galagiveaways.com, from the people who brought you the indie gala bundles. there doesn't seem to be a max cap on points, and you get points from having a high value of games in your account and from creating giveaways there. not much to it yet, but since we're all on a giveaway site now it might be worth checking out. i'd rather give away my stuff here because of the community, but i understand some people just want free stuff.

Their selection looks "meh" at best. I'm sticking with SG for now.

Having giveaway creators set the bidding fee is...weird.

Point system is horrible, you only gain points from your giveaways unless you are at empty.
You set your own point price so people are insanely overpricing items, It's nearly impossible to enter anything with the 'free' points. I don't think it's required you redeem the items so I'm guessing people are bidding low and selling high just for even more points. Don't think that site will last long. No harm to register, spend your points and hope for the best.

The points system theoretically is a matter of supply and demand.

But they've done it in a weird way. It would make more sense if you didn't get the base value at all, and only got the percentage * number of entries.

To make matters worse, basing your starting points on the size of your Steam library flooded the market with points and skewed people's judgement of what points are "worth". The flood of garbage giveaways and exploits only made it worse. And everything combined made the site look a bit like a fly-by-night joke, with people just messing about expecting the whole thing to collapse. So you've got people not only making absurdly expensive giveaways, you've got people paying those absurdly high entry fees.

Yarr, its a mess. SG's system seems well thought out in comparison and i'm happy to have it.

Oh my god this site is so bad. Looks like it was designed by a middle schooler, runs like it too.

I cant do **** on that site. I'm stuck at "Verification process" and a broken image. If anyone know how to fix it, or what I am doing wrong, dont hesitate adding me on steam as friend and explain :)
