Every three giveaways completed will give you an extra slot.

I have 54 sent currently and can create 17 giveaways, with four giveaways already running. When I was at 26 gifts sent, I only could make 11 giveaway train.

You start with 3- you'd only have lower if you deleted a giveaway at some point [which permanently deletes the slot that giveaway used].

What if support deleted it for me, for good reasons?

Doesn't change the mechanics involved- a deleted giveaway is -1 slot, regardless of reason.

Staff typically won't reset your slots, either, unless you get down to 0 :P

Since the system is theoretically at least partially in place to limit abuse, you'd presumably have to have a decent completion ratio on your sent giveaways overall for them to give you extra slots for a large giveaway.

Plus side, that +1 slot per 3 sent adds up pretty fast once you get past the initially tight restrictions. :)

29 slots with 81 GAs and one deleted GA. so it seems to be 29 = (81 / 3 - 1) + 3

"i hate people who don't mark received within 12 hours -.-"

Please be aware of different timezones and responsibilities people may have.

For example if your giveaway ends somewhere close to when the winner goes to bed, that's already around 8 hours "lost". If they then don't have time to check the page before heading to school/work that's about another 10 hours gone. Afterwards may be club activities or something similar too.

Just trying to say that it can be really hard to accept/send in a timely manner.

And if you need more slots and have a good history of giving you can ask the support for more :)

You start with 3 slots. For every 3 gifts marked "Received", you get an extra slot.
For every gift that is deleted or marked "Not Received", you will lose a slot. Giveaways that are running or "Awaiting Feedback" use your slots.

Keep in mind that 1 slot = 1 copy, not 1 giveaway. So a completed giveaway with 3 copies will grant you 1 extra slot, but deleting a 3 copies giveaway would make you lose 3 slots too.

You can submit a ticket in the "Other" category if you'd like to request extra slots.
