Depends on winner. If he;s decent human being you can ask for a reroll or deletion of GA with his permission . If he's an ass you will have to provide him that gift.

Reroll isn't an option. With an unrestricted giveaway you'll just keep having the same problem.

You can ask the winner if hes okay with deleting the giveaway since you didnt know its region restricted .
If hes cool with that contact support , if not you may get suspended for few days ( not permanent tho I think its 3 days) since he will mark it as not received and thats breaking site rules sadly :|

Ban? You? No. You will just lose a slot. Maybe he meant he will get banned if he marks it as received without activating? If he agrees, ask for giveaway to be deleted, if he doesn't, you will have to either get an unrestricted gift or keep the not received mark. I wouldn't recommend rerolling, since it's unlikely the next winner will be from your region either.

Jeah just try to explain to him, that you messed up marking it region-locked. Since you don't have a non-region locked copy that you can give him, you can asked him if he agrees to just delete the giveaway. If he doesn't agree then the only downside is that just have a "not received"-giveaway and one giveaway-slot less.
If he's friendly and understanding towards your mistake, you might consider giving him something as "excuse" for it. (This isn't however a substitution, for the right key. The winner would still have to mark it as "not received".)
I messed up my first giveaway, too - didn't get banned :)

I'm sure you can trade a ROW gift for a few trading cards if you still want/need to send the gift to the winner: https://www.steamgifts.com/trades/search?have=cards&want=Shadow%20Ward

i did a GA https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/tlCkf/the-hat-man-shadow-ward
BUT the winner is from Poland and i did not realize the restriction area of the gift in my inventory (im from South America)
"This is a restricted gift which can only be redeemed in these countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Bahamas, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, Brazil, Mexico"
now he cant accept it, he told me "You will probably ban on SG" thats true? i know it was my fault but Q_Q i dont really knew that :c i just figured out that i can bought games from HumbleBundle and do GA with keys and not with Steam gift in fac im doing now 2 GA more but now i got the keys from HumbleBundle
