Hi,
I won a giveaway but steam says the the product has already been activated on a different steam account.
I can't contact creator or visit the giveaway to leave a message, cause the creator blacklisted me.
Should i just mark the giveaway as "not received" after 7 days?

Yes or according to SG rule you will get banned for not activating the game. Happened to me 9 years ago marked a game received but the key was duplicate and i got banned for 2 days i think. I was new.

Yes. When you are able mark it not received. Do not mark it received unless it is exactly the game in giveaway.

DO NOT ABSOLUTELY DO THIS!

It can result in your steam account being temporarily suspended.

Look at his Won GAs. If he left a 'Thank you' note in one of them, you can reply to it.

Leaving a comment on someone's Steam profile referencing SteamGifts is risky because it can lead to a Community ban.

Search for the game you won in the archive and look for a GA whose timestamp matches the time of your win. The creator's name will be shown there.

Just go to GAs page, where it's written, that you are blacklisted, copy the address and then open the page in another browser or after logging out of SG. You will see the GA, unless it was for group. Same thing can be used to go past blacklisted GAs in community trains.

Thank you for showing me the way. I contacted the creator.

If you are blacklisted by giveaway creator, you can still view the giveaway page in incognito mode because you are not logged into your account. It will not work with whitelist or group giveaways, but it works with public or invite only giveaways. This is most useful with community trains, as there are many giveaways with different creators.
