you could request a reroll on the basis that the winner is suspended i think.

Really?? I suspecting a re-roll would be in order, coz hypothetically I wouldn't be able to gift it, so should one have to wait until they are unsuspended?? Is that offical rules?? Thanks.

Is he suspended via steam or steam gifts? I shoulda been more helpful in hindsight sorry,

Essentially you could reroll BUT usually its like if someone doesn't take your gift you have to wait 7 days, and as his suspension only last 5 days I personally would wait those 5 days and gift it, he got the suspension from entering more giveaways and posting on forums, he shouldn't have to lose what he rightfully won also.

no dont reroll, add him on steam and ask him how long he is suspended for, if it is like a few weeks or days, wait till he isnt suspened then give it to him, but if its perma then reroll

Yeh, I can't see it covered in the rules / guidelines, so I've opened a ticket to find out.

But would I have to? like I wouldn't be able to gift right. So I could just report to get re-rolled before they unsuspended?

you wait till the suspension is over,then you contact him to give him the game(through steam chat is better) and if he does not reply after 2 days from his suspension,you can ask for a reroll

You dont need to wait, you can ask for a re-roll immediately and even put in that you are asking because of the suspension, either support will grant it or deny it and tell you to wait, etc.

You can ask for a reroll immediately if someone is under a suspension, but it's a complete dick move. I won a AAA 50p game, then was suspended for 1 day for "calling out". The gifter asked for reroll and for some reason, support (probably the one that gave the suspension) was super quick that day and immediately rerolled. I'm still pissed about it, considering that most people other than the one who suspended me agreed that if wasn't something I should have been suspended for.

In summary, please don't be a dick, unless you believe this person was suspended for regifting or scamming or something heinous.

I wouldnt have thought that support would re-roll in such a situation :/ I was thinking more along the lines of long term suspensions or bans.

I think minimum ban is 2 days, but of course with the timing system here, it displays as 1 day after the very first second :P

Assuming the person was suspended for regifting, non-activation, trading, boosting, leaking private puzzle giveaways or some other act of odious ballbaggery that makes him/her not worthy of your games, you're well within your rights to ask for a re-roll, and I'd encourage you to do so.

As Jatan says, I suppose you could take a different view if the suspension is for something you might consider a "lesser offence" (maybe calling out, or starting a spam thread) but it's very much up to you. Your game, your call.

^ This is the best course of action, imo. As woodchuck said, "Your game, your call."

ask the winner first on who long is the suspension.

Find out what he / she is suspended for. If it's something fairly innocuous, wait and give it to the winner. If it's for something more serious, re-roll -- no need to wait for seven days.
