I'm not sure, if you are aware of this issue, but in this particular instance SGTools shows as wins not activated games, that either have not been won at all (1st) or have been marked as not received (2nd) (info from a mod responding to my report), both of which do not show on the list of games won by the player in question. Cheers :)

I won the game Shatter. I activated and played it already, but SGTools lists it as "Not activated Gift":
Comment has been collapsed.
interesting, I can't see it in your library, neither SteamDB
I got the game too and it's visible there.
You didn't mark it as private right?
Comment has been collapsed.
No I did not. Everything looks like it should in my library.
Comment has been collapsed.
That would be the only explanation.
Do you have the SteamDB extension installed? If yes, which subid does it show as owned here
https://steamdb.info/app/20820/subs/
Comment has been collapsed.
I installed the extension and none of the subids shows as owned. I received the game as a gift through steam, if that helps.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can you verify the extension works by looking up a game you own?
Can you make sure it isn't set to private:
Comment has been collapsed.
You were right! I did not see the option to set it to private so I closed steam to update it to the latest version. For some reason Shatter was set to private. I changed that and now everything is fine. Thanks for your help! :)

I activated DuckTales Remastered but the rules checker says I don't.
Although the game I activated did not have two points in its name, I verified this time that the IDs are the same.
I've already forced the two sites to sync.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't see the game in your owned games either, check that you didn't hide it.
Forcing a resync will do nothing in this case, as the forced resync just clears your cache and checks your won games from steamgifts and that has not changed

I have activated it on my account, but when I checked at SG tolls why did it say I didn't activate it..? Is there anyone who can help with the answer..? Thank you if someone replies to this message, have a nice day

I cannot see the game in your profile, maybe the game is set as private.

Hi GediKnight,
It's most likely related to steam redeeming gifts as private by default: more info in this thread
Neither the api or looking at your account by hand shows the game as owned.
Comment has been collapsed.
The other Games that showed up were set to Private which i changed to remove them but this Game doesn't have that option for some reason
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you sure you got the correct game? You have like 3 with similar names but none of them is the one from the giveaway
Comment has been collapsed.
Game should be correctly reported by Steam Api because steamdb has statistics on player count for that game, yet your account doesn't report the game as owned.
Can you double check that is not set to private and that you actually own the game with the same name (there are 18+ similar games)? There's only one steam appid for that game so it should be exactly the one that is reported in the giveaway.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, i click on the Game link from the GA and i own it, there is also no Privae Mode for this Game that i can see
Comment has been collapsed.
The option only seems to appear in the steam client when you are in the steam client beta.
Through the website it's easier to set it to not private, please check that. It's all explained in the link from the first reply

When i try try it that way the game does not show up, i can only see it in my libruary but there is no private setting there so i guess it cant be fixed

I saw in the steam discussions of this game that I'm not the only one with this problem. It's a problem of the steam or the game. I have it in my library but doesn't appear in the "All games" from my profile.

Actually, now that I triple checked, I think I'm wrong, he has another unrelated 3D Pinball game in his library, I believe the tool is right, sorry

Hello,
Months ago, I won this giveaway : https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/T3vT0/logic-and-candy
The problem is that this game is removed since months of steam, but really removed (also from my library), so what can i do, it prevent me to join giveaway from sgtools..
Comment has been collapsed.
I found something strange about deleting / make private games from deleted giveaways :
if you do so, they still appears as non-activated on sgtools, even if the giveaway is no more on steamgifts.
It was many month ago, maybe more than a year, and tere is still this problem.
Comment has been collapsed.
The owned of the account has to do a forced resync to solve it

I resync on steamgifts multiple times, and it changed nothing :/
or I must doing something else ?
(since it don't work, I reactivated immediatly the games from deleted giveaway to have no problems)

I won a game 2m ago and I received a message from steam saying that they have a problem with the payment, so the game is not in my account anymore.

A ticket to steamgifts support is the best way to handle this, as it's most likely another case of dev vs bundle site disagreement.

Game got removed from Steam too. https://steamdb.info/app/2630670/
Comment has been collapsed.
I was told by the sgtools page itself to report here any games not recognized as owned, so:
"Grimland" is one being recognized as not owned, most likely because it's page is no longer existant on Steam
And "Traffic Racing" is another one, most likely same reason

Hey,
there seems to ahve been a big wave of game removals: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/92nUU/it-seems-a-lot-of-small-games-have-disappeared-from-steam-this-evening
Comment has been collapsed.
It's weird, it seems not all games were flagged by SG Tools. Like for example, I won Weird Japan here, and also Make a word. Both got removed but only Weird Japan gets flagged by SG Tools. I have no idea what the difference is.
Comment has been collapsed.
The other one was probably on the "false positive" list before.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, yes that makes more sense. :)
Edit: More a FYI for knsys, but when someone checks my game list, one of the games is not there, while the other (Make a word) is though, so there might be something else going on too.

all these games are only removed since a few hours, but I hope they will soon be flagged, so users from steamgifts won't suffer from a wave of false positive :/

