In my opinion you should make something like this:

  • Giveaway ends
  • The script scan ALL the winners
  • If someone has won 0 giveaways it pick up a random winner from them, if not it goes ahead
  • If someone has won 1 giveaway it...
    and so on, what do you think? This would limiti winnings of someone, who in 300 Entries won 5 gifts...

nope.

with your system one would just buy enormous number of bundles and create multiple accounts, as he would be encouraged to. And after some1 won anything he would just leave the site, as he would have no chance to win anything else, what mean's he would'n contribute ever again.

I would prefer it be based on contribution amounts, just to spite you.

Instead add more option for the creator to choose, like amount of giveaway won (min/max), amount of comments, amount of entered giveaways... this would be more interesting really. :P

Problem is always the exploitation options that arise when the random system is changed to exclude specific people in the public sections.

Yeah, this would be a great idea! So who wants, can create giveaways for those who have never won or other...

Then everyone would be creating second accounts to get that first win, horrible idea.

You only have 300 entries, suck it up. My ratio is one win every 640 entries so you have a ways to go if you're already complaining!

Buy Humble THQ Bundle for $1 and voila!

Sorry man, it's a horrendous idea and it's blatantly obvious you're just mad you haven't won yet.

Actually bundles & exploits are not counted towards your registration value.

This is an even worse suggestion than multiple entries, and that's really saying something.

So after you've won something you could never win again? Sounds fair...

once everyone has won a gift the system goes to check for people with only 1 gift instead of 2

Answer me this question. Would you consider your idea to be a good once still once you won a giveaway and would never win one again because of it?

Yes, because once everyone has won a gift the system goes to check for people with only 1 gift instead of 2

It would be like the Chinese population. The number of users that haven't won anything would never end.

And besides it's not fair*.

The term 'fair' is used by its proper meaning. All other meanings are ignored.

That's stupid. Please check the front page (229,313 Members, 221,836 Received Gifts)

That means no one would ever win more than one gift.

OK, I will add a rule in my future giveaways: "you can enter only if you have won at least 10 times".

As a person with 2k entries and 1 private giveaway won i say no. This system is working fine and is the most fair it can be. Only thing that somehow could matter is a contributor value, but there are contributor giveaways for that.

Then what would be the point of entering a giveaway if you have already won one? It has taken me about 500-600 entries per one game. That's more than you have ever entered to. A few games I've won through private giveaways, and some are from low entry giveaways. That's where the game is at.

Stop dreaming, boy, and eat your pizza.

Seriously, i don't get why people get mad or upset because they haven't won anything. Did it cost you anything to join the giveaway? No, exactly. Everyone has an equal chance to win? Yes. God.

There will always be people entering EVERY giveaway with 0 wins. This would make this ENTIRE website pointless once you won a single item.

This idea is horrible and unfair. Right now, winners are random and everyone has a chance. There's nothing to improve.
