Hi, I am pretty new here so I made this thread to avoid doing any mistakes. I did this giveaway a week ago https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/tUJCZ/running-with-rifles and the winner hasn't redeemed the key that I entered when creating the giveaway. I don't see the green eye thing next to the key so this means he hasn't seen the key? The winner appears always online and the number of "giveaways entered" goes up steadily and he has logged in to Steam many times in the last week. Do I have to contact him now or I just request a new winner and how is this done / what do I give as reason?

Can't supporter/mods see that a user sent the key in a giveaway to the winner?

Copy/Paste from FAQ:

What should I do if the winner of my giveaway has not redeemed their gift, and I'm unable to get into contact with them?

If you've been unable to reach the winner of your giveaway using email and Steam after one week of your giveaway ending, and they have not yet activated or redeemed any keys or gifts you attempted to send, please contact support to request a new winner. When creating a ticket, we ask you to include data that suggests you made an adequate attempt to contact the winner, such as screenshots of emails, friend requests, or gifts pending on Steam. If the request is approved, a new winner will be generated by the site.

The winner has redeemed my gift, but not marked it "Received". How do I proceed?

If your gift has been activated or redeemed by the winner, and they have not left feedback after one week, please create a support ticket to request received feedback. A support member will review your ticket, and if the gift is activated on the winner's Steam account, they will update the feedback to "Received".

Try to contact him through Steam or e-mail. If he hasn't responded even after that, screenshot your proof of contact (friend request that hasn't been accepted/email message) and request a new winner providing that as proof. This happened to me once too and that's what I did.

Ok, thanks everyone. I added him on Steam, sent an email and took screenshots. If he doesn't respond in any way, I will request new winner tomorrow.