Can you help me pls? I'm trying to enter the giveaway, but I'm being told that there are unactivated games on my account. I've picked up all the games over the last few years, there should be no errors. Only some of the recent games have been deleted from steam.
Which games (deleted) I suspecting:

Comment has been collapsed.
Whoa, Steam says the game is activated in April 2021, but I now understand why I was suspected. It was a paid game, and when I started deleting the lists of free games, I deleted this one because it became free.
Edit: Working! Thank you. I just forgot that I can check which games are not activated. Haven't used it in a while.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm unable to login to the website via Steam. I've tried different broswers, allowing cookies, etc. No luck at all. Anytime I login, the page just refreshes back to needing to login or it will take me back to sgtools where I'm still not logged in. Basically an endless loop of asking me to login, I login, but still not logged in.
(edit)
Randomly started working today (I did nothing new) đ

Hey,
as a follow up on this thread:
SGTools shows "STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order" as no value, SG shows full value.
Is this intended by you or some kind of bug (Maybe because EA Play is the first option to buy?)?
Comment has been collapsed.
Steamgifts added it to the free list as a free game since 2021-07-14 (I would guess by mistake) and then removed it.
SGTools doesn't currently handle the removal of games on the free list automatically, so it stayed there. I manually removed the entry from it
Comment has been collapsed.
In this case, would you mind fixing these games as well? They had temporarily "no cv", but now count as "reduced cv":

Hey, could you fix this please, game is removed from steam and revoked from users, and it do a false flag on sgtools :

If it's a revoked game, you have to talk to steamgifts' support for them to delete the actual giveaway and once that is done, force a resync on sgtools (not a normal resync, a forced one, you will see the link after a normal resync)
Comment has been collapsed.
The problem is that SG teams say it can take couple of month for them to delete the giveaway, and told me to ask you to contact.
The fact is that the game has been DELETED from steam and revoked to everyone. I'm not the only user who got it removed from my account. And the fact that SG tools trigger a unactived game on my account prevent me from joining some groups (even if I already explained why to the admin), so it could help me if you fix it please..

Re: Very false positives
Hi folks. I routinely use the SGTools checkers after giveaways before I send along game keys, and recently one user turned up with a whopping 19 games reported as not activated. I also routinely spot-check the results to be sure, and in this case the first three games I looked at were properly in the user's Steam account, visible without any monkeyshines. I opened a support ticket to see if they had any record of suspensions that needed to be served or games not activated, and they reported - super quickly, thank you Support! - that their tools showed the user in good standing with no infractions. They didn't speculate about the SGTools results.
I thought I'd follow up on it here, but I don't want to go tossing around identities in public - happy to help debug via email or Steam chat, out of public view.
Comment has been collapsed.
That sounds like a case of reusing a username on steamgifts after another user deleted his account. SGTools still links that username to the other steam profile and not the new one, as it was not posible to delete your steamgifts account when SGTools was still on active development.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, interesting! I had a feeling that it was like the wrong account was connected. So it's something I can safely ignore, and I can't imagine it comes up all that often. Thanks for the info.

The tool says that I have not activated "Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition". I think the bundle is not recognized.
Comment has been collapsed.
you have the original game in your library and not the Definitive Edition
Comment has been collapsed.
I assumed that it was the Definitive Edition because the DLCs were included, especially as it was declared as such by the gifter.
Unfortunately I can't see the edition in my store as it is no longer available in my country.
Now I'm smarter

You received

Hello people!
The tool reports that I didn't activate "3DMark 11". I have won and activated 3DMark but seem like there is a version issue.
3DMark 11 itself is no longer supported in steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/205270/3DMark_11/
I didn't thought much back then but probably I should have mark it as not received: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/tnh63/3dmark-11
Anyway to fix this?
Comment has been collapsed.
You can ask steamgifts support to change the game of the giveaway, mark it as not received for your or delete it altogether.
Comment has been collapsed.
I raise the issue to the SG support and they believe the report from SGTools is a false positive, as I did actually activate the game I won, there seems to be just a versioning issue as the 3DMark 11 itself is removed from the Steam store. Maybe you can update the SGTools database to reflect this? Is it possible to solve this manual? I can also provide the screenshot of activation event etc.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not in your library, what you have is

Comment has been collapsed.
If you read my original message, I am aware of this. But the other one is removed from Steam store anyway, how am I going to get into my library. This is obvious that it is same software with just different version. They removed one from Steam and added another.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see it that way but their site, their rules. I've added 3DMark 11 as an equivalent to 3DMark so it doesn't flag it if you own the latter.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am in contact with support and seems like they acknowledged that it should have been marked as not received.
I am going to prove the activation and change my feedback. You can revert the change you made. But thank you for the cooperation and help.

I get this and I know my profile is not private.
Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private.
This also can happen when Steam is down when you account synchronizes, if that is the case synchronize again.

Checking your account, Centipede: Recharged shows as not activated.
Edit: If you got the game as a gift on Steam, take a look if it is set to private by default.
