remove myself from some "less desired" GAs.
:scratches head:
when exactly I receive the winning notification (that flashing cat GIF)?
Immediately, but it doesn't always pop up as it should, or it can show up in another open Steamgifts tab, so it's easy to miss.
When GA ends, I hit F5 and do not see the gif, does that mean for 100% I did not win or can I still win that game an hour or day later?
You can just ignore the entire concept of the popup, it's not a meaningful site element. A more reliable approach is to check whether you have a red number on your win trophy icon on the top of the page. If you've won, it'll show a red 1 on it (which will start flashing once the GA creator has confirmed sending the game). The pop-up is just there for added visual flair, and to make wins feel more impactful.
Of course, as noted by others above, rerolls can still get you a win later on (which is treated the same as any other win, triggering both the icon alert and the cat pop-up), but otherwise you'll know immediately whether you won a giveaway or not just by checking against the presence (or lack of presence) of a win alert on the icon at the top of the page.

Hello,
did not find that in the FAQ - when exactly I receive the winning notification (that flashing cat GIF)? Is it automatic right after when GA ends or the creator must approve me first? When GA ends, I hit F5 and do not see the gif, does that mean for 100% I did not win or can I still win that game an hour or day later?
I am asking because I do not want to lose my Unlucky-7 status yet so after I win 7th game if I will have time to react and remove myself from some "less desired" GAs.. :)
