Your region most likely. Try to add the gift to your library, it usually pops up what region it's restricted in.

If' it's a guest pass then it probably doesn't function as a gift. Those are limited by duration right? I have one of those from Thread Space Hyperbol.
Anyway, I don't see why it would have a different region lock metric compared to other region locks so it's most likely tied to your region.

All you do is claim. You claim the message isn't true, but the message is generated by a system that generates the message based on a property. I have no reason to doubt the system, but I have reason to doubt you. Only Valve can clarify because only they get to look that up in their database. Anything else is at best empirical with a poor basis, but far from proven.

Bought and activated on Spain. Restricted message appeared anyways

I've made a pretty much similar thread :)

The answer is, if the region you activated the copy in is generally locked (like Russia) then there is lock. If on the other hand, you live in a region that doesn't see locked games (like me - Poland), then the game isn't locked at all.
Also I've made a giveaway of it and the winner didn't have any problems activating :)

So, I just bought the first tier of the new Humble Weekly so that I could activate Skulls Of The Shogun and get all those GAs off my feed, and when I activated FSP I had a gift copy turn up in my inventory. Problem is, the giftable copy says "This is a restricted gift which can only be redeemed in certain countries." but it doesn't say WHICH countires...can anyone tell me how I can find out so I can give it to someone from the right region?
Keep in mind, though, I'm not going to make an actual GA on here for it because I know that's against the rules, I'll either give it away on another site that handles restricted games OR just do a GA here in the duiscussions...I still need to find out where it can be activated though :/
