I was quite lucky. When more than 1000 members enter most public giveaways, you shouldn't expect a fast win.

Its kinda funny but I've seen people here who have won up to 3 games within 3 weeks of joining and others who have won only after like 2000 entries and 4 months.

I guess it all comes down to probability. :D

It also depends on what you've been entering. If you're entering giveaways that have been created for weeks, there's definitely going to be a larger amount of entrants than one that's been created an hour ago. Strategy, ho!

Edit: This sentence looks like a grammar nightmare, but I'm too lazy to fix it.

Though seriously with all the bunndles GAs around cause of the new rules it's way easier to win games all you have to do is enter GAs, getting lvl 1+ should help as well.

Not that uncommon at all. Entering private giveaways or smaller group giveaways increases one's odds of winning dramatically.

Re-gifting gets you suspended from the site. You must activate all wins on the Steam profile you won them with. Gift games you've bought your self. As i said in another comment, read the rules or you will probably be suspended as many new users that don't bother to read the rules and break them.

Ever since we switched to SGv2 i've had more luck than usual (4 wins in 3 weeks ). On SGv1 i had a win every 4-6 months XD. (I hope i'm not jinxing my luck right now XD! )

But as most have said, if you are planning on entering public giveaways/with a lot of entries, don't expect a lot of wins. The best way to increase your chance to win, is to giveaway games and be active on the forums. That way you will be able to enter higher level giveaways ( less entries = higher chance to win ), and people will see that you are active on the forums and invite you from time to time to private giveaways. Also puzzles, try and solve them, they usually have very low amount of entries and high chances to win.

But before all of that, be sure to read the rules!

A quick guide to winning giveaways on Steamgifts

By jbondguy007

So, You've just registered on Steamgifts, you are a bit lost and confused by how the website works. You want to get free games and you want them now, without going through all the reading and clicking and whatnot.

Now... Hold it a second there, cowboy. This isn't a magical realm where you'll acquire dozen of free games in a few days, sadly. The art of winning will require patience, control and simple overall generosity (or at least, be a good member of the community as you can).

First thing first, read the Rules/FAQ. Yes, I know it's long and boring and you have more important things to do. But hear me out here, reading it can save you a whole lots of trouble. First, you are extremely likely to break a rule if you don't know about it. Ignorance is no excuse for rule breaking, so for the sake of you, read it. Second, rule breaking may result in you landing in some user's blacklist. Blacklist = You won't be allowed to enter giveaways created by them.

Here I will list the ways you can increase your chances at your first wins.


Private/puzzle giveaways

Most likely the best and most reliable way to win games. Members of the forum will often create private giveaways, and post them in the forum. Alternatively, they may create puzzles that must be solved to get to the giveaway. A guide to puzzle-solving by Zelghadis.
Both of these giveaway have way less entries, thus much higher odds than public giveaways.

Group giveaways

If you can afford giving away many games, this is the best choice for you. Basically, you begin by joining a private giveaway group. Most of these groups have a special system to avoid leechers. You win games, you giveaway games. Simple enough, huh?
Extremely high odds of winning giveaways this way. Slightly depends of the members count of the group and the amount of giveaway creating required.
Note that most of these groups have special requirements for joining, such as having a decent level, being an active Steamgifts member...

Whitelist

Probably the hardest way to win games, but decently good odds.
A member of Steamgifts may add any other users to their whitelist. They may then create a "whitelist giveaway", which enables only whitelisted users to join. As you can guess, you must get recognized as an active forum user, and show your good side. But unless you are truly an active forum user (and aren't a scumbag), this solution is not reliable.


What else should I know?

Well, giving away games will slightly increase your odds of winning games, in a way. Whenever you give any games away (with five entries or more), your contributor value will increase. Give away enough games, and you'll reach a higher contributor level. This is your contributor level. There are up to 10 levels.
Once you've reached a certain level (for example, level 3), you may now enter giveaways with a level restriction of up to level 3. Level up to level 4, you may now enter level 4 giveaways as well. It's not much, but it will give you a slight edge on winning a giveaway. Read more about Contributor levels.


Other facts

  • Most users win a giveaway past 1,000 entries. Some of them even reached 3,000 entries without a single win.
  • You may attempt joining trivia night in the Steamgifts group chat. Every Sunday 6PM EST. Don't forget to read the trivia rules first.
  • Even if you follow all of the tips in this guide, it doesn't mean in any way that you are guaranteed to succeed at winning. Remember; it takes lots of time and patience.

So, that's it?

Pretty much, yep. You know the basics about winning giveaways on Steamgifts.
Now go forth, and make me proud. And good luck! You'll need it!

Just another one of those thread, I guess. Patience is key here. Let Lady Luck play her game, you'll win sooner or later. In the meantime, it helps to contribute a bit to the community. You'll level up and gain a bit of karma points. Good luck!
