Current Whitelist count: 284 :)

Important update June 2024

Hello there.
My views on this changed, so I will post an update. All these criteria have just one goal: To find active members of SG who don't cheat, don't leech, don't game the system, do play fair and are contributing to this site with giving away more then they win.

  • I am only considering "Real CV", not the "normal" CV SG shows. You can find your own numbers via SGTools.
  • I am looking to add members whose Real CV ratio is over 1:1. The higher your real CV sent is in contrast to your real CV won, the more likely it is for me to add you. That means: Someone with a 2:1 sent:won ratio is more likely to be added than someone with a 1.1:1 ratio.
  • If you have multiple or non-activated wins, you're out. Except when I can clearly see that those are really old and you learned from your mistakes.
  • I am not considering leechers.
  • I am not considering members with a ratio lower than 1:1 in real CV.
  • I am not considering you if you only give in small groups with the intention of CV farming (kinda hard for me to find out, but I am trying).
  • I am not considering you if I can clearly see that you exploited the system with the intention of CV farming (giving away many copies of $1 bundles that result in a high CV value, giving away many copies of price glitches that can only be bought in a certain country but give full CV, giving away overpriced games and so on). If you do "normal" giveaways and give 1 or 2 copies of those bundles away, it's all good in my book. As long as the other giveaways are the majority by far.
  • If you're in a circle jerk group and have to do GAs for that tiny group once a month, I will let it slide if you also do a lot of public or event GAs in that month. If most of your GAs are for circle jerk groups, you will not be considered and active members will get kicked from the WL.
  • Members have to be active. If you didn't do a giveaway in the last 12 months, you're out. The only exception to this is, if you also did not enter any giveaways in that timeframe. The more recent your giveaways are, the better.
  • If you're only doing 1 or 2 giveaways per month, you will most likely not be considered.
  • If you're complaining and complaining and making drama why I added X but not added you, then you are not who I am looking for.
  • If you're VAC banned, you're making it hard for me to add you. I will look at it on a case by case basis.
  • If you're blacklisted, you're blacklisted for a reason. No, I will not remove you. You don't have to ask in this thread. You don't have to create drama.
  • You should have done some public giveaways since your registration date. I know that this may sound ridiculous coming from me at a time where I stopped doing public giveaways. But until I changed the way I am giving away my games, I only did public giveaways. I am looking for something similar within you. So if I only see private giveaways due to trains or puzzles and such, please provide a link to the corresponding thread in the forum. Otherwise I have no way to check if those privates weren't "circle jerks".
  • If you're only giving away region restricted games and are winning mostly ROW games, you probably will not be considered.
  • Oh, one more thing: You don't have to add me to your WL in return. If you want to, that's completely up to you. But you don't have to. I am not looking for a 1:1 whitelist exchange of some sorts.

Aaaaaaand that's it! Kinda easy to get on my Whitelist, isn't it? ;)

I like blue hearts if your handing them out.

for my private only giveaways, most of them are trains/other puzzles: just look at posts I make in puzzles section. Some are random drops in threads.
Group GA's are alot of Playing Appreciated or mixed group(for the recent ones at least). I know there are some public ones to.

You're averaging 14 giveaways a year, that's now who I am looking for, sorry.

Edit: I know that you're ramping your output up significantly the past months, but still, the numbers at the moment are not what I'm looking for. I hope you understand that.

average gets better once you remove March 2015-Part of May 2023 where I wasn't visiting the site at all. That 2015 section was pretty short, looks like May 2014 is where I really started to stop.
I took a break from SG and all steam related news, I'm not worried if you pass me up though.

so average was 50/yr back then(when I had minimal disposable income) and already near 60(including pending feedback/still running) this year with many more to come.
I like flat bars on graphs:

I appreciate your input. And I know you from the forums but I still will say No at this time. This is also due to the fact that I can't be sure if another long break will happen in the future. Sorry, mate, but it won't happen at this time.

Yeah, I don't really know if you are actually still adding people, but if somehow I can also be on it, it would be great. I mainly add giveaways of bundled games that I have, or i don't care that much

Oh, I am still adding. Always. I'm a silent assass... adder ;)

Regarding you, it's the same as Carenard: Your recent output is very good, but there are always long times of inactivity and in the years you're here, you're averaging 15 giveaways a year. So it could mean that you'll be gone again in the future and the pure numbers are not what I am looking for. Sorry, mate.

Yeah, some do delete their comment after I refuse to add them to my WL. Who the hell knows, why. Maybe they think I won't remember the name if they try again in a couple of months. Maybe they think they tarnish any kind of record if a WL refusal is found in the forums. Honestly, I have no idea.

You've been away for nearly eight years and are only back for roughly one month. If you stay here and continue your giving behaviour, consider bumping this posting in at least six months and I will gladly have another look.

P.S.: You can be a cool gamer regardless of my WL ;)

It is a No from me. Your real CV ratio is at 0.51, so far away from the minimum requirement of 1:1, I'm afraid

Alles gut. Magst es begründen? Für die vielen region locked giveaways gibt es zum Beispiel eine Erklärung.

Kann ich gerne machen. Es ist die Konsistenz und Anzahl der Giveaways. Im ersten Posting habe ich geschrieben, dass ich Personen, die monatlich nur 1-2 GAs veranstalten, (wahrscheinlich) nicht berücksichtigen werde. Deine Übersicht zeigt mir, dass du nicht regelmäßig pro Monat mehrere GAs veranstaltest. Daher kann ich dich nicht hinzufügen, auch weill es unfair gegenüber allen anderen wäre, die ich vorher aus dem gleichen Grund abgelehnt habe.

Ok, also wenn ich meine ~5 / Monat gleichmäßig auf die knapp 22 Monate verteilt hätte, sähe es anders aus?

Wie ich geschrieben habe: Es geht mir um Konsistenz. Wenn Bursts kommen, kann ich nie sicher sein, ob danach jemals wieder GAs kommen. Ich hatte Bewerber, die haben im Weihnachtstrain 50-100 GAs erstellt und waren danach drei Jahre offline.

Hey AmanoTC, you didn't give me a chance to prove to you that I'm not farming/exploiting CV through groups.

You can check through SGTools. I've spent ~3963.15$ on public giveaways. The private giveaway CV you see is all from the last community train. Here's a link to my first cart so you can check yourself.
And here's a rolling screenshot of all of my created giveaways from my own link. "www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/created"

I'm sure that if you check this data, you can see that I'm whitelist worthy.

Edit:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, to make it easier for you to see which giveaways of mine are for groups, I framed every single "group" type with a red rectangle. And for all groups that aren't Unlucky-7 (which many consider as a public group.) I've also underlined their names on the left column.

While this is not a small group, you're doing way too much group only GAs för my personal taste, so I won't consider you at this time. Sorry for that.

Hello there. Hm, not an easy decision.
Some of your group GAs have less than 5 entries. Would you be willing to tell me what those groups are and why there are so few entries?
Will you continue to host mostly private and group GAs in the future?

Hi!
I have no idea what happened regarding a suspension, since I didn't frequent the forums for a while. I would have said "No" after your answer because I like to have the people on my WL also do a lot of public GAs.
Nevertheless, I'm sorry that you feel burned out from SG at the moment :-/

Just to make something very clear, because it happens often these days:
There is no whitelist for whitelist for me and you do not have to add me to your whitelist after I added you to mine. But if you actively exclude me from entering any of your giveaways - for example, by only doing giveaways for a very, very small group - but still enter (everyone of) my giveaways (and even win some), then I will remove you from my whitelist.
