UPDATE:

We no longer accept new applications, however few more spots may become available in the future. If you meet ALL entry requirements feel free to leave a comment below (see entry requirements for what information to post), but please do not expect a reply/invite soon. Thank you!


Bundle Addicts Anonymous (BAA)

Rachellove, KTS and I decided to create a small group for people who are as addicted to bundles, deals, gifting games, making friends, and the SG community as much as we are.

What is BAA?

This is not a ratio-based giveaway group, nor do we focus solely on giving away games. Initially, when we formed this group, we aimed to unite kind-hearted, generous SG members to share giveaways with. However, it has since grown into a friendly gathering of users who feel comfortable chatting, playing games, and sharing thoughts and opinions openly with each other.

Over time, we have adjusted our old rules to accommodate the needs of the group and to incorporate the helpful suggestions of our members.

We strive to build a tight-knit community of people who give much more than they take or receive, enjoy talking to other members, and love the SteamGifts community in general. Most importantly, we expect all members to be active within our group.

Why BAA?

This is, in essence, a smaller community within the greater SG community comprised of individuals with a variety of unique personalities and backgrounds – so all introverts and extroverts are welcome!

We take all of our members very seriously and expect them to follow all rules, including maintaining a real CV ratio and respecting all members of the group.

However, we are also a fun-loving group of people who realize that SG and friendships are more than giving away games – it’s about finding people to connect with, play games with, talk to, and forge lasting relationships with.

When joining, please consider YOUR reasons for joining this group, as we do not accept those who want to use this group as a +1 or to simply give and win games. We take a holistic approach to selecting members, taking into consideration people’s contributions to SG, their personalities and unique attributes, and whether or not they mesh well with our values.

How and When can you join BAA?

Please ensure that you meet all entry requirements listed in the section below and post all necessary information, along with an explanation as to why you would like to join. We will review your application when we begin to accept new members and spots become available.


Member limit: around 100

Entry requirements:

  • Level 5+

  • $1 won : $2 sent in Real CV value, not the quantity on your SG profile.

  • 1000+ comments and continuously active on forum.

  • At least 30% of your GAs have to be public or “invite only” forum GAs (not just giveaways for private groups or all region-restricted GAs).

  • No multiple wins or unactivated games.

Once you join:

  • Members are not required to create giveaways for our group (but any GAs you do create are greatly appreciated).
  • You are required to maintain a $1 won : $2 given REAL CV ratio on SteamGifts. (There is no in-group ratio).
  • Most importantly, remain active within our group – whether that be participating in group events, joining in group chat, creating group GiveAways, and commenting in the group forum and group GAs.
    • (For more information, check the “Our Rules” page on the group’s Discussion page, accessible after you join)

If you want to join us, please let us know in comments below by posting # of comments, your Real CV ratio, any relevant information as stated in the Entry Requirements section above, and why you would like to join BAA. We’ll send you an invite once spots are open again if you are accepted!

Give at least twice of what you win. $1 won : $2 sent in CV value, not quantity. Check your stats here. If you qualify please post your real CV ratio in comments.

I blame that Fallout 4 win a few weeks back. xD Typical, since finally reach 1k comments, and now locked out by something else~ Ahwells, dropped by since thread was bumped and I realised I'd finally hit that comment quota. It will go up sooner or later, but not quite by that much. Can't do a Lv7 push any time soon.

I'm sorry Nate. If you have any issues, you should bring it up to the admins of the group. I don't believe we are being unfair in asking people to wait.

Dk and I wanted a small group when we first created it, not one that accepts members on a rolling basis. We aim for a group of roughly 100-110. And you ask why we do not accept everyone that qualifies- well, let me answer that in another way if I have not explained well above.

We expect members to be active within our own group. We don't just look at a person's stats. We take into consideration what we know of them on the forums, as a person, as a friend, etc. We take our time doing a holistic approach to selecting members rather than basing our judgments off of numerical values. This is what BAA cares about - QUALITY members over QUANTITY

And I think if any further issues come up, they should be addressed win either me or dk or K. Thanks

After you removed Yunie from your whitelist without even talking to her during her hard life moment, you guys got upset because it's rude if we kicked you out from a whitelist group (Y-Utopia) without warning you.
Anyway Yunie took the time to reply to you and now I find myself kicked out without warning from BAA even if I fit all the rules?
Thanks for confirming that you are just a bunch of hypocrites that can't reason more far than "an eye for an eye", everyone who I had the time to know well has already invited to join us.

I always tried to be super-partes on SG and on internet in general, but this is just ridicolous considering the age of some.
I won't miss this group, already confirmed my exit and sync

No, you don't fit all the rules. Specifically "Being Active" one. You never commented on the announcements and multiple reminders so I don't know if you ever read them.
We are removing all the members that are not active in the group (check group numbers, 5 people were removed just today along). We announced months ago that we will be removing inactive members at regular intervals so we could invite someone who is more interested in the group.
I realize that you may think that you are the center of the universe but, no it's not "an eye for an eye" otherwise you would be removed at the time I got kicked from the group without warning.

Also, what does my personal whitelist has to do with anything? And how am I supposed to talk to a person that removed me from their friend's list and left the group without talking to anyone? I am not a stalker.

Believe it or not, I can relate to that too. Why do you think I took a 3 month break from the site? I just prefer to deal with my problems myself instead of blaming others for the lack of sympathy.

Sorry but I read all your announcements, the "active rules" was satisfied by commenting on GAs and doing Gas on SG, (among the other thing) and I did both.
I would copy & paste them but looks like they are not accessible from outside, quite unclear why.

As I said in our little chat quarrel, just move your finger and add the person to know why.

That said, I've no other post to waste on you, farewell

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't know what's gone on so I can't comment on anything regarding your current situation, but I did want to add that I suffer my own personal problems and the short time I've been in and around the chat I've had nothing but support and been made to feel welcome.

I think its unfair to say to someone they don't understand or care about depression regarding one incident as no one really knows what anyone around here is going through.

That being said, I have nothing but sympathy and respect for Yunie(who I don't know) for her predicament and hope she finds happiness.

Like I said, I don't really want to get involved in any specific situation, just thought I'd let you know of my own personal experience with the group.

At least 30% of your GAs have to be public or “invite only” forum GAs (not just giveaways for private groups or all region-restricted GAs).

What are you considering for this rule, the number of GAs or the real CV? I always thought it was the number of GAs, but maybe I was wrong! :S
In my case, the results with one way or the other, are quite different:

  • Number of GAs: 142 (Public + Private) / 360 (All) ~ 39 %
  • Real CV: 761 $ (Public + Private) / 3352 $ (All) ~ 23 %

I'd like to join your group (since long ago actually) if I meet the requirements, of course, but if I don't, I'd like to know whether I have real posibilities of joining because I'd try to meet the requirements in that case! Thankies! ^^
