Or instead of hiding them,
a visual icon which indicates: "You are already in another giveaway for this game"
is this possible?

Sounds good.
Dumb idea. / It's not possible.

Why?

so it could prevent entering a giveaway for the same game by accident, it could look at your page http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/entered and tell you which ones you are already in :)

but why would you want to hide other giveaways for games you want to win?

just enter everything, then if you win multiple at the same time, ask the creator for a reroll. :3
and if you win and you are still on others, remove those entries.

nah, it's pretty easy.
win game once, activate, mark as received, reroll other wins from the same game (won't happen unless you are very lucky, or enter giveaways with lots of copies).

btw, the reroll is requested by the ga creator, you just need to let that user know that you need it (post in the giveaway).

Not good idea. If u want to win a game, more chance if u join more ga-s.

Makes more sense to automatically remove additional entries if you win one... rather then hiding the additional giveaways when you enter one.

The opposite is better. If you join a GA, press a button and see all other GA for the same game.

That would be quite easy.
Something like this for example:

$('.featured__columns').prepend('<a href="/giveaways/search?q=' + document.title.replace(/\s/g,'+') + '"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></a>')

you can request a re-roll from a mod in the rare instance of winning multiple of the same.
account sync should hide most of what you already have
there is a hard to see gray on gray eye icon that let's you manually hide GA's if SG can't see you have it because the game has multiple steamID's or if it's simply something you don't want.
btw, only buy bundles from bundle sites, do not buy individual games, the reason for this is devs sometimes have cr** versions they dump on bundle sites which is ok if you are paying 10 cents a game but if you are paying full price (75%off) get it directly from steam (or GOG if it's for yourself)
