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!

Can I also please convey to you and dkny my admiration and satisfaction for a well thought of and structured OP with crystal clear and unambiguous group requirements!

I tip my hat of especially for this requirement:

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

So we never forget that all SG users have at least one thing in common: at some point in time we all started from scratch on SG. :-)

Yes, I’m a hypocrite for being only in 3 SG giveaway groups (CGiveaways 13326 members, Lot’s O Giveaway’s 44785 members and Bundle Addicts Anonymous 65 members) and for having only done 85% public giveaways and having 29/30 wins in public giveaways and 1/30 in a Steam group giveaway...

In the end the math’s and the habits don’t lie: not for me, not for you…

I reserve the right to judge your profile also according to other criteria.

You've must have forgotten that public giveaways are easier to see then "invite only" giveaways that can be forum giveaways or not.

Atleast this OP doesn't judge people by means of non listed criteria like you so much like to do.

Why so few comments?

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Well I was always a silent forum user and just read the threads but didnt commented.
Also I didnt really wanted to post a generic "thanks" or "ty" or something on every public giveaway and Im too lazy and uncreative to think of something for every ga, especially public/low level ones which I enter(ed) alot.
And english is not my native language so it takes longer to translate what I want to say

Also tbh 3 months ago I was level 1 and was more consuming here than really participating in the whole community thing.

I am sorry, but we factor in CV value. You have sent $3, and you have won $10.50. This is not a 2:1 ratio.
You are also only level 1 and have made 32 comments.

But what about the members that did meet all listed OP requirements? Because it could be perceived as favoritism or 2 weights and 2 measures especially for (some of) those that didn't got invited in this thread.

And what about this then:

Once you join:
You are required, however, to maintain 1 won : 2 given CV on SteamGifts (no ratio in the group).

And what about this then:

There will be announcement with detailed explanation of this rule once we are done with recruiting. There won't be strict enforcement. I will explain myself later.

Edit: And just to clarify, Tumalu got in before ratio entry req and this rule were clearly stated. He stays with us but all members (including me) will have to follow a certain set of rules as far as ratio.
