Can I Run Giveaways on Patreon?
We can't point you to Patreon giveaway rules, so read Patreon's current policies before you launch. The legal side doesn't change. If only paying patrons can enter, entry costs money, so offer a free route too.
In Gleam, you have two Patreon actions:
- Patreon Entry lets entrants log in with Patreon to earn an entry. That opens your Competition to any Patreon user, patron or not.
- Patreon Visit sends entrants to your creator page. Choose Check Patron Status and connect your Patreon account, and each entrant has to authenticate with Patreon first. You can see who's a patron in the Actions tab by filtering on this action and checking the Details column.
To reward patrons, add a Bonus action locked behind other actions, or run a separate draw for your patrons. Say how you'll choose winners in your rules.
Our Patreon giveaway guide covers what to give away, and the Patreon Page Giveaway template is a ready-made setup.
