it's not how long you should wait - it in the rules how long you HAVE to wait and that is 7 days and you also have to try to contact them also in that time

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".
Doesn't say we are obligated to wait a week looks like more of a suggestion

If the winner has redeemed the key, comment in one of their old giveaways and remind them to mark the win as received.

if they have already redeemed the key how would you pick another winner when the prize is already gone/used?

Because Steamgifts can magically remove a game from user's libraries and revive the key back to its old activation power.

"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 contacted the winner of your giveaway on email and Steam over one week ago and they have not yet responded 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."

Is not particularly urgent but is there away to get data info on the date sent the email to show up somewhere?
becuase the only thing I see with gmail is the time passed since it was sent.
I want to sent the most clear data possible if that needs to be used.

sometimes you will run into bots that are on steam gifts the full week, never use the key, and you cant contact them/they wont add you on steam.

Usually it takes less than a day, but sometimes it takes longer (not all people are online as much as I am), sometimes a lot longer.
But, as wiggle said earlier, the FAQ states "1 week after you contact the winner", details here.
Cheers!

I am a little confused.
You create threads asking questions -> that's a good thing.
You get answers, it seems you do not read them -> that's a less good thing...
You were advised to read the guidelines (9 months ago) and FAQ (1 month ago). One could assume, that you have read both at latest 1 month ago, although another valid assumption would be you read both 7 years ago, when you registered on Steamgifts. Even some things changed since then, "wait 1 week" was unchanged.
Maybe it would be a good course of action for you to read FAQ & guidelines now and make notes.

Either yes, if you been active since then, or I would have assume you re-read them, if you have taken a longer break.

You set the tone yourself, in the giveaway in question as well as your comments.

Hopefully that you read first and ask pointed questions later, not ask right away and let others do the work for you.

just be patient, the winner has 7 days to activate the game
