Hey,

I won a giveaway and after 7 Days didn't receive the game.
So i added the creator on Steam and ask if i overlooked a mail.
He did go offline, loged into steamgift, enterd giveaway, changed his profile picture and blocked me on steam.
I marked the game as not received.
2 other winners marked games as not received since then.

My question is:
Should / can / must I do anything else about this ?

The FAQ doesn't say what to do if the contact with the creator is not succesfull.

Have a Giveaway of Syder Arcade for your help: mTKyy

Move on and that's it. That user has 3 undelivered games so he won't be able to create more. And if he tries to use another account on this site, he'll get permanently suspended.
Fake giveaways are a thing here, albeit they are rare. Even more rare for such cheap indie games though. Usually they are for AAA games or for games with non-Steam keys.

If i remeber correct at first one can only create 3 giveaway.
Since the games are marked as not recevied he can not make any new ga

I agree for the case of a new user losing the 3 slots we have at the beginning.
But if you already gave hundred of game and have hundred slots?
That's why I'm wondering if there is a rule I don't know yet.

Nah, he just lost all his starting 3 slots. Doing an action that loses you a slot doesn't carry any other additional punishments, and after a while, losing slots is something one can barely notice anyway.

for example:
i have a gift in my inventory. But i don't want give this game to the winner. Why? Maybe he blacklisted me and entered my giveaways, maybe he has 300 won and 0 sent. I just don't want. It's not fake giveaway.
I will get my +1 "Not recieved". But suspended.. why?

I didn't even know one could do that. I though I would have to give the game to whoever won it and could not add any conditions.

What does +1 to "not received" do ?

Well, nobody can force you to do something you don't want, you don't have a gun on your head...

If not received, then the game is not delivered, while by making the giveaway the creator agrees that will send it. It's fake for the winner as they entered, won and got nothing, hence the supsension.

i mean if guys who won GA didnt get gift from him can report him and he will probably get some type of suspend :)

User report won't do anything since the queue is 28.5k+ tickets. They could even disable this option tbh.

Besides marking it as "not received", there is little else you can do :(

I also won Grid Autosport and I received key of GRID, which I already have. I added the person who made that giveaway but he didn't response, so I marked that giveaway "Not Received"

Well...leeching has it's downside. Having access only to low level GAs would sometimes have bad results. Try giving back to the community and then you will have access to the higher level GAs.
