no rules about free games? you know the group will get infested with the usual suspects this way

I've requested to join :) Thank you!
I really like the rules of the group, especially the 2 copies per game, too many times I can't gift a game anymore because someone gave 10 copies of it 😖 While I've won some of those huge copy giveaways before and was really happy for the high chance to win the game, it's sad that the game is pretty much done for the group now :s Plus it can kind of be used as a point-farm
-$250 might be a bit too much, especially for no monthly giveaway, though I like that part as too many of those start getting hard to plan and manage!

Hmm yeah that could be an included bit of info :) It would be nice if it was maybe 2 copies of the game in all giveaways but maybe after a certain timeframe of like 6 months you can give the game again?

"I'm still thinking about a few rules. I'm thinking of excluding games that are worth $50 on Steam and only have 10 fake reviews. Because these are often abused to push the value difference, which would be unfair to other members. Rule 9 is not quite finalized yet and is still a hurdle. I'm concerned that bundled games that are available on the black market for say $0.40 or something like that are not exploited to increase the value difference with multiple copies."

no overpriced garbage games is how I would write it, everyone should hopefully understand what you mean there.
as for no multiple copies its up to you, I for one prefer to just make GAs for every key I have for a game when I make a GA so getting limited down to 2 copies might occasionally make me(and likely others) not do a giveaway for the group and instead send them elsewhere.
also being forced to group exclusive for every GA is a negative to me(first one is completely fine), I like to share with play required groups(like playing appreciated) as well(both since it will go to someone who will play it for sure... and to help ensure 5+ entries), the more groups the less gift value you get for a group to so it usually evens itself out. I completely get disallowing the larger public/ closed but basically no requirement groups though. But I don't have to join the group so its not really an issue :)

I don't have much to add to what others have said already except for a couple of suggestions.
QGG has this rule that I really like: Giveaways with a whitelist must have at least 2 groups
Might be something to consider. It limits abuse a little bit by preventing users from sharing games that nobody in the group wants with their large WL and getting full value for them.
If it was up to me, I would also ban "Feudalife" games, even the ones that are not 0cv. I consider all of them freebies. Some users seem to have an almost infinite supply of these games and will flood the group with them to bolster their stats. Since you allow shared GAs, they can do this indefinitely.
If you think it's too harsh to ban such games, maybe try to limit their quantity? For e.g. Limit of 5 Feudalife games per month.
Congrats and best of luck!

I have just realized from today how much work such a group entails and have underestimated this. I have decided to close the group. I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. I prefer to leave this to the professionals who already have experience with it.
You can delete the GAs that have received an entry. Sorry again for that.
