If you haven't won a game yet, here's your best chance! (~1:5 odds). The only requirements are that you (1) haven't won a game, and (2) have given at least one game. If you don't meet the second requirement, now is the time to do something about it. You can even do it without spending money, if that's an issue.

The current giveaway is for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Note: This giveaway uses SGTools. Read this if you’re new to this type of giveaways and need some guidance. It's really easy! And if for it doesn't work for you, then try clicking Home --> Synchronize (on SGTools site)

You may want to re-visit this thread regularly for more giveaways!

Thank you thatsok9 for coming up with this idea and for letting me carry the torch :-)

need 1 more entry for "Never Alone" to be valid, the rest of the games it seems will have to be thrown in the mix again as they have not gathered enough entries. so if anyone out there that still has ZERO wins and is at least level 1 is welcomed to joined any GA still open in this thread.

When you say "thrown in the mix again" you mean update the rule to be less restrictive or create the GA again? Because the latter isn't really an option if you have any entries (even 1). You can delete such GAs, but you would lose GA slots.

Most probably these games will be thrown in a public GA and i shall add some others that might attract more people..i have time until Sunday then i shall be away for at least a month. About the less restrictive rule : i only enforce the rule of not having won anything and be level 1 nothing more(is it that restrictive? especially with the fact you can be level 1 with 0.01$ GA..)

If you get any entries for these GAs before they finish you won't be able to create public GAs for them. You will need to deliver the key to the winner, even if he/she is the only entry. The only other option is to delete the GAs, but then you lose GA slots for each deleted GA.

To see how many slots you currently have, start creating a new GA. You will see at the top of the screen something like "You're able to create up to X additional gifts based on your giveaway feedback".

Not having won anything is a very restrictive rule. That's why you have so few entries. Remove this and you will easily get more entries, especially if you post it in another thread (this thread's title doesn't invite those who already won).

Just to clarify this in case it hasn't been said already: having less than five entries only mean that you won't get any CV towards your level from it and that's all. The winner is still a winner like in any other giveaway even if theirs was the only entry.

You don't have to give up on CV. It's easy to get more entries. Quote from the OP:

The simplest way to increase the number of entries quickly is to edit the SGTools filter to a less restrictive one, then post the link again in this thread. If you want to ensure that unlucky users (who previously joined the GA from this thread) will still get a good chance, you can update the filter limiting the number of entries. Specifying a value under "Maximum number of Entries" will ensure that not too many users join during after the filter is updated to a less restrictive one.

done, updated with your new rule-set with max entries of 6 people so we keep the odds as stated in the title of the thread.

Changed admission rules to permit a more lenient entry, so people that still want any/some games are welcomed to join in the GAs of their preference. MAX ENTRIES per GA is 6 people so you have good odds.

I added a reference here. Note that many people just check that they pass the filter and get the link without actually entering the GA, consuming one of those 6 "entries", so you may need to update the number again to let more through...

damn this is getting complicated :), i had no idea , i shall check every couple of hours and see how the entries are faring. I kindly thank you Yirg for your assistance !

edit: just checking to see how to delete entries that are not participating, and i cannot come to a result, heck when i tried to see if the rules work it registered my entry and i want to delete that:)

You just have to add to that entry number rule if you want more people in.

I don't think you need to worry too much about getting the giveaway to have only 5 or 6 entries. Even 10 entries would provide much better odds than what most people will ever get from other giveaways. Keep it simple :-)

that is actually what i did..limit on 10 for every game, at least it leaves with some free time instead of checking the website every 30 min :). so is the ip block problem over now ?

edit: your comment in that thread about "perpetual 5" brought new entries galore, now it's 4/5 people on every entry, so mission accomplished i guess :)

where are you from so i can thank you in your language ? :P but seriously, thank you yet again !

smoked a few, (thats why the name is green) and already gobbled up 3x 0,5 ltr heineken, but switched to bacardi-cola to prevent removing the 6-pack on my belly....; just got to 35% in the game, will continue when i am seeing single again instead of double,,, but love the setting and ability to switch between human and fox....

Thank you for the contribution!

As for the filter, you could achive the same thing by just leaving the custom rule num_won==0&&num_sent>=1 and not defining any of these:

Minimum Real CV (Sent): 1
Maximum Real CV (Sent): 9999999
Minimum Real CV (Won): 0
Maximum Real CV (Won): 0
Minimum Real CV on Public Giveaways (Sent): 0
Minimum Real CV on Private Giveaways (Sent): 0
Minimum Real CV on Group/Whitelist Giveaways (Sent): 0
Minimum ratio using Real Value of gifts Sent/Won on Steamgifts: 0
Maximum ratio using Real Value of gifts Sent/Won on Steamgifts: 0

Similarly, these two are meaningless for someone who never won:

Your account must have activated all the won gifts
Your account is not allowed to have won the same game multiple times.

As for VAC bans, I tend to leave it out because there are false positives. Instead, I include && !VAC_economy_ban at the end of the custom rule. There are no false positives with people who were trade banned as far as I know.

If there's room, I'd love to sign up as a dirty filthy leech. Though I'm not 100% sure what's going on. I meet all the requirements I'm pretty sure so that's not a problem.

Issue is, you're capping GA entries to 5? Am I understanding that correctly? So do I have to dig and claw through the mud to find a link on here or is there some group where everything is posted? I think that sums up my questions for now!

My giveaways are not capped, but I believe the problem in this case is that you have already won a game. This thread is for those with zero wins. You should check out that Unlucky7 group for further wins.

Ah and yeah joined that group they seem like a really good bunch though numbers are getting higher and higher, not too many people entering gibs though all things considered. Was just hoping to get a shot at Talos Principle. thanks for letting me know I was just lucky enough to be unlucky! lol

Don't worry about giveaways. Relocating sounds like a much bigger challenge. Luckily for me it's only a short trip, though 3 countries in 5 days is hardly my idea of fun. On the bright side, I will have a bit more than a whole day for myself in London :-)
