Giveaway winners you've met

key or gift?

You can email it to him. His email should appear in the winners screen.

he probably thinks a bot added him.

just send the gift via email, or find an old comment he posted on sg and reply there so he gets a notification.

If you can't get a hold of them, you might need to request for a re-roll. Try e-mailing them.

1. Enter his/her page on SG
2. Find some old public GA
3. Leave a comment
4. Wait untill he/she will read it
5. ???
6. Profit

Error message might not mean that he is declining the request, try adding through browser.
Has worked for me several times.

Happens to me all the time. I'm sending them an e-mail afterwards, they unblock me, add me, and they say: "Oh, sorry, I thought that you're a bot". How the f*ck can they mistake my profile as a bot's profile? xD

Outta curiosity, did you make sure to note in your giveaway that you'd be sending the game through steam?
If I'm not expecting a friend invite, I always assume bots/scammers on Steam, myself..
So I always keep an eye out for if anyone mentions they'll be doing that :)

Yea.... I'd meet her...HER!!!!

Fucking tuck brothers.. I don't want a female look a like!

Don't worry OP I made the same mistake the first time I did a giveaway. The E-mail option works the best with gifts^^,

That happened to me once , also when i checked the user i saw that he had 2 wins without activation, so i ask for a reroll and the support team suspended him + reroll :)

1. Screenshot error message when you're adding the winner on steam.
2. Sent an email with "hey, you won my raffle, unblock me (steam id, raffle link)", screenshot it.
   • Don't send the game on email! You might end up with forever pending/non received feedback and you'll have to contact support to fix it and the winner probably won't activate it since he doesn't know the rules.
3. Wait 7 days, request reroll, provide screenshots — enjoy a new winner who actually knows what is going on.

P.S. If you still want to give the game to this guy for some reason: block him, un-block him and send an invite on steam again. I wouldn't do that, though.

Now something unexpected happened, that guy already had this game in his library. Why would you bother to entry my GA draw if you already had it! Now I am really pissed off.

Don't be pissed if a winner don't accept your steam invite.

Just happened to me a couple of days ago.

I won a giveaway and the creator tried to add me and I refused. But the thing is, I play CS:GO, and I'm pretty good at it, so every fucking time I play CS:GO someone randomly adds me so they can play matchmaking with me, or if I already played matchmaking with them, they add me so we can play again.

And I just got used to ignore the invites.

And it happens the creator was going to send me the game as a gift, and he added me first and I ignored him. He got kinda pissed and sent me a not so polite e-mail. Not calling me names or anything, but a lot of caps-lock.

It happens I only heard about the giveaway won when I saw his e-mail.

So yeah, it happens. Its not his fault. :P

No i never met any of my winners nor had some beers with them.

good luck i hope that person will except the game so it doesn't go to waste.
