I want to make a giveaway for a game. But I only want to invite 2 friends of mine. Is it possible? Both of them want the game, I don't want to chose among them, also I want to win point for that giveaway. Does anyone know what is the minimum limit for the Invite Only type Giveaway?

5 Entries if you want to gain CV for them

You only earn CV when you have 5+ entries. If you want to give it to one of them two, you will have to ignore CV. Otherwise, invite 3 more friends.

You just need 3 more friends to fight for your game and everything will be set!

also I want to win point for that giveaway.
Exploiting the system by using multi-accounts or giving away only to friends can potentially be a quick way to get suspended, though in this case your main hurdle is only having 2 friends of the necessary 5 for CV contribution to count.

You can either add 3 randoms, make additional friends, or acknowledge that you shouldn't gain any 'contribution to the site' value for using the site to make your RL decisions for you :P

so what's the point of Invite Only Giveaways?

As far as I know, there are no rules directly prohibiting giving giveaways solely to a small set of friends, though many users frown on it. However, if you keep just in-trading with your friends, that's clearly you all exploiting the system to raise your level while not actually giving anything back to the site, and I believe that's something the staff keeps a keen eye out for.

In any case, 'the point' of invite only giveaways.. well, just browse the forums a bit, you'll get it. :P

The point of SG was never to get CV by giving to friends. It is about making new friends and sharing the joy of gaming with them.

But technically you can have 5 friends and share with them to earn CV.

There are many other sites you can use to randomly generate a winner for one of your friends.
But as far as scoring CV from it in the process is frowned upon, since it's not really a community GA (even limited) in the end.
