In some months I win a couple things, in others nothing. Takes a lot of trying to win games, though smaller giveaway groups definitely up that probability. Most of my wins were from my gifting group, though I have won some public giveaways too, it does happen just not very often. And as others have suggested higher levels, region restrictions or low use time giveaways with short duration can up your chances but it's still probability and most of the time you will not win the giveaway.

Here we go again. Topic number 635,475,542 this year. It takes time. Yes some people win on their first day but thats how rng works.
Took me a month to win my first time. I see people here with hundreds of wins in the same time I have been here. I'll be lucky if I can get 31 wins total by the end of the year.

Congrats bro, you've just won!!!... A place on my blacklist. Anyways, keep trying and trying, join groups, make giveaways and DON'T CRY! That's my only advice...

ah cool a win!
on a side note this was not a crying post (except perhaps about the seeming frequency of bots or people that enter every give away even though they may not want the game

feed a stray cat/ dog then you might win something.

The longer you leave this open the more people will be able to read this whiny garbage and add you to their blacklists. Your chances of winning will be even less after they do that. I suggest that you close this and come back in a year and repost it again if you still haven't won anything. You MIGHT get sympathy then. Not after only 6 days and with as few of entries as you have had.
smh

Being a new user here, the best advice I can give you is this:
You need to decide what brings you to SG in the first place. Do you just want free games to add to your Steam account, do you want games to play, or do you want to go after Wishlisted games you cannot bring yourself to buy yet. Once you figure out what you want, jump on in to the community. The forums here are a great place for laughs, brain teasers and time wasting. The Puzzle section is a wonderful place to make use of your brain and get entered into GA's with less people so your odds are always in your favor compared to public GA's.
Also, join in discussions, try to make some friends to game with. Giveaway a game or two. Finally, just be patient! Random is Random, anyone who has played any type of MMO can tell you that. Chasing that elusive best in slot loot drop is what keeps you coming back, it's just on SG the loot is Witcher 3 and GTA V right now.

to be honest what brought me here was i had a load of steam keys and when i gave them in public forums they were gone in seconds, here seemed fairer, only those that wanted the game would enter and then randomly picked, in a few of the give aways i did though i would get a lot of entrys appear in the last few seconds all with the same "Thanks!" message from the same people, and thats whats got me suspicious there is bots.
i guess i will just enter the giveaways that interest me and hope for lady luck to smile on me, while doing give aways when i get any spare keys (though it seems if i want to avoid bots entering i need to go the puzzle route :) ...that could be fun)

Its only luck question... I won my first GA after 1500+ entries. During the year after registration I won about 5 GAs and during this month i won 7GAs. Luck finally finds me ^^

I've been on here two weeks and won once. Like everybody is saying, it's alot about luck and alittle about joining groups and getting involved where you can.

I am going to close this though as im getting a fair bit of hate, im not good with wording things so its come across as whining (though as i say i am peeved thier seems to be bots) Its not how it was ment.
I Certainly do not expect to be handed everything on a platter and im not a selfish person, im not sure how i can prove that but anyone that knows me knows i would bend over backwards to help some one.... i guess the only thing that can sort of prove it is i have given away the steam keys i had (and will continue to do so) and not tried to do trades, not that those who only trade are selfish i hasten to add before i get accused of that.

I get the feeling there may be an issue with bots here or people with way too much time entering every giveaway. I have since joining entered a fair few, always games that look interesting (and some that have been on my wish list) but havent won a single one. Had i not of given away my spare steam keys here i would be thinking winning is impossible.
have you won anything and if so how long did it take you?
EDIT
I am bad at wording things, i got a lot of hate and flak for this discusion that was really ment only as a discussion on how long its taken people to win, and how to avoid bots entering your giveaways. sadly you guys dont know me well enough to know who or what i am so some of you assumed the worst of me.
by no means was it all of you ofcourse some of you certainly joined in the discussion and to you im sorry i had to close it but i dont like being called selfish or a whiner, just not who i am and stress that i do not need.
