Frequently Asked Questions

Enter a YouTube video URL, set your filters (subscriber-only, keyword requirements), and click Pick Winner. The tool fetches all comments, applies your filters, removes duplicates if enabled, and randomly selects the specified number of winners using a fair algorithm.

Due to YouTube API limitations, we cannot verify subscription status directly. However, you can require a specific keyword that only subscribers would know (mentioned in a subscribers-only community post) or manually verify the winner's subscription status after selection.

Enter a required keyword in the filter field. Only comments containing that exact keyword (case-insensitive) will be eligible for the drawing. This is useful for contest entries that require a specific answer, hashtag, or phrase like "#giveaway" or "I subscribed".

Yes, by default the tool removes duplicate comments from the same user, giving everyone a fair chance regardless of how many times they commented. Only the user's first comment is considered. You can disable this option if you want multiple entries per person.

Yes, this tool is 100% free to use with no registration required. You can pick unlimited winners from any public YouTube video without any charges or hidden fees.

You can pick between 1 and 10 winners at once. Each winner is selected randomly and independently from the filtered pool of eligible comments. Once a user is selected as a winner, they are removed from the pool for subsequent selections.

Yes, our tool can handle videos with thousands of comments. However, for videos with extremely large comment counts (50,000+), the loading time may be longer. We fetch comments in batches to ensure all eligible entries are included.

Absolutely. We use the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure truly random selection. Every eligible comment has an exactly equal probability of being selected, with no bias toward any participant.

After the initial selection, you can click the "Pick Again" button to select a new winner from the remaining eligible comments. The previous winner(s) will be excluded from the new selection to ensure fairness.
