The Short Answer

The best Discord giveaway bots in 2026 are ScopliDrop for giveaways that grow your server and block fake entries, GiveawayBot for quick free draws, Giveaway Boat for free in-Discord requirements, and Dyno if your server already runs it. We went through the documentation of 13 bots to build this list. Eight run giveaways worth your time. Three big names that appear on other lists don't run giveaways at all.

1. ScopliDrop, growth tasks + anti-fraud
2. GiveawayBot, the free default
3. Giveaway Boat, free requirements workhorse
4. Dyno, all-in-one with a web entry page
5. Cinnamon, giveaways with economy payouts
6. Invite Tracker, giveaways next to invite analytics
7. Martine, free gating inside a stream-alerts bot
8. MEE6, only if you already pay for it

1. ScopliDrop: Growth Tasks and Anti-Fraud

ScopliDrop is the newest bot on this list, and in 2026 it has quickly become the go-to pick for requirement-heavy giveaways, reaching 3,450,000 community members (as of July 30, 2026). It grew by shipping mechanics the category didn't have. Entries can require any of 55+ tasks, from social follows to server activity to fully custom ones, and every giveaway gets a web entry page people outside the server can enter from. Each participant also gets a referral link that earns bonus entries when friends enter through it, and it can even require entrants to bring a set number of friends to be eligible.

Fraud detection is where it differs most from the rest of the field. ScopliDrop can recognize when several entries come from the same device and drops suspicious accounts from the winner roll automatically. The other bots here rely on account-age or tenure filters, which flag new accounts but can't link five entries back to one person.

Pros

• 55+ social, Discord, and custom tasks turn each entry into a growth action
• Built-in referrals on the free plan, entrants recruit friends for bonus entries
• Detects alt accounts and bots without captchas for real entrants
• Full lifecycle on autopilot, from scheduled launch to automatic prize delivery

Cons

• Newer than GiveawayBot or Giveaway Boat, so the track record is shorter
• Most configuration lives on the web dashboard, so owners who prefer staying in slash commands have to switch context
• The deepest features sit on paid tiers, and plans from €9/month cost more than the $3 Patreons elsewhere on this list

Best for: brands, creators, and communities that treat giveaways as an acquisition channel, or anyone whose prize is worth protecting.

Price: free tier, paid plans on the pricing page.

2. GiveawayBot: The Free Default

GiveawayBot powers giveaways on roughly 3 million servers, and its pitch hasn't changed in years. Type /gstart 30m 1 Steam Key, a button appears, the timer ends, a winner drops. /greroll if they ghost. It's open source and fully free. The Patreon behind it is a donation, not a paywall. There are no entry requirements, no dashboard, and no scheduling, and that's the point.

Pros

• Fully free and open source, no premium tier at all
• Zero setup, running in the time it takes to type one command
• The largest install base of any dedicated giveaway bot

Cons

• No entry requirements of any kind, anyone who can click is in
• No dashboard, no scheduling, no templates
• No fraud protection, alts and giveaway hoppers enter freely
• Effectively in maintenance mode: the open-source repo's last code change was July 2024

Best for: quick, casual draws for your existing members where nothing is at stake.

Price: free.

3. Giveaway Boat: The Free Requirements Workhorse

Giveaway Boat is a strong free tier among dedicated giveaway bots. Without paying you get unlimited simultaneous giveaways up to 100 days long, role, level, and message-count requirements, bypass roles, role blacklists, bonus entries per role, custom winner DMs, and multi-language support. It has run on large servers for years, and that maturity shows.

Pros

• Unlimited simultaneous giveaways with durations up to 100 days, free
• Role, level, and message requirements with bypass roles and bonus entries
• Years of production use on big servers

Cons

• Requirements gate eligibility but nothing detects duplicate or fake entrants
• Entries stay inside Discord, no web page or widget
• No referral mechanic, and staying in-Discord leaves it no compliant way to add one (Discord bans rewarding invites directly)

Best for: Discord-only communities that want serious entry gating without paying.

Price: generous free tier, Premium from $3/month via Patreon.

4. Dyno: The All-in-One With a Web Entry Page

Dyno sits on over 10 million servers for moderation, and its giveaway module is better than a side feature has any right to be. Each giveaway gets an auto-created public page on dyno.gg where people can enter from a shared link, with referral entries (a bonus entry per friend who joins through your link) and optional daily entries. Winners can be DM'd and auto-assigned a role, and everything is managed from the dashboard. The catch is the free ceiling. Free servers cap at 3 concurrent giveaways and one month of duration, and scheduling a start time is Premium-only.

Pros

• Public giveaway page with referral and daily entries, free
• Full dashboard management, winner DMs, winner role
• Up to 50 winners, and you probably already have Dyno installed

Cons

• Free tier caps at 3 concurrent giveaways and 1-month durations
• Scheduling is paywalled, and there are no templates or recurring giveaways
• Requirements are thin, allowed/ignored roles and entry caps only, with no fraud detection

Best for: servers already running Dyno that want light giveaways with a shareable link.

Price: free with caps, Premium lifts the duration limit and adds scheduling.

5. Cinnamon: Giveaways That Pay Out in Economy Cash

Cinnamon is a small bot (~10K servers) with one integration nobody else has: instant UnbelievaBoat cash payouts. UnbelievaBoat is one of Discord's most popular economy bots, the one running many servers' virtual currency, shops, and casino games. Cinnamon plugs into it so a giveaway's prize lands in the winner's cash balance automatically, and it runs UnbelievaBoat lotteries on top. Around that core sits a deep dedicated toolset: drop giveaways (first to click wins, with requirements still applied), templates, scheduled and recurring giveaways, claim tickets, and a Premium claim timer that auto-rerolls winners who don't respond. The owner also lists suspicious entry detection, though how it works isn't documented.

