Frequently Asked Questions
WBPicker is a tool that picks a random winner from the comments on any public Weibo post. You paste the link, it pulls the comments, and it draws a winner for you. It was built for brands, shops, and creators who run giveaways on Weibo and want a fair, hands-off way to choose who wins.
WBPicker is a Weibo comment picker built for giveaways and contests. You give it the link to a public Weibo post, it reads the entries, and it draws a random winner. It saves you from screenshotting comments, counting them by hand, or trying to convince your followers that a manual pick was fair.
You get 3 free trials when you start, so you can run real draws before paying anything. After that, paid plans unlock more draws and bigger comment counts. You can see what each plan includes on the pricing page: https://wbpicker.com/pricing
Three steps. You paste the URL of your Weibo post, the tool pulls in the comments and interactions, and you hit pick. The winner is chosen at random and shown to you straight away. The whole process takes seconds, even on posts with a lot of comments.
Every eligible comment gets an equal shot. The pick is made at random with no weighting toward likes, follower count, or who commented first. You can re-run a draw and watch a different name come up, which is usually the quickest way to convince yourself nothing is rigged.
You get 3 free trials when you start. These are full draws on real posts, not stripped-down demos, so you can run an actual giveaway from end to end before deciding whether to pay for a plan.
Yes. Comments are the most common entry method, but plenty of Weibo giveaways ask people to repost. WBPicker can read those interactions too, so you can run "comment to enter" and "repost to enter" contests with the same tool.
Paid plans unlock more draws and let you handle posts with larger comment counts. The current prices and what each plan includes are on the pricing page: https://wbpicker.com/pricing. There's a tier for occasional giveaways and bigger options for people running them often.
For most public posts, no. You just need the link to the post. The comments on a public Weibo post are already visible to anyone, and that's what the picker reads. Private or restricted posts won't work, since the entries aren't public in the first place.
Yes. You can remove duplicate comments so one person can't enter ten times, and you can filter for entries that follow your rules, such as comments that mention a friend or include a specific hashtag. That way only the people who actually entered correctly are in the draw.
It works beyond just comments. Comment-to-enter is the most common giveaway type, but many run on reposts. WBPicker can read those interactions, so you can run repost giveaways with the same tool you use for comment ones.
Yes, and that's the point of the whole thing. Every eligible entry has the same chance of winning, with no weighting toward likes or follower counts. You can re-run a draw to see a different name come up, which is the simplest way to prove to yourself and your audience that nothing is fixed.
You can. Set how many winners you need and the tool will draw them all at once. You can also pull a few backup winners in the same draw, which is handy for when your first pick never claims the prize and you need a replacement without running everything again.
For most public posts, no. The comments on a public Weibo post are visible to anyone, and that's what the picker reads, so all you need is the link. Posts that are private or restricted won't work, because the entries aren't public to begin with.
