YouTube Comment Picker

Paste a video link, load every comment and pick a random giveaway winner – with filters for keywords and duplicates.

Overview

Pick a Fair YouTube Giveaway Winner

Running a giveaway on YouTube? Spinpik’s comment picker loads the top-level comments on your video and chooses one or more random winners in front of your audience.

Filter out duplicate commenters, require a keyword such as #giveaway and exclude your own channel or moderators. A 3-2-1 countdown and a rolling name animation make the draw exciting to show on stream or record for proof.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the tool is free. It uses the official YouTube Data API, which needs a free API key from Google Cloud Console.

YouTube only shares comment data through its official API. A key lets your browser request the comments directly from YouTube. Your key is stored only in your browser.

The picker counts top-level comments, which is the standard for most giveaways. Replies to other comments are not included.

Not when “One entry per user” is turned on – each channel can only appear once in the draw, and winners are never repeated in a single pick.

No. Spinpik is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google. Please follow YouTube’s contest policies when running a giveaway.
