When i came to this site i created 3 Giveaways and deleted 2 of them right away, because i wanted to save them for later.

Now when i tried to create one it told me that maximum of 3 is possible. I only have one finished Giveaway but the winner have not claim it and those 2 deleted ones. So are those deleted ones interfering somehow? Any ideas on this one?

When you delete a giveaway, you lose a giveaway slot. The only way to get it back, is to contact support.

You can get it back by contacting support?

Yes, so long as you aren't constantly deleting giveaways for stupid reasons, they will give it back.

It's not guaranteed. I never got mine back, I wasn't the one to delete it, and it wasn't even a legit deletion.

It seems that i do not get them back either :( I deleted those two in one or two minute timeframe and had no entries.

Strange. I'm sure I've read about people getting them back. Maybe it's only for people who manage to go to zero slots and are completely unable to make giveaways? Did support give you a reason?

You will need to ask the support people for more giveaway slots, it's not automatic.

Deleted giveaways permanently delete one slot from your available giveaway slots. You can contact support to add more.

Based on your current feedback score, you're able to create up to 131 additional gifts.

the more you gift the number you can have at once slowly increases, but deleting one removes a slot

Um...deleting removed your slots which is why from your 3 giveaways slots (minus 2 deleted), you are left with 1 and since its not claimed, you cannot create a new giveaway.

Why do you think saying "I don't have any trouble!" and then answering to yourself saying "ME NEITHER" is convincing?

you get a new slot for each 3 created GAs and lose slot for each 1 deleted. So you lost 2 slots - if you create 1 more GA and got marked on the finished one you will have 3 in total,, so you will get one extra slot.

This is not true. I have finished one Giveaway and it did not grant me extra slot.

Then maybe learn to read? 3 (THREE, Tres, Drei, Trzy, δΈ‰) finished and delivered GAs grant you a slot. You finished and delivered ONE, so you need TWO MORE.

And yeah - It is true - I personally have 80 slots atm.

I think that is the idea of how it works but the formula must be wrong as I have 6 previous giveaways, one in progress right now and have 3 additional slots. By your theory I should have 5 (base 3 plus 2 more) slots, less the one in use would make 4.
Wait, unless a 2 copies giveaway takes 2 slots in which case you are completely right.... um ignore me.

yup - X-copies GA takes X-slots. Otherwise a new account attempting to troll could make a GA for 1000 copies of Skyrim :>

I never thought of that. If you make one giveaway for three copies of a game, does that still earn you one slot, or just one third of a slot? Also, thank you for the puzzle guide, it helped me get a game the other day.

Each copy will act as normal. So, with my 25 copy Fortix giveaway, I got 8 extra slots.

Yeah, realised it was probably that just as I was about to hit submit.
Thanks for clearing up how slots work, should be in the FAQ somewhere but no one reads that anyway right?

well FAQ is a different story. Writing a whole FAQ for SG is really a pain in the arse and noone wants tu update it (read: write it from a scratch) ;p

When you create a giveaway, your slot remaining count goes down, and it is only replaced when the giveaway is ended and the prize received. Deleting it means the prize was never received.

Your count also goes up for every three completed giveaways.

What if there were no entries when the giveaway ended? Will it also counts as gift not received, or is it otherwise?

No. It will not count towards your "not received" total, and nor will it deplete your available giveaway slots :)
