So after my last two GAs I'm apparently at level 3.99. And despite not winning since last October and seemingly constantly losing giveaways to people with much worse ratios (including the tshirt!), I'm still around. And hey, why not get that last bump to level 4 then?

I've tried to create this simple giveaway but seeing my GA winners with like 200 games won, 6 games sent is very sad to me so I'm trying my first tools giveaway with a 0.7 ratio, I hope I did it right and it rewards someone who may be down on their luck like me.

You should try to get into a group or two. It's hard winning giveaways in public even for cheap bundled games unless you spend lots of time checking for 1 hour long GAs.

And thanks for the giveaway.

Great tip! It's amazing how many GAs are made exclusively for groups. Sometimes I miss some GAs because I know I won't be able to keep the ratio. :)

The only problem is that most groups require the user to already have a certain level or a good ratio, or to do monthly GAs, and that's not that simple for most users here. :/

I think I'm on a few whitelists, some groups, but I couldn't keep up with some of the rules so don't bother with the ones that probably have the best results / games. I just can't justify buying games to give away games to win games, you know?

Having said that, I think the Unlucky group is the only reason I got to 9 wins in the first place.

Playing Appreciated might be worth a look for you. The only real requirement is that you play anything you win within a month. There's no obligation to make giveways or keep a certain ratio or anything like that.

I wish I had a job to buy humble bundles and share the extra keys with sg, until then ill just keep whitelist people so that they'll have a chance to win really cool games when i'll start finally doing some paid devs.

People with 200+ wins usually join every trash they see like asset flips, free gamehag games or bad made games developed just to be promoted there. As you entered arround 7k giveaways in 2 years, I guess you are more picky than that. I recommend not lower your standarts and wait on good game for you, no matter you don't win any other day.

You're right, that's part of my "problem" but after a few early wins for things like Pii Sim I realized I don't want to win "a game", I want to win games I want. So I mainly enter wishlist GAs and they are much harder to win than 50 copies of Puzzle Hentai Whatever DX.

I passed, but I'll let someone else get the game that is more likely to play it. Thanks for the good giveaway though, and good luck on your journey to Level 4!

Your ratio is: 0.49

Guess it's time to do more giveaways myself

Honestly with the calibre of games you've been giving (despite literally one called Garbage) I would have been happy with you as a winner. Have a whitelist, for what it's worth.

Thanks :) Have a bump since Bioshock is absolutely fantastic game. Everyone should play it. I already have completed all of them anyways

Sadly the massive number of users who never en bothered making one giveaway is vastly overwhelming the number of people making GAs so that the site still exists so the odds of you losing to people with appalling ratios are extremely high.
Good on you for not giving up on making GAs though and good luck with winning more.

Because of your concern, I will add you to my withelist. I don't do a lot of exclusive GAs very often, but... still, your chances of winning something will be a little bit higher in the future. :)

Thanks for all the replies! Passed around some whitelists (for my oh-so-common GAs) and appreciate the suggestions and support.

SG tools is a great way to go, and it seems that you managed. :-) Congrats on making it to level 4! (soon)

By the way, Playing Appreciated is a nice group that has a playing requirement, and Unlucky 7 is a nice group for new SG members or those who have not won many.
