Whom do you gift most?

Mostly public w/o level because I don't mind leechers and know the feeling of my early steamgift days., tried to do a group but no one entered so I canceled it. Did one invite/private to attract attention to one of my forum posts.

6.5% public
20% group
71.6% private (puzzles)
1.9% whitelist

Mostly forum invites from the trains and flash giveaways. Whitelist got the good stuff.

Lately, private.

Public: 10 $
Group: 15,75 $
Private: 102 $

Sounds accurate. The Group Giveaways have been (for now) a one time thingy. For the private giveaways most have a level restriction but the have been all accessible through the forum. Sometimes a puzzle was required in order to find them. So I mainly do forum/puzzle giveaways with level restriction. For the puzzle giveaways I could actually safely ignore the level restriction since most leechers don't go through the effort of solving them.

lvl 0 public but going more towards level 1 public nowadays [since they are willing to spend at least 9 cents on a giveaway to level up ;p]
whitelist and puzzles both lvl 0

Public: 85%
Group: 0%
Private: 8%
Whitelist: 7%

Preference: Public+Level Restriction, but it tends to go to whitelist, since I'm kinda new here yet but I found a lot of great people lately.
I really may change my preference to whitelist and some privates giveaway released on forums...
In main guidelines, I think people should be rewarded. To be rewarded they have to do something nice to someone.

"You do not have permission to view this giveaway, since you've been blacklisted by the giveaway creator." -> Why?

Private for me, with level 2+. But most of giveaways from is publically available on forum, just have to check it out

Public - 20%
Group - 20%
Private (Read Forums) - 60%
I mostly do stuff on the forums for all the entertaining people I get to read about daily :)

I mostly do private thread giveaways, but I also do a lot of whitelist/group giveaways. I try to do public every once in a while, but I haven't done many giveaways for them recently.

almost everything public with level req. i never liked steam groups and i don't see why i should use them. -_-
anyway, i joined some because it seems some people only do group GAs and i'd hate to be excluded, since they can enter all my public ones.

Group 42%
Private 35%
Public 17%
Whitelist 6%

I use many different methods to limit my entrants.

I don't leech, neither plan to - so public giveaways strictly. Same thing for the future. Maybe going to limit to some level when I will make a giveaway for top notch title, to avoid some leechers and give contributors bigger chance to win.

If majorly you do group, private and whitelist giveaways, in my books you are a community leecher. Since like someone said, you still enter public giveaways to win, but don't contribute to public, only to private groups? What's that all about, such nonsense.

Of course if it's only 10-25% group/private/whitelist and rest is public, that's awesome, but if you got something like 90% group/private/whitelist only, that's same as leeching in my eyes. Unless you have not entered public giveaways, which is an exception then.

Private of course. Only for the forum people. That's right, I love you all that much. :3

A mix for me.

Public + level (to avoid the majority of leechers and bot-script entries)
Private via Forums (because showing a little bit of effort to engage the site besides clicking the "Enter Giveway" button is sexy)

No whitelist or group giveaways yet -- I'm still relatively new to the site.

Mixed, but mostly group giveaways.

Public and Group are almost tied!

Public - $464.56
Group - $464.52

Sweet, so looks like I do most of mine as a mixture of Private/group giveaways. Tells me I need to make more for the public and whitelist haha :D

Public, but I mostly give to Whitelist+Group these days.

Mostly private from puzzles/events. I don't like public giveaways, I prefer rewarding people who take part actively in the forum
