I've just discovered this site a few week ago and I am loving it. :D

Granted part of that might have something to do with the fact that apperently I´m completly screwing up statistics right now. :D I've entered 246 Giveaways and just won my 2nd one (Bioshock) and already received that one as well.

I made a few small Giveaways to see how it works and try to spend all my Points. (mostly on smaller Giveaways)

(By the way is that basicly how points are added?: "300 is the maximum you can have and you get 300 roughly every 2 days")

Just wanted to share my completly undeserved luck with you guys since I noticed there are a few threads questioning the propabilty and some even claiming this site is bogus because they haven´t won anything yet.

So thanks (and Kudos) to everybody who put their time, money and effort in to built such an awesome community! :)

Congrats on the good luck.

Points are added for every user whenever someone makes a giveaway, simple as that. High value giveaways result in more points. So sales and great bundles = lots of points.

Hi.
It seems you know the basics already. Truth be told, I'm new here too.
So... yup, 300 points is the maximum and it's replenished as people make more giveaways. So in a day with much more giveaways than the average, the points should stack faster. In a day with much less giveaways than the average, it would take longer.
Congratulations on your games and have fun.

Love the Einstein Avatar from Cowboy Bebop.

Btw: To have better chances of winning, join some groups that hold giveaways regularly. garylovesgames is my group and we hold at least 4 giveaways a month, plus encores, plus events. Lately there have been like ~40 entries on our Skyrim and Medal Of Honor Airborne Giveaway. With 40 Entries, you have a lot better chances of winning!

Also, there are various groups that hold giveaways exclusively for group members. Being active in some of them will not be a disadvantage for you. ;) Id also recommend the Steamgifts Plus Enhancement for a better view and filter options while browsing the giveaways.

In addition, you might check the forums. There are many people who are having secret giveaways or puzzle giveaways. Its quite entertaining. :)

So, welcome and good luck for all further giveaways!

Glad you like it :D

That series basicly singlehandedly created my love for anime. I am a huge fan of Samurai Champloo as well (and the two episodes they did for Animatrix) that is why I was a little dissapointed that his new series Space Dandy, while still very funny, is a bit more etchi and imho doesn´t come remotly close to Bebop although taking place in the same universe.

I have just joined your group and am looking forward to the next giveaway. I´ll probably make some of my future giveaways group giveaways since I found out yesterday that out of my 6 giveaways finished 3 might have gone to people trading away the stuff they win. For that very reason I also installed the SteamGifts Plus addon you recommended so I can report them.

Currently I am trying to raise my CV a bit and checking recruitment threads so I can join a nice, relaxed giveaway-groups.

[Edit: Without SteamGifts Plus I would probably also have never noticed this reply :D ]

Thanks and may the RNG be with you - Have an awesome day :D

Glad to have you on board!

Bad thing is, there are always people who simply join because they are greedy. I simply hope that someone wins who really has a great time with the game. And to be honest, I met some decent people through my giveaways. I was really glad when I found out that some people who cannot really afford games have won one of my giveaways. When I look in their library and see the hours going up, I feel really glad. And thats one of my main motivations behind the giveaways. Give out some chances to people who really enjoy this stuff but cannot afford it.

On the other hand, I have also given away games to people who did not even say "thanks" or any appreciation like that. They don't have to, of course. But its kind of common courtesy. I even had some, that only added me to messade "were is ma givt??ßß". ;) And it was already send via mail. So, if you hold giveaways, try to focus on the kind folks that really appreciate the chance of getting a free game.

I don't even join giveaways anymore. Its more fun for me to give them away. But, if any of the group members decides to hold a group giveaway, I always appreciate the effort and the great gesture! :)

So, keep up the good faith and good luck for any upcoming giveaway and event! (There is some big, bad stuff comin' up)
