People are dumb sometimes. Or just confused about the rules.

You can create a support ticket and request a couple of slots.

I believe the general answer is 'yes, a deleted giveaway will result in a giveaway slot being returned to the user.'

Source: I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

But I would say double check with Support to be sure.

EDIT: don't listen to me! (except the part about contacting Support)

deleted GA's eat up slots
support can give more slots with a ticket though.... although it looks like their slots are potentially eaten up by lvl 10 required whitelist only giveaways with no winners(I forget if no winner GA's eat slots or not)

A new account start with 3 GA slots.
If you delete 1 GA, you lose 1 GA slot.
You get 1 GA slot for every 3 GAs that are marked as recieved from your winners.

That hidden statement reminded me as something Icaio could have said (or the kind of humour) and made me smile.

You've got a pretty peculiar way of making GAs. I'm curious: do you even have level 10 users on your whitelist?

I would have thought restricting to just L10 would have been enough, but obviously not!

no
by making a new giveaway you use up 1 slot. this slot is only returned after the giveaway has ended AND marked as received. pending or not-received GAs keep using up the slot.
Deleting on-going or unsuccessful giveaways wont return the slots.
After 3 successful giveaways that you gain an additional slot.

if you use up all your slots by mistake or generally need more slots to make giveaways support can grant you more slots. (make a ticket for that)

Exactly.
Emphasis on "deleting ongoing giveaways", that will indeed waste the slot too, something some people may find counter-intuitive. Same for giveaways that haven't even started (if created and set to start in the future). So, double-check before you create, and double-think before you delete 👀 Extra slots can indeed be granted, but that will typically be a one-time thing, for users who ended up stuck at 0 slot.

Also obviously, for multi-copy giveaways, multiply by the number of copies.

Edit: one particular case there, if your giveaway ends with no winner, you get the associated slot(s) back too. But you lose them if you delete it.

Nope. Need to make and finish more giveaways to get new slots.
