For the record, I'm not suggesting that raising the barrier of entry would stop beggars. I can deal with beggars, that's not the issue.

What I am suggesting that raising the barrier (to $100 or $150, which is nothing outrageous to the average Steam-user) would make it much more difficult for people to cheat the system. Would it completely stop people? Of course not. But at $50 it is in my opinion far too easy to create dummy accounts to in order to circumvent site bans and/or illegally raising your chance to win by using multiple accounts to enter giveaways.
