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":

That would be the only explanation.
Do you have the SteamDB extension installed? If yes, which subid does it show as owned here

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.
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.

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

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

What about this? I have it in my account.

The tool said the guy who won my giveaway never activated https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786690/Pinballer_3D_Pinball/
But he did, it's in his library.

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.
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.

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

The other one was probably on the "false positive" list before.

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:
https://steamdb.info/app/867730/
https://steamdb.info/app/2378760/
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

I'm having the same problem. Still couldn't figure out how to solve it.

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 :

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.

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.

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
https://store.steampowered.com/app/202170/Sleeping_Dogs/
the regular edition (& German only Low Violence Version)
ga was chosen as entirely different appid

they share no connection, mistake on the gifters side

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.
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.

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 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.

Did you mark the gift or game as private? I can't find it in your games list when I search.

So I was on "force sync" page and see
Account synchronized correctly
Synchronized at 2024-04-22 11:35:08
But sitll, when trying to open GA in:
https://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/94f1d5a4-96aa-44b5-beb4-064a38558f2b
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.
Comment has been collapsed.
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.
