Yes. PickAWin is free for any Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or other social media post with up to 100 comments. No credit card required.

How does the random winner selection work?

PickAWin uses SHA-256 cryptographic hash combined with Fisher-Yates shuffle. The hash is published BEFORE the draw and the seed AFTER, so anyone can verify the result was not manipulated.

Which platforms does PickAWin support?

Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, Kwai, Threads, Telegram and WhatsApp giveaways.

Do I need to register or login?

No. PickAWin works with no registration. Paste the post URL and pick winners instantly.

Can my followers verify the result?

Yes. Every draw publishes a SHA-256 hash before the winner is revealed and a seed after. Anyone can re-run the algorithm to verify.

How does AI fraud detection work?

PickAWin analyzes comment patterns, account age, follower ratios, and engagement signals to flag fake accounts and bots before the draw.

Can I require participants to follow my profile or use a hashtag?

Yes. Eligibility filters: require N friend mentions, require specific hashtag, require follow.

Embed widget

Add giveaway draws to your site

Embed the full PickAWin draw experience inside your own page with one line of HTML. No backend setup, no API integration — comments scrape, draw runs, certificate generates, all inside the iframe.

Option 1: iframe (zero JS)

Drop this into any HTML page. Works on Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, custom sites.

<iframe
  src="https://pickawin.app/embed/draw?theme=dark&locale=en"
  width="100%"
  height="720"
  style="border: 0; border-radius: 16px;"
  allow="clipboard-write"
  title="PickAWin giveaway draw"
></iframe>

Option 2: JS snippet (auto-resizes)

Loads the widget asynchronously and auto-adjusts height to content. Recommended for production.

<div id="pickawin-widget" data-locale="en" data-theme="dark"></div>
<script src="https://pickawin.app/widget.js" async></script>

Configuration options

theme"dark" | "light" | "auto"

Color scheme. Defaults to auto (matches user system preference).

locale"pt" | "en" | "es"

Interface language.

default_urlstring

Pre-fill an Instagram/TikTok URL on load. Useful for landing pages dedicated to one giveaway.

winnersnumber

Pre-set winner count. Hides the input field.

brand_colorhex string

Override the emerald accent with your brand color (e.g. #ff5500).

brand_logoURL

Logo shown in the certificate (white-label tier required).

hide_footerboolean

Hide the 'Powered by PickAWin' footer (white-label tier required).

callbackJS function name

Called when draw completes. Receives { winners, hash, certificate_url }.

Webhook on completion

Configure a webhook URL in your dashboard to receive a POST when any embedded draw completes — useful for syncing winners back to your CRM/email system.

POST https://yoursite.com/webhooks/pickawin
{
  "event": "draw.completed",
  "embed_id": "your_embed_session_id",
  "winners": [...],
  "verification": { "sha256": "..." }
}

Real-world examples

Brand landing page

Pre-fill the URL of the Instagram post you want to draw from. Visitors come in via email/social, click "draw winner", get a SHA-256 certificate inline. Zero friction.

Agency client portal

Embed inside your client dashboard. Each client logs in, sees ONLY their giveaways. White-label tier removes all PickAWin branding.

WordPress sweepstakes

Drop the iframe into a WP block. Pair with WP Forms for entry collection — PickAWin handles only the verifiable draw step.

Live event activation

Display on a screen at a conference/event. Audience members comment on a hashtag, presenter clicks 'draw', cinematic reveal plays full-screen.

Pricing

Embed widget is free to use — you're charged only when a draw runs (same per-draw pricing as the dashboard: $2.99 Standard / $7.49 Premium). White-label features (custom logo, hide footer, brand color override) require Growth or Enterprise plan.