Pros

• Instant UnbelievaBoat payouts and lotteries, unique in this list
• Drop giveaways, templates, scheduled and recurring giveaways, claim-time auto-reroll
• Cheap Premium, $3/month covers two servers

Cons

• No web dashboard, everything runs through slash commands
• Entry requirement types ("Limiters") are never enumerated in the docs, so you can't verify before inviting
• Small install base compared to everything else here

Best for: economy servers on UnbelievaBoat and owners comfortable living in slash commands.

Price: free core, Premium $3 to $10/month via Patreon.

6. Invite Tracker: Giveaways Next to Invite Analytics

Invite Tracker runs on about 2 million servers for invite analytics, and ships a competent giveaway module beside them: message-count requirements, role requirements with all/any logic, bonus entries per role, a winner role, and rerolls with a custom winner count, all configurable from its dashboard. Its invite side has documented fake-join flagging (accounts younger than a threshold you set count as fake) plus raid and honeypot protection. One absence looks odd at first: the giveaway module has no invite-count requirement, on an invite bot. That's almost certainly deliberate. Discord's Platform Manipulation Policy bans rewarding users for invites, so a "10 invites to enter" gate would put every server running it at risk. The full breakdown is in are invite rewards allowed on Discord. Bots that reward sharing route it through web referral links instead of Discord invites, which is how Dyno's giveaway-page referrals and ScopliDrop's referral entries stay on the right side of that policy.

Pros

• Message and role requirements with bonus entries, managed from a dashboard
• The only competitor here with documented fake-account logic, on the invite side
• Huge, actively maintained bot you may already use for invite tracking

Cons

• No scheduling, templates, or recurring giveaways documented
• The fake-join flagging protects invite stats, not giveaway entries
• No invite-count entry requirement, though that traces to Discord policy rather than an oversight

Best for: servers that already track invites with it and want requirements-based giveaways in the same bot.

Price: free, Premium raises limits (specifics only visible in their app).

7. Martine: Free Gating Inside a Stream-Alerts Bot

Martine (~100K servers) is a stream-alerts bot (Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Bluesky, TikTok) whose giveaway module quietly out-gates most free tiers: role requirements with condition logic, account-age filters, and a minimum server tenure requirement, plus bypass roles, multiple winners, and one-click rerolls. Nothing giveaway-related is premium-gated, and the project ships updates regularly. If Martine already handles your stream alerts, its giveaway module covers gated draws without installing another bot.

Pros

• Account-age and server-tenure filters free, more gating than Dyno's free tier
• Dashboard, active development, and stream alerts in the same bot
• No documented premium gate on any giveaway feature

Cons

• No templates, scheduling, or recurring giveaways
• Age and tenure filters raise the bar for alts but nothing detects duplicates
• Giveaways are a side module and get side-module depth

Best for: servers already running Martine for stream alerts that want gated giveaways from the same bot.

Price: free, Premium exists but its perks are leveling-related.

8. MEE6: Only If You Already Pay for It

MEE6 is on more servers than any bot on this list (roughly 21 million), but its giveaway plugin is Premium-only, so a free MEE6 server can't run giveaways at all. On Premium you get dashboard setup, up to 90 winners, participation limits, and its one standout idea: winning odds weighted by role, so boosters and regulars get better chances rather than extra entries. If you already pay for MEE6, that's a serviceable occasional draw. Adding or upgrading MEE6 just for giveaways makes no sense when every other bot here starts free.

Pros

• You may already have it installed and paid for
• Role-weighted winning odds, a different loyalty mechanic than bonus entries
• Up to 90 winners from the dashboard

Cons

• Giveaways locked entirely behind Premium
• In-Discord only, no requirements beyond role criteria, no fraud detection
• Hard to justify as a fresh install when every other bot here runs giveaways free

Best for: servers already on MEE6 Premium that run an occasional simple draw.

Price: Premium subscription required.

3 Bots to Skip (and Why Other Lists Include Them)

We checked every candidate's own documentation, and three names that keep appearing on competing "best giveaway bot" lists don't hold up:

• Arcane is a leveling bot. Its official command list contains no giveaway command at all.
• Vexera is a multipurpose bot with no giveaway command, currently discontinuing its flagship music feature.
• Apollo is an event and RSVP bot. Polished at what it does, but nothing on apollo.fyi runs a giveaway.

Two more didn't make the cut for different reasons. Gifty still uses prefix-era commands with no visible updates for years, and we couldn't verify that any active giveaway bot named Santa exists beyond an empty landing page. Lists that recommend these bots are copying each other, not checking docs.

The 8 Side by Side

Every cell comes from each bot's own site or documentation, checked in July 2026. Where docs stay silent on a feature, we treated it as absent and say so in the bot's entry.

How to Pick

Match the bot to what the giveaway is for, not to a feature count.

A casual draw for existing members: GiveawayBot, and you're done in one command. Free in-Discord gating: Giveaway Boat, with Martine as the alternative if it already posts your stream alerts. You already run Dyno or Invite Tracker: their built-in modules cover light needs without a new bot. Economy server: Cinnamon's UnbelievaBoat payouts are unmatched. The giveaway should grow your audience, or the prize is worth protecting: that's the job ScopliDrop was built for, and the only entry on this list combining external reach with fraud detection.

Pick the One That Fits

Eight bots run giveaways worth your time in 2026, and the spread is wide. Fully free simplicity on one end, premium-gated plugins on the other, and exactly two bots that reach outside your server. Most owners are well served by the free workhorses. The moment a giveaway is meant to bring new people in, or the prize is worth gaming, the requirements-and-fraud layer stops being optional, and that's where the field narrows fast.
