how do indiegala gift links work

kool thanx for the info :)

I've wondered about this myself, but I'm unclear whether giving the keys directly would violate the Indiegala ToS.

Basically, when you click the gift button it creates a permanent gift URL that you can send to a giveaway winner. This is similar to the way that Humble Bundle gift links work, though for now it has to be done by email afterward and can't be put in when you create the giveaway, as HB gift links can. Hopefully SG is working on adding this functionality...?

I assume the gift link just reveals the very same key you would have seen had you chosen to redeem it, so I'm not sure whether it matters, but it might be safer to use the gift link system, since the keys will be redeemed to different accounts. But if Indiegala can't tell who redeemed them, I'm not sure they could know.
