I think you're having a hard time with understanding the rules. People breaking rules get less helpful replies.
Anyways; yes, Arma 3 may have been deleted, and normally you'll get points back. I don't know why you didn't in this case. (Maybe you were already at max points - I think it was changed so you can't go over 300 even with "refunds".)
About winning a game - you won Defy Gravity, it doesn't show in your Steam profile, and you gave away Defy Gravity.

your right I did give away defy gravity and then later I won another copy, I regifted nothing. Get your facts straight before you start throwing accusations of rule breaking around.
If you must know what happened was I must have hit the put into inventory button when I accepted it instead adding it to my games list. I have just checked my inventory and sure enough there it was and has now been added to my list.

There's a rule on steamgifts that you must activate the games that you win. The reasoning is, if you didn't want the game, then you shouldn't be entering the giveaway in the first place. Regifting is considered even worse and might get you onto the blacklists of some people.
What you can do though, is buy Defy Gravity on the store and activate it. At least that way you won't be quite breaking the rules, as you will still have activated the game within the 7-day window after the giveaway ended. You might want to jump on Steam and group it in the next 4-5 hours though to get it while it's cheap.
EDIT... If it's now activated, as I see you've made another reply, all is good. In any case, in future it's best to wait til you've activated your win before marking it as received to avoid any trouble.

Points are free so why do you even care. Maybe it needs some time or maybe they are gone forever. :)

I entered a giveaway for a copy of Arma III which cost 60 points.
The game is now not showing on my entered, or closed lists which I assume means for some reason the giveaway was deleted.
I would have thought if the giveaway was removed it should count all entries as canceled and give the points back?
