not just title, the content as well. The only reason you created this topic is to ask ppl to add you to whitelists, groups etc to give you big chances on wins - this is begging and will get you into shitload of blacklists, no matter what you change the topic name into.

Not really, I needed informations too which other users here just provided me :) So It's very usefull topic for me even if it won't get mo on any other whitelists and maybe there is somebody else who don't know how this system works exactly :)

I should have explained myself
to some members something like that can be seen as begging, you shouldn't ask that from people.
Just continue making GAs, participate in the forums and someone will put you on his whitelist

Little advice: change thread header to something more neutral. Looks like begging, to be honest =)

And about your question, I add few categories of users into my WL:
1) the ones I know IRL (1 user)
2) users, who has read descriptions in my GAs and did what I've asked (there are really simply things)
3) people from forums
4) winners of my GAs (if their sent/won ratio looks good to me)
5) people who whitelisted me

You'll get into whitelists by being an active member of the community and being friendly, helpful and/or generous. You're unlikely to get added to any by just asking.

The reason I made this thread was exactly because it appeared for me that bing active on forum is not connected with getting on whitelist, but more like trading deal. So my mistake if it is for being good user of forum :)

I'm just starting 'living' here so I guess i need more time :D thanks

Being active (and nice) in the forum and having a good won/sent ratio are the main things that get you whitelisted

Well your ratio is good, 2/8! Keep participating in forum, be nice, don't spam mindless "thank you" messages (post something personal)... and that's pretty much it :]

It would be very good, when you don't just say Thank you. How about discussing in the Comments?

I always prefer a simple "Thank you" over no comment at all. :)

i first thought you mean wishlist :D
for whitelist, you have to be friendly, need a high level and you should give away good games
i got most of the time only lvl 6+ on my whitelists :D and most are people i know

and i'm maybe on 2-3 whitelists, one for being a good group member, one for spending more games than winning and one... i have no plan :D
i never post a thank you message in GAs :D i just enter them, but if i REALLY want the game i say more than just thank you

You know I'm giving away games any time I get one that I don't need or have some money left, but I'm now finishing my engineering degree and I can't really afford that many games to become 6+ level member :D

Yea, looks like you're right. I think it should be afroasianlist, afroaustralianlist and afroantarticlist too.

Groups that increase your chances:

  1. There are a lot of public groups that anyone can enter that make giveaways. You just have to find them. You can do that by just selecting a user at random and entering every giveaway group he is in :P
  2. The are also private groups, which are better, and they often recruit in the forums, but you have to meet their requirements and follow their rules.
  3. As for whitelists, all you have to do to get in them is get noticed (in a good way). Just be friendly and nice, and try to stand out (but not by spamming). Having a memorable avatar helps :P

Also, if you have the time, puzzle giveaways tend to have a very high win chance, so try to solve those.

To be honest i hear first time about puzzle giveaways and puzzles is kind of my hobby not only in games :P

Where can I find them? In threads on forum?

Most of SG puzzles you will find here: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussions/puzzles (but there's also hidden one in other categories)

And to get started I'd suggest reading this guide: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/TLR8m/zelgh-magic-guide-to-basic-sg-puzzling-update-june-2015
