners
Every week, the same people win your giveaways, often securing multiple tickets. This creates confusion and a sense of unfairness among the majority of participants. Regular players barely stand a chance. We believe these situations can be managed, and we suggest implementing restrictions such as:

A cooldown period for winners (e.g., banning participation in the giveaway for 4 weeks).

Such a change would increase the chances for new participants who view the giveaway as a unique opportunity. Currently, the prizes often go to "high rollers" who have little interest in the giveaway sums. This gives the impression that the interests of the wider audience are not being considered.

2. The Problem with Participant Selection on Streams
Many players have noticed subjectivity in selecting participants from Discord for bonus games. For instance, Mikey might choose winners based on personal preferences, which raises doubts about the fairness of the process.

We propose adopting a public and transparent selection method with screen-sharing in the winning Discord channels, such as:

Selecting winners using a random number generator (1-40).

Using a roulette wheel with numbers 1-40 arranged in random order.

This approach would enhance the perception of fairness among your audience and eliminate any doubts about bias.

3. Reputation and Audience Trust
We are confident that the majority of participants want giveaways to be transparent and fair. This would benefit both the players and your brand. If the issues stem from oversights, we urge you to address them to restore your reputation and the community's trust.

These suggestions reflect the stance of many participants. We hope you will listen to our feedback and take steps to ensure your giveaways are fair and transparent.
Thank you for your attention!
