I like this. Thanks cg!
One question though, will it be possible to create a giveaway for multiple groups? f.e. two groups at a time?

Also, Snesso suggested an option for having a giveaway apply to multiple groups. We'll try to get that setup in the future as well.

Hmm, good question. Like cccino said, these sound like a type of private giveaway. But the goal of the point system is to keep people entering 10% (or 5% now?) of the giveaways on the site. If there enough giveaways in say the s gifts group, that don't add points, then people who are in that group would only be able to enter less than the target percentage of giveaways. I think?
This wouldn't have much effect in small numbers. But it seems a lot of people don't check the forums much (at all?) and so giveaways posted to the S. Gifts group will have better odds for users active in the community here; I expect it to get pretty popular. If the number of giveaways exclusive to this group or others gets significant, it'll start to have this effect. I bet they've already considered this and set it appropriately.
This is an awesome feature though. However they decide to implement it, I think it'll help this operation grow in a positive way.

As I already mentioned in the CoH giveaway this is a great addition to the site, thanks for the work sir cg! :3
Will it be possible to filter the "group only" giveaways through the dropbox thing-a-majig on the right?
And, if I might allow myself, I think a bookmarking giveaways feature would be nice as well. For example if you don't have the necessary points to enter it or if you want to just monitor the particular one because there's something interesting going on in the comments section.

Is there any way of telling from which giveaway is from which group?

There is a sign "This giveaway is only viewable to members of the XXXX Steam group." when you get on the giveaways page.
Don't know whether you can actually even access it via link or if you just can't push the "enter" button when you're not part of the given group though.

I am a member of the steam gifts group but it tells me that I'm not a member of the group.

Brilliant! I really like that your groups are now tracked so that you can see the giveaways- much easier than dealing with links.

This is AWESOME. I'd love to see the site open up a bit, this way we can do giveaways for our groups we manage and as long as all users in my group can get an account, this can be the best way to host a giveaway for a game!
Amazing work guys! Thanks!

PS, I wouldn't mind getting some invites to more S.Gifts private groups 0_O ;)

Sorry, quick question.
Can we add the green "group" banner in the main list on the homepage.
This will allow us to see which giveaways we have a better shot at winning :)
Thanks

The funny thing the amount of poeple in the giveaways. Looks like a LOT of users don't even check the forums :P
Nice feature :)

There's a new feature on the site, so you're now able to limit your giveaway to a particular Steam group. When creating a giveaway, select the Steam Group option, along with one of your groups. If you don't see your group on the page, you might need to sync your account. They offer a few major benefits...
Also, Snesso suggested an option for having a giveaway apply to multiple groups. We'll try to get that setup in the future as well.
For example, here's a giveaway for Crazy Taxi, available to members of our group.
