Giveaways + bots

sgtools perhaps? or by simple creating a puzzle, i doubt any bot can solve puzzle and join gib automatically xD

Now I want to either delete this giveaway or make it public but I haven't heard back from support.

I can't view the giveaway because I'm not a member of the required group(s), but special rules and requirements aren't allowed for rerolls so support won't help you. However, you can delete a giveaway if it hasn't ended yet. You'll lose a slot, of course.

You better just delete the giveaway (no need for support for that, since it didn't end yet).
If you want to avoid bots, I guess make your own group/whitelist and add only whoever meets your criteria (I'm not sure how you determined the other users were bots? They didn't the description? Or it's unrelated?)

well since im whitelisted by u, I guess the majority of them had a bad give/receive ratio...
Who are your target audience? Personally i dont really care who enters my GA, its the winners that I check

how can I make sure bots don't join my giveaway?

direct gift it to someone that you know would truly play it and completely cut steamgifts.com out of the equation since you additionally stated you don't care about the CV.

I don't see any actual written restrictions in the description there.
If you mean you don't want people with a specific sent/gift ratio range or some other similar user statistic, then your only hope is pretty much SGTools or whitelist-only.

Bump !

Bump ( I guess I should have read the rest of this thread before I asked my question in the new giveaway... D'oh!).

Bump! I guess, if you want to limit people based on ratio, then sgtools would be your best option here.

Bump!

I will delete it.

Bump!
