Just leave a message for the creator and wait for a week or so. The creator of the giveaway will contact you with a new key, or saying he hasn't any other key, and asking you to accept deletion.
I find extremely basic politeness to agree for the deletion. I always, always do. Sometimes keys get revoked sometimes they are old keys.

What do you mean you can't contact the giveaway creator? Do you mean you pinged them on steam?
You can simply post in the giveaway they created for the game telling them the key didn't work. This is the easiest way to contact someone on here and probably what most people would reply to.

Don't ping them on steam. Most people don't accept friend requests from strangers. Just post that the key you won isn't activating in the very giveaway itself. That'll give them a message too. And it's honestly much faster than waiting for a steam reply.
Edit- if you've already done it then just wait a few days. If within a week you don't get a reply you can simply mark it as not received. It happens.

One thing to bear in mind: don't feel like you're being "mean" by marking as not received, or even more that to be "nice" you should mark it as received - marking giveaways accurately is essential for how the site works.

Also you can mark it as not received and if the creator sees your messages after that happens (or sees they have a not received mark so actually looks in the giveaway for your message), and then fixes the issue (gives you a working key), you can change the feedback to received (no support ticket required either).

I won a giveaway but the key that I got is not working. Steam says this key has been used. I tried to contact with the creater but I couldn't. I don't want to report him this soon. I am new here so I don't know that much about what to do and English is not my first language. Sorry if I made any mistake. Thank you.
