  "account": "An open-source, multilingual giveaway bot for Discord has been developed, designed to function seamlessly even after server restarts. Users can enter giveaways with a single button click, while the bot allows for customizing emojis, labels, and styles. The giveaway schedule operates on a poll-based system, ensuring no potential winner is overlooked in the event of a server restart. The bot also offers a weighted bonus system, granting additional entries to participants based on their roles, with a maximum of 100 bonus entries available.\n\nEligibility for participation can be controlled through whitelists and blacklists, specifying server-wide or per-guild rules. Additional requirements such as a minimum account age and server membership can also be set. The bot provides the ability to pause, resume, edit, and extend ongoing giveaways, as well as the option to reroll all winners or replace a single winner. Templates are available for recurring giveaways, ending-soon notifications, and automated winner direct messages.\n\nA web-based dashboard is provided, accessible via Discord login, allowing users to monitor and manage public results for each giveaway. The bot can also be integrated with a Tebex store, granting each winner a personalized single-use discount code via direct message. The project operates under an AGPL-3.0 license, ensuring transparency and community involvement, with more information available at the project's overview page and documentation site.",
