Tips for Fair Giveaways

💡 Best Practices

  • Enable "One entry per user" to prevent users with multiple comments from having extra chances.
  • Enable "Exclude channel owner" so you do not accidentally pick yourself.
  • Use keyword filtering (e.g., require "enter" or a specific hashtag) to ensure only valid entries are included.
  • Increase the "Max comments to scan" for videos with many comments to improve coverage.
  • Record or screenshot the results for transparency and to share with your audience.
  • Note: The tool samples up to the configured maximum. For videos with more comments, not all comments may be included in the pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is YouTube Comment Picker?

YouTube Comment Picker is a free online tool that randomly selects comments from any YouTube video. It is commonly used for giveaways, contests, and community engagement where a fair random selection from video comments is needed.

Is the selection truly random?

Yes. The tool fetches comments from the YouTube Data API and uses a uniform random sampling algorithm to select winners. Every eligible comment has an equal probability of being chosen.

How many comments can it scan?

The tool can scan up to 5,000 comments per video. You can choose from preset limits (100, 500, 1,000, 2,000, or 5,000) in the Advanced Options. For videos with more comments than the selected limit, a representative sample is fetched.

Can I filter comments by keyword?

Yes. Enter a keyword or phrase in the Advanced Options and only comments containing that keyword will be eligible for selection. This is useful for giveaways that require a specific word or hashtag in the comment.

Does it work with YouTube Shorts?

Yes. The tool supports YouTube Shorts URLs as well as standard video URLs, short links (youtu.be), embed URLs, and bare video IDs.

What does "One entry per user" mean?

When enabled, this option ensures each commenter can only be selected once, even if they posted multiple comments on the video. This prevents a single person from having multiple entries in the draw.
