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!

I just discovered the existence of your intriguing group, and this is my application for joining :)

I'm very motivated to try and be an active group member when I have something worthwhile to say. Hardly ever a day goes by I wouldn't check the SG discussions, which includes for example answering questions, making suggestions and helping out explaining technical jargon in English.

Here are some examples of my SG discussion writings I have put some extra effort into:

I noticed this group a little while ago, and it seems like a really cool community. I'm an avid bundler and SGer, and I'd love some new people to chat & play games with. Thanks for taking the time to give me a consideration!

This group is definitely not normal... and it mostly consists of hoarders that bought most of the games on Steam.

Cleaning the profile will be tough but it's not a lost cause. Reroll probably would not be a good idea in case of that DLC, but you can always try to negotiate with one of the creators. Maybe (s)he will be willing to reroll or delete the giveaway for some kind of compensation

i'm not sure support would approve of compensation
they do approve rerolls for old GA if you provide the new key ;)

For the Drums&guns DLC? That would be a mess, everyone has it already.
Compensation for deleting the GA or going through the multiple rerolls ( it's over a year old). It may be a "thank you", one never knows, but I wouldn't bet on it in this case

Only the creator can ask for reroll or deleting the giveaway, so you should speak with one of them about it

I wonder why the second guy wouldn't accept a compensation. A rarely bundled game or something cheap from his wishlist for just writing a simple support ticket would be much more useful for him. After all he seems to trade occasionally - maybe you just have to figure out his price.

I would assume he just wants to keep his sg-level at 1. But he could surely keep that with a shiny new key (from you).

Well good luck with this, multiple wins is really annoying :/

I don't think support can do much about it. Unless you have the old key and can give it back, support's hands are tied in this case.

And well, while a lot of groups do want members with clean profiles, there are enough left who are aware of this problem with multiple wins and added something like a... "statute of limitation" to their rules. i think SGTools custom rules can take this into account, too. You are certainly not locked out of everything on SG ! :P

I suppose I could just mark one of them not-received and that would annoy one of the giveaway creators enough

No that would be against the rules and is certainly not well recived on SG and in this group.
You could however reject the giveaway like one of rusoo7's winner did and send it back to the giver. I guess that's backed by the rules, however it's a pretty dickish move after this much time. But jeah support would probably have to accept that, maybe you should rather ask them about that..

Well, their points are reasonable :P However I'm pretty sure as long as you are able to give back one of the original copies you can do so.

I would adivse you to ask support, if that's 100% possible and "save". Then contact the giveaway creator, whose copy you still have and give him/her back the gift and apologize for the inconvenience. After this you can change the giveaway feedback.

Afterall, you should have known that you weren't supposed to accept the second gift, so it's really not a nice situation for the giveaway creator. So what I'm saying is, if you do this you should be polite about it, as it's not their fault that you have trouble with this, now :)

Sorry to hear that none of them turned out to be nice. Sigh. Long shot, but maybe you have some common Steam friends that could put some pressure on one of them..

It is a messy job. My self i had someone win one of my GAs. It was many months later the winner contacted me and sent me the game as steam gift back. The original GAs was steam gift as well. No way of knowing if its the original item. I accepted it without thinking. Then I see on my SG profile that I have one GA marked as not received. It was for that same game. So I asked support to reroll it. This game was by then bundled on a massive scale so i had to reroll it like 20 times before i found winner that didn't own it yet.

So this is easily possible? As long he has the original copy, he could just give it back and then mark the gift as not received? I mean even if you hadn't accepted it, I would assume he could have done this? Did you ask support about this, while you were asking for all those re-rolls?

Hum but maybe it's sufficient if the winner just attempts to give back the game with evidence (screenshot, like in other cases). Maybe support would approve in this case, too, even if the giver didn't take the game back.

I mean there could certainly be a case where a winner receives a gift in their email, unaware of the relation to SG and adds it to their inventory.
Then logs into Steamgifts and realizes that they have now a "multiple win" because they won the same game the day before. Certainly support would have to approve if that winner rejects the gift and does not mark it as received, even if the giver doesn't want to take the game back for some reason.

So I wonder if a winner would not always be eligible to reject a win, as long as they can give back the original copy. That's why I'm asking, if support has clarified that, because otherwise it sounds to me that these cases would be handled in a "Tick your it"-way.

I certainly don't know how this is handled at all :)
