I've tried searching for this, but got nothing. My question is: Do private giveaways still give the creator contribution credit? If it does, there is a big problem. One person could make a private giveaway for his few friends, and then whoever wins it gives it away again to the same friends. They could just do this over and over again to just rack up fake contribution credit.

On the other hand, maybe you don't even get credit from private giveaways!

Does anybody know the answer?

that's why you ALWAYS check the profile of whoever wins a giveaway you create. If they have 10 private giveaways of skyrim that each have 3 entries, ask support to investigate and wait for them to clear it first

And none of them would have the game activated on the account and would be suspended for feedback fraud.

Since you're asking a bunch of followup questions to everyone maybe you should read the FAQ
