## Entry Types

### Keyword Entry

Viewers type a specific word in chat to enter:

* Set a keyword (e.g., "!giveaway", "enter", "!win")
* Only viewers who type the keyword participate
* Prevents accidental entries

### Active Users

Automatically includes active chatters:

* Anyone chatting is eligible
* Set an inactivity timeout (e.g., viewers silent for 5 minutes are removed)
* Great for rewarding engaged viewers

## Luck Multipliers

Give certain viewer types better odds of winning:

| User Type      | Description         | Example Multiplier |
| -------------- | ------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Viewer**     | Regular viewers     | 1x                 |
| **Subscriber** | Channel subscribers | 2x                 |
| **VIP**        | VIP badge holders   | 1.5x               |
| **Moderator**  | Channel moderators  | 1x                 |

A subscriber with 2x multiplier has double the chance of winning compared to a regular viewer.
