We were surprised when we found out this feature wasn’t already existing, but our main goal was to streamline the giveaway process. The application is divided between 2 types of users – the streamer and the subscriber. The streamer can hold multiple types of raffles on the app – “custom”, “trivia”, “boundary” and “random”.
Twiffle allowed for sponsors to host giveaways on Twitch channels.
