Question about big gift pile contest

I don't think it's allowed, But I have done it.

It's not restricted so it should be allowed, but people with dozens of HIB (or exploitable stuff) alts, who just make easy achievements and trade stuff on their main acc should get punished, imo.

Not sure.
It might be allowed but frowned upon.

Greedy bastards ;)

Don't think its allowed. Although its hard to check for VALVE, so I think if you act smart you wont get any problems.

Hm.. well I can use a different pc or virtual machine. But like I said I got 1 alt and I will do it only with that. Not gonne make more. Too lazy for that and not intrested

why wouldn't this be allowed? once you get a paid game (even tho its from the indie bundles), you can have as many accounts as possible. but if you want to trade your games or coupons, your account needs to be at least 30 days old and without any problems (bans etc.)

WAsnt it 90 days before you could trade? but anyways. I got all these things on my alt. But I got an idea. My brother has steam for some time and a game or 2. But he doesn't do anything with it. So I an get some of his stuff he gets. That's allowed right? I mean it's his account and he wants to give it to me.

I did it any way :P

Everything that is not prohibited, it is allowed.
Nowhere it's written that you can have only 1 account. Probably I must still have an account created years ago for Counterstrike, but who can remember it (and certainly I no longer use the email used for creating it). How many are there in the same situation?
You can trade gift only after a number of days, so i don't see a gret problem there.
Valve should have made coal untradable, but they choose to publicize their trading system and make it tradable (and I'm sure they were well aware of what could have been happened)

Meh. Ill just do it. Not that they care if a person with 1 extra account does it. But people that do it with like 5 or more... risky

Actually it's allowed mods in steam forums said you can have as many acounts you want!

i made some acounts myself won games worth 100$ :)

you can send the games as a gift but they are not tradable for 30 days.... coals and coupons can be traded right after you win them

It's highly frowned upon by me, no point in exploiting something that's free. That's just being rude.

I wouldn't do it. Even though there's no clear cut statement saying you can't do this, it is said that there can only be one steam account per entrant (which kind of implies it). If you do it, the chances of you being caught are small, but if you do get caught, you can kiss your account goodbye.

Knowing my luck, I would just end up getting more coal and useless coupons. Not worth the risk of having my account banned.

Acceptable when all you get is coupons for games you've never heard of..(maybe you could sell it to hipsters)...Lol.
