FairGiveaway

What FairGiveaway is

FairGiveaway is a free web service for running social media giveaways with randomly selected winners and public records of completed draws. It currently supports X (Twitter). Organizers can set participation tasks, including liking or commenting on the giveaway tweet, following specified accounts, and engaging with another tweet. Optional winner checks can screen for a profile picture, bio, minimum account age, minimum post count, and comment verification.

The service uses the browser Web Crypto API’s crypto.getRandomValues function for winner selection. Each finalized draw receives a unique ID that opens its participant list, winner verification results, and draw configuration, so a completed result can be reviewed. FairGiveaway also provides a RESTful API for creating draws programmatically, verifying them, and querying draw history. Its frontend and backend are open source under the MIT license. Finalized giveaway records are kept permanently, while active draw sessions expire after 15 minutes. The privacy policy says MongoDB Atlas and Upstash Redis use encryption in transit and at rest, with access limited to authorized application credentials. The FAQ says Twitter session cookies used during scraping remain in memory and are not saved to disk or a database.
