Nice & thanks in advance!
Just a heads up though: publicly calling out people and having a "list to blacklist" will most likely get you in trouble with the mods, so I'd advise against doing that. I'd generally say: just blacklist them yourself and report them if possible.
P.S. Still haven't used SG Tools custom rules much yet, so if I don't see anyone getting the link within the first day, I'll check them to try and fix the rules.
I already own the game so I can't enter but I successfully passed the SGTools check and got the working link to the GA.

Noted. Edited the post.
Been a minute since I've gone over the guidelines, so I should probably review those I guess lol
Glad to hear that you can access the giveaway at least.

Cool initiative, SGtools is too good for those who enjoy using it! My experience has been flawless with it, thus far.
I feel secure hosting gibs knowing that I can slightly control who the recipients will be. I care about that, becz I spend my limited IRL wallet on these Gibs. Without it, winners could easily be someone who has won a thousand games but given away ten and not played a single win! Dont want to take that chance. Although these days, am actually trying to loosen the rules so that more folks can join. Still haven't found my go-to bunch of rules yet. In the 'Dont like bots' thread, some veteran users used to share their SGTools links. I used to study their convoluted rules to get an idea of what it all actually means!!
Custom rules are quite interesting to dabble into. So far ive only tried out the wins count, community, trade ban rules. But I look forward to using "Real Sent CV Region Free", I think that one would eliminate the need to set 'Real Sent CV' or the standard 'Min Ratio'. Since it would target users in the GA circle jerk of regional GAs and what not🙉. Wish there was a primer about these filters. But I guess we can learn by trial and error.
Also like the other users said calling out for blacklisting isnt allowed. I believe u can delete giveaway using 'Leaked Giveaway' option in the Support Ticket and just share the ss of the invalid entry from sgtools. Hasn't happened with me yet, but thats how I would go about it.

Or question the owner in the sgtools thread on sg ;o)

True, thats the last option, if i don't understand a thing even after my own tries😅

Thanks for the giveaways.
Just a heads up. I think that while you are allowed to blacklist whoever you want, of course, you can't be calling out others to blacklist. Could be wrong.
"SG Tools custom rules" that's way too complicated for me. The times I have used it, I just did the usual, no duplicated wins, and all

If found sharing a link to any of the giveaways, you will be blacklisted and called out here so others can blacklist you if they so choose.
Only as help. Don't calling them out. Yes, it is difficult not to do it but if you do it, you will be suspended for it (i had this case by myself.... cheaters get protected with such rules).
This is meant to give back to those that have contributed at least a little bit to the community.
I can't pass the SGTools check and thought i gave "a little bit" to the community :-D

That part has already been edited out 9 hours ago. I think they know by now. ^^

Probably some Real CV ratio rule.

I had a, old, open tab and first now time to write to it, so i don't seen the edited version before i sended my comment (that refreshed the thread).
Probably some Real CV ratio rule
Maybe, it could be a lot.
Some honest people, like i, don't use overpriced games, don't use trash bundles from the DIG store (that give very often still full cv), don't use a fake region to abuse the game prices and not use multiple accounts on freebie sites to steal there to pimp with all of that their "real :-D" cv stats.

True. There is no perfect solution even with SGTools.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sadly, yes.
The perma banned accounts on sgtools can still enter the GAs if they get the sg links from "friends" (or their other accounts).
They recieve no punishment from sg and appear and appear and appear in the end in nearly all "protected" GAs.
I could give cg a list with 30 - 50 of them... (and i would bet that only 10 - 15 guys are behind all of this accounts) but we will never see that something happens against such ones.

Thanks for your contribution to the community, Almeck!
Every now and then I will leave a bump until the end of the year ;)
BUMP!

Just over 2 days left for the current giveaway.
What kind of game should I giveaway next? I've got quite the variety of mystery keys lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm lets see....
Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty, RDR2, Days Gone, Journey, etc, etc
JK😝, anything you have that is a decent play will do :)
also BUMP!
Comment has been collapsed.
I do have a spare key on Humble for that! I could definitely do that.
I perhaps should have clarified I was looking more for genres or general types of games. Like shooter, puzzle, rpg, etc.
Either way, I'm taking all suggestions into account. Looking to make some bigger giveaways closer to the holiday season for sure though.

My definitely to play later list will be: Steelrising, Evil west, Martha is dead, Remnant 2 and maybe Soulstice. This is the game list supported by geforce now, so my old laptop can handle it:)
I am mostly playing though ps now but nowadays not much good games there and the price increased dramatically. So maybe i will stop playing in the future, gaming become too expensive.

I've done a weekly giveaway for 49 weeks, I think I'll stop when I reach 52. It was good as a personal experiment.

I would be interested on your result that you take out of the experiment for yourself.

Early bump.
Last call for American Fugitive and an update for this week's giveaway!

Thanks for the cool GA's thread, SGTools is a great practical tool indeed.
Bump! 👍

Hello Steam Gifts!
In an effort to make more giveaways I have decided that starting now I want to make one giveaway a week at least. My goal is to at least get to the end of the year without missing one. Just want to clear some keys out of my inventory and give back to the community.
This is meant to give back to those that have contributed at least a decent bit to the community. If you don't meet the rules now, make some more giveaways and try again later.
The ONLY rules I will advise of is that I have checked all 3 of the following:
✅ Activated all won games
✅ Not won the same game multiple times
✅ Never VAC Banned
Lastly, when it comes to the SG Tools ruleset, I will never use one that I cannot pass myself. So if you're in a similar spot, you should be able to enter.
There may be puzzles later down the road, but for now it's just going to be weekly giveaways.
Hope to see you in the giveaways!
