What amount of entries makes giveaway not worth entering for you?

When there is 1000 copies and 1000 entries, i will join :D

I never skip a giveaway based on the amount of entries, there's always a winner therefore there's always a chance, no matter how little.

Entries don't matter. Somebody will win, no matter the amount of entries, so what if it is me? I have to try then. :3

Wishlisted - Dont care
Multiple copies - Mostly dont care
Group - Usually under 50
Public and private - under 200

it depends, for good wishlisted I don't care until it reaches a 1:10'000 chance copy:entries ratio.

else I'm using some loose guessing about the quality of game/cost in points/copy/entries ratio

It varies a lot for me, dependant upon the game and my level of optimism....

I'm a natural optimist, but even I baulk at entering a GA with 2 days left and 20,000 entries for ONE KEY.

I don't care about entries. But I won't join 0.10% win chance unless I have points to spare before going to sleep.

I don't care - just enter things from my wishlist :)

I enter far too few so points are not an issue. Thus even if a giveaway has 5k entries I'll still enter cause why not? :P

1000.

Sidenote i entered loads of 5000 coin giveaways on tremorgames, always 500 entries, since i started there, i must have entered over a 500 (probaby alot more) never won once. Would almost say it was rigged but i know someone who did win it.

For me it depends on how much I want the game. If it's on my wishlist or very interesting to me, then points don't matter to me, but otherwise I tend to not enter giveaways with more than 250 entries per copy.

Doesn't matter to me. I just try to join giveaways based on time (as in, the 'new' page) - which means that, with the new point system, I am perpetually stuck on page six or so, for I don't have point lefts for any giveaways made on pages one to five, even though I only come here twice per day or so. Yes, this is foolish from an 'I want to maximise my winning chances' perspective, but I don't really care about that. Time is my only criterium, not winning chance / entries.

I've noticed almost all my wins were >1000 entries. So I think that's the magic #.

Doesn't matter since I join such few GA's that my points nearly never run out.

i dont look at it at all its rare that i spend 100points so its more waste not to enter ^^

Over 100 entries and I feel like I'm wasting points. I enter every giveaway from my wishlist (unless they ask not to if I won t play it soon) but anything above 100 seems like a dream to win. Its very rare i win because im the most unlickiest person ever.

This varies so much dependant on if wishlisted or not, level restrictions, multiple copies, point restrictions, group or whitelisted giveaways. I don't have a set rule maybe except anything over 2000 for triple A games I really want.

I'm more worried about the opposite actually, entering too many giveaways with low amounts of entries ;) Don't want that backlog of unplayed wins to grow

When I want to win, number of entries doesn't matter.
When I don't want to win but want the exhilaration of participating, number of entries should be at least 3000.

In both cases I only enter giveaways of games I'd actually like to play.
