The Big Game Stream

What is the Big Game Stream?

The Big Game Stream is a live, interactive livestream on Whatnot hosted by MrBeast, featuring major giveaways, special guest appearances, and live moments happening in real time during the Big Game weekend on Feb 8. The livestream will run for approximately one hour, with the exact start time announced closer to the event.

Is this the same as Big Game Deals or seller promos?

No. This stream is separate from any deals, promotions, or seller programs, like the The Big Game / Deal Mania Promotion. It’s a standalone live event focused on entertainment, giveaways, and audience participation.

Do I need to buy anything to watch?

No. Anyone can watch the livestream for free in the Whatnot app. No purchase is required to watch.

How do giveaways work during the stream?

Giveaways happen live during the stream.

• Entry instructions appear directly in the app
• Winners are selected live or shortly after
• Each giveaway has its own entry window and rules

For more information on how giveaways work on Whatnot, see here.

What types of prizes are being given away?

Prizes will include a mix of high-value items and collectibles. Exact prizes, quantities, and timing are announced live during the stream. You can see the full list of prizes and official rules here. 

Who is eligible to win?

Eligibility depends on local laws and regulations, age requirements, and country or region. Eligibility requirements apply equally to new and existing accounts. Please refer to the official rules for eligibility, prize fulfillment, and any shipping or regional restrictions.

I won a giveaway. What happens next?

Congrats! Our team will follow up with you via the email associated with your Whatnot account to confirm eligibility and organize fulfillment of your prize. Fulfillment timing varies by prize, and follow-up emails may take several days after the stream depending on the prize.

Can I enter more than one giveaway?

Yes. Each giveaway is separate, and you can enter multiple giveaways throughout the stream as long as you meet eligibility requirements.

Is the stream available internationally?

Yes, the stream is global. Eligibility, shipping, and regional restrictions vary by prize. Please refer to the official rules for full details. 

Will MrBeast be live the entire time?

MrBeast is the primary host of the stream. Other guests, creators, athletes, or sellers may join for specific segments.

Can sellers participate?

Seller participation as an on-stream co-host is by invitation only. This is a curated broadcast, not an open seller event. All eligible Whatnot sellers (and buyers) are still able to join as viewers and enter the giveaways.

Where do I watch the stream?

You can watch it directly in the Whatnot app. The stream will be promoted in-app and on social channels ahead of the event. The Big Game Stream is best experienced in the Whatnot mobile app, and some features such as chat and giveaway entry may not be fully supported outside the app.

I’m having technical issues during the stream

Please make sure your app is updated, try restarting it, and check your internet connection. If issues persist, contact Whatnot Support with your device type and a description of what you’re seeing.

I tried to enter a giveaway and something went wrong

If you weren’t able to enter:

• Make sure you’re logged into your Whatnot account
• Check that the giveaway entry window was still open
• Ensure your app is fully updated

Giveaways are time-bound and entry is not guaranteed if technical or eligibility requirements aren’t met. For more details, see the giveaway help article. 

It looks like a bot or fake account won

Whatnot has systems in place to detect and prevent abuse. All winners are subject to verification before prizes are fulfilled. If a winner does not meet eligibility or verification requirements, they will not receive the prize. Please refer to the official rules for details.
