If you won a key here which you already have, and want to give it away again, DON'T. Give it back to the original giveawayer please.

1) You're not supposed to enter in a giveaway for a game you already own, it's stated in the FAQs.
2) You cannot regift a key won here. Once again, read the FAQs.
3) The key isn't used, but if you make a giveaway with that you're likely to be suspended. Once more with feeling, the FAQs.
4) Seriously, did you read the FAQs?

You shouldnt enter in giveaways for a game you already own, did you read the site rules?
Give the key back to the guy who made the giveaway and tell him to make a re-roll

My friend did the same with alien breed 2, he thought he would get an extra copy activating a game he already had, steam just said he already had this game, so he gave to a friend but now it says its duplicated...
he pretty much lost the game, I think the same thing happened to yours, steam should fix this...

No it says its duplicated but the key will work on another steam account. I just had this happen with my Bioshock2 giveaway cause I had multiple keys and wasn't sure which were used. Regardless as everyone said, let it get rerolled.

Doesn't make sense... why would it say it is duplicated for someone and works in another one?

First of all I respect all rules here.But the thing that during the day I enter about 20 and more giveaways and the most giveaways are almost same from some kind weekend/events deals. So naturally I better enter few times to same game giveaways wich i wanted then i dont want. But curiosity is that I win game wich i don't have before and a same day i win same game.Never thought that's possible.
And like my OP says I want make giveaway at SG but don't know is key still working.

Don't just enter games you're not interested, either. If you won a game twice, you should tell the giver to reroll, and NOT use or offer the game as a trade or giveaway.

Contact the giveaway submitter and tell him you want to reject the gift. He can request a new winner.

Don't enter for games you already own anymore. You are allowed to enter only for games you want activated in your game library.

Regifting is not allowed. If you own the game already, return the gift to the giveaway host, he'll reroll for a new winner.

If you checked the Key in Steam, EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE IT ALREADY AND CLICK CANCEL the key is tagged as "used" in the Steam Database and lost. Steam really should fix that ludicrous "bug".

No, it's not. See my post above regarding Bioshock2 last night. Where do you kids get your information, do you try it? I tried it, and successfully gave away the key.

When you enter a key for a game that you already have, Steam asks you if you are sure that you want to activate the key (or atleast it happened to me with a Black ops key)

Well, at least all my double (and tripple) retail codes wound all up "used", even as I accepted all of them only once and was about to gift the double codes to a friend. Maybe it is on a game-to-game or retail only basis, wich would suck >.<

Reported. Enjoy the suspension for your "mistakes" despite everyone here telling you to not do it.
