tl;dr: To request a key, you need to have the game on your wishlist prior to the creation of this thread (earlier than 11/11/15), or as specified by the contributor. Please specify the date you added the game to your wishlist when requesting.

It's somewhat of a letdown when you can't create a giveaway because the game was given for free at some point in time, but it doesn't mean the key is worthless. Some users may actually have the game on their wishlist and will appreciate getting it. The idea of this thread is to make good use of your ungiftable keys, by sending them to users who really want these games.

Note: If as a contributor you don't mind who gets the keys, there's another thread for key drops. If you do mind, this thread will help you find the right users. See guidelines for contributors toward the end of this post.

Requirements for requesting a key

All giveaways have the Basic requirements, unless stated otherwise. Some (typically the more worthy games) have the Higher requirements. Please make sure to read before requesting a key, and when you do, request it from the contributor directly and not as a comment to this post. The (request key) links below will help you find the relevant post.

Basic requirements

  • Have the ungiftable game on your wishlist, and added earlier than 11/11/15 (or as specified by the contributor). Please specify date added to wishlist when requesting a key.
  • Registered more than a month ago
  • Untainted trade ratio. If you never trade it's fine too :-)
  • Activated all games won; has no multiple wins of the same game. In other words, passes the Steamgifts tools tests.

Higher requirements

  • All Basic requirements
  • Level 2
  • Created giveaways in the last month, at least some of which are public and were created prior to this thread
  • Sent more games than won (or has Real CV Sent higher than Real CV Won)

Needless to say, once you get the key the only expectation is that you activate it on your account and say thanks :-)

Guidelines for contributors

Other members are invited to contribute their own ungiftable games. For easy navigation I'll add these giveaways to this post and will mark off (strikethrough) once you let me know that the key was sent (it would help if you also mark them off in your post). I hope I can keep it up without it becoming too much of a burden ;-)

  • Please make sure to only list the game name, not the actual key. Including a link to the Steam store page is nice, as it makes it easier for people to check if they have the game on their wishlist.
  • Feel free to specify a wishlist cutoff date other than 11/11/15 (the date of creation of this thread). A reasonable date to specify can be a day early than the date of your post, as users won't be able to add the game to their wishlist retroactively.
  • If you want to add other restrictions, or to lax some of the ones I suggested, go for it. It’s your key after all. Just keep in mind that since you'll be the one delivering the key, you're also the one to enforce any requirements/restrictions.
  • If the requester obviously didn't read the requirements, don't feel obligated to reply. It's a lot more fun to give to those who did bother to do their part :-)

Thank you all and good luck!

Free bump and a story. I won a copy of assassin's creed 3 on steamgifts. Was extremely happy! I was really happy with the uplay key I activated. Unfortunately this is steamgifts and so I was punished for not activating. No biggie right?!? I was punished for getting a uplay key. I did my time and now its done. No it will never be done because a big part of the community and especially the active community feels i'm an unworthy steamgift member and locks their giveaways behind requirements I can't meet. What can I do? Any help?

You should contact the GA creator and explain that this site is for giveaways of Steam keys, and that he/she should deliver a Steam key for the game you won or you'll be forced to mark it as Not Received. If he/she doesn't respond after a week, or doesn't agree to give you a Steam key for the game you won (both are likely), go ahead and mark the game as such.

Showing due diligence is key here.

Thank you for the great advice Yirg.
I contacted the GA creator. It has been a year since that giveaway and they don't seem to be active here on steamgifts so I sent a message to them via the GA they created and added them as a friend on steam. In a week if I haven't heard back from them I will mark as not received.

I am not certain as to what I need to do to show due diligence. Since communication is limited to messaging on a platform the user doesn't seem to have visited in a long time OR them adding me on steam both of which as thing they have to accept to send the message is there anything else I should do to ensure I have done my due diligence?

You need to be able to show due diligence for 2 reasons - to avoid being banned here for fake giveaway feedback, and to avoid being banned on SGTools for tampering with your feedback (I believe the site monitors changes to feedback). If you show that you did everything in your power to contact the GA creator and correct things I think it would be sufficient to avoid such bans, but perhaps you should create a separate thread to get advise from additional people. For sure it wouldn't hurt to add a comment here and ask knsys (author of SGTools) about this, before changing the feedback.

Replying on the giveaway and taking screenshots of your chat with the GA creator on Steam (or at the very least - your attempt to invite them) should show be sufficient, in my opinion, to show that you did what's in your power to contact them.

Good luck!

If you're interested in the game it wouldn't hurt to wishlist it. Also, maybe if there are no takers in a month or two, the relevant contributor will be willing to give it to you.

11/11/15 ? But I'm so young...ohh well, no additional games for me I guess.

That's the default, but some contributors chose a different cutoff date.

Also, if you have the game on your wishlist for a while (i.e. more than a month), you might be able to make a convincing case for people to stray from the default. Just saying...

Hello, i would like to get Vanguard Princess if still available, but i had a problem, i went to check the game since when was in my WL and since i didn't knew how to see the date was added i though that mouse over the ADD WISHLIST button would tell me and by mistake press it and was no longer on my WL u.u, already add it again but u know now is not even by chance close to before 3/11/16 and i could swear was on my WL since it came out, but i can't prove it T_T
My mistake, so if u decide to believe i'll be more then grateful and if not i'll get back in the future again if the copy still around maybe.
Anyway thanks in advance ;)
