Giveaways
How fivemad giveaways work for players: log in with Discord, finish the tasks, enter, and how winners are picked and contacted.

fivemad giveaways are free draws run by FiveM creators: scripts, vehicle packs, MLOs, clothing, server slots, Tebex gift cards and more. You log in with Discord, finish the tasks the host set, enter, and when the timer runs out the winners are picked at random. This page explains everything from the entrant’s side.
Quick start
- Open Giveaways and pick one.
- Press Log in with Discord to enter and approve the login on Discord.
- Work through the Tasks list. Each task shows a tick when it is done.
- Press Enter giveaway once every task is done. The panel changes to You are in.
- Come back after the timer runs out to see the winners.
Finding a giveaway
The giveaways page has three tabs: Active, Ending soon and Ended. You can filter by prize type (Script, Vehicle pack, MLO, Clothing, Server slot, Tebex gift card, Discord Nitro, Other) and search by name. Each card shows the prize, the host, the time left, the number of entries, winners and tasks.
New giveaways are announced in the fivemad Discord first, so join it if you do not want to miss one.
Logging in with Discord
Giveaways use your Discord account, so there is no separate fivemad account or password.
- When you log in, Discord asks you to allow fivemad to see your name and avatar and which servers you are in. That is all the site asks for.
- The server list is how the “join a server” tasks are checked.
- Nothing gets posted for you, and the site cannot read your messages or DMs.
- Log out in the header ends your session on fivemad. To remove the app’s access completely, open Discord, User Settings, Authorized Apps, and remove it there.
Task types
A giveaway can have any mix of these tasks, or none at all (“No tasks for this one. Log in and enter.”).
| Task | What you see | What you need to do |
|---|---|---|
| Join a Discord server | “Join server on Discord” with a Join button | Join that server with the same Discord account you logged in with. |
| Have a role | “Have the role role in server” | Be a member of that server and hold the role. How you get the role is up to the host’s server (verification, reacting, levels and so on). |
| Account age | “Discord account at least N days old” | Nothing to do: your Discord account must be at least that old. This stops fresh alt accounts. |
| Visit a link | “Visit name” with an Open button | Open the link (a store page, a video, a forum post). |
Visit a link tasks cannot be checked, and the page says so: “We cannot check this one, so opening the link counts.” The task is ticked as soon as you press Open while logged in.
When a task is not done
Under an unfinished task you may see:
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| You are not in this server yet. | Press Join, join the server, then come back. |
| You do not have this role yet. | Get the role in that server first. |
| Your Discord account is too new for this giveaway. | Nothing you can do for this giveaway. |
| Log in again so we can check this. | Log out and log in again. |
| Discord did not answer. Try again in a moment. | Wait a little and press Check again. |
Check again
After you join a server in another tab, press Check again above the task list. When you switch back to the giveaway tab with a Discord task still open, the page also checks again by itself. Discord can take a few seconds to report a new join, so if a task does not tick right away, wait a moment and press Check again once more.
Entering
The button at the bottom of the panel tells you where you stand:
- Finish every task to enter: at least one task is not done yet.
- Enter giveaway: everything is done. Press it.
- You are in: you entered, with the date. Good luck.
- Entries open when the giveaway starts. / Entries are closed.: the giveaway has not started or has ended.
The tasks are checked again when you press Enter giveaway, so leaving a server right before entering does not work. You can enter each giveaway once. Copy link at the bottom of the panel copies the giveaway’s link to share.
Your entries are listed on My entries (the link at the top of the giveaways page), with the ones you won marked.
How winners are drawn
- When the timer runs out, winners are picked at random from every valid entry. The number of winners is shown on the giveaway.
- Hosts can have each picked winner checked again at draw time. Anyone who left a required server or lost a required role by then is skipped, and the next random entry is used instead. So stay in the servers until the draw is done.
- The results appear on the giveaway page with the draw date and how many entries were in the draw. If the timer just ran out, the page says the winners are being drawn; reload in a moment.
- If the host has to replace a winner later (for example one who never claimed the prize), the page shows that a winner was replaced and when.
- If nobody entered, there are no winners.
If you win
The giveaway page shows You won when you are logged in, and the giveaway is marked as won on My entries. Contact the host to claim your prize; the Contact button opens the host’s link when they set one. Have your Discord name ready. fivemad does not hand out prizes itself, the host does.
Tips
- Log in with the Discord account you actually use in those servers. Tasks are checked against that account only.
- Do not leave the host’s server right after entering. With the draw re-check on, you would be skipped.
- Times are shown in your own time zone.
Limitations
- Giveaways are run by their hosts. fivemad checks the tasks and runs the draw, but the prize and its delivery are between you and the host.
- An account that is blocked from giveaways sees “This account cannot join giveaways.” at login.
- Pages in other languages have the same giveaways; only the page text is translated.
