Hi, just wondering on average, how many entries does a user make, before they win anything? I have entered quite a lot, and have yet to win a thing. how many entries do you think would merit a win? my guess is around 700.

Read the FAQ, it says how it works.

There are chances you could win from your first entry as well as enter like 2000 times and not win anything.

In the latter case, try applying for the Steam Losers community group, i.e S.Losers.

However the stats are missing what the OP asked for. If I get it right, he wants a statistical average for the first win. The stats list your odds per entry, but not the median of entries/wins of all successful(!) steamgift users. It would be interesting for sure.

Let's put it this way: if every giveaway you enter has 999 other people entering it, then after 700 entries there is a 49.6% chance that you wouldn't have won a single giveaway.

You'll find we have this fair system, where people who joined a month ago and contributed nothing to the community who then complains on the forums about not winning, have a 0% chance of winning.

... Wait... No we don't. Guess things are much better than you thought.

Even public giveaways with 4000 entries have a winner and even private ones with 2 have a loser.

almnost 700 without public win. I just hate to see when someone with less than 50 wins and probably never plays the game. But ehh, luck, just be thankful to those who give.

It is random. There are people with 1:1, and people with 1000+:0. Hang in there.

No, I meant along the lines "I've entered xxx amount of giveaways, surely now I'm entitled to a win"

Generally speaking, your chances now are no better than when you entered your first giveaway. Go and read Greg Egan: Into Darkness. It's sci-fi, it's good, and it also happens to explain this.

well think of this :

1 person entering = 100% chance of winning.

2 person entering = 50% chance of winning.

100 person entering = 1% chance of winning.

so i guess it's all depends on each person luck at that moment.
