Unless SteamGifts derps. I didn't get one when winning the just finished dev giveaway for some reason.

Aren't dev giveaways are automatically marked as "received"? The green bar only appears for non-received giveaways, so maybe that's the reason?
EDIT: Maybe not, as most of the gifts still show as "awaiting feedback".

Seems everyone else I've asked got it. Just me. I got grumpy for a while.

If they were automatically marked as received there wouldn't be any 'anonymous' entries, I'd think? From what I've seen there have been dev giveaways where some copies were never claimed. Or at least marked, I don't know what volume of those are traders and regifters.

Yup. I edited my post earlier when I realised this.

Gifters and retraders? Hopefully not.

You cant mark it as not received. The option is grayed out and its automagically marked as received.

I thought that after 7 days, these could be marked "non-received" just like any other giveaway?
Sounds like I'm wrong about that though?
If you're correct, since the keys are marked "received" as soon as they are viewed, the "Anonymous" entries are neither gifters, nor retraders, but just people who never logged back into Steamgifts after the giveaway ended, or were utterly stumped and bamboozled by the significance of that perplexing green bar across the top of their screens...

Ah - ok. I've never won a dev giveaway before (until today)!
Looks like in 7 days, dishonest people may have the opportunity to mark the giveaway "not received" and trade the game away with impunity :(
As an aside, it's astounding that 1,929 of the Faerie Solitaire games won in the developer giveaway are still unclaimed, ten months after it closed.
Unless the way the site works has changed since then, it means a massive 13% of the winners - over one in ten - never bothered to log back in to SG and/or check their wins. Staggering...

Congrats on the win!
I just realized my senile moment. The not received button gets ungrayed after 7 days.
That's a lot of people who didn't claim their win.

When you go to your Giveaways won page, it will have the activation key listed right next to the name of the game, so even if you never use the key you've still received it.

if you won, you will notice it
P.S: my first win was at about 660 entries

I come to your house and cook you dinner, hand you an envelope that tells you the coordinates of the steam key and you being full and ready voyage out into the night looking for it, plan to be out for at least 2 days, bring a weapon, its dangerous.

On very rare occasion you might not see a green bar. I've had it happen on two of my wins. You can check 'Your List of Wins' also.

In case you want to know what the green bar actually looks like: here you go.
You don't need to worry about missing it ;)

As said, you won't miss it. (Though random thought, I wish they'd change the "Your giveaway has ended give the gift" bar to something different, like blue. I get excited every time I see it for a fraction of a second before I remember).
But you probably won't win a giveaway just 100 entries in. It takes a while usually.

Wish the bars would display one on top of the other, instead of it being an either/or scenario.

I'm new, and as far as I know, 116 entries in I have had no good luck. So I was just wondering, when I check the "View Won" section under the Giveaways" dropdown, is that the correct way to see if you have won a giveaway or is there a more correct way to do it?
