Annoying giveaway results (giveaway inside)

So far I've been pretty lucky I think. Just a few rerolls and I haven't really come across any problems with winners. Not yet at least

I once had to ask three times for a rerrol in one of my giveaways 'cause the winners already had won a GA for that DLC.

Bad luck:PThanks for sharing hope you never had that kind of an issue again it sucks:S

Yeah, I had some pending giveaways for awhile but i quickly resolved it by replying to the email I sent to winners asking them to please confirm their winnings so I can have even more giveaways. That seemed to do the trick for me.

Thanks :D

So far no rerolls, but then again, I have only given away 2 games.

I had an annoying winner once, i'm sorry for your bad experience, glad it didn't stop you from keep making nice giveaways, i wish you better luck with your future winners ^^'

Happened to me once. I emailed the gift and the winner activated and emailed me back saying thanks.
But the winner did not mark as received.

I messaged the winner through steam chat and he kept on saying that he'll do it later. Waited a month and it was still no marked as recieved. Had to contact support to manually mark it.

this was in the earlier days... one would hope that how the site handles rerolls is better now...

it was a smallish group.. one guy won the game... but in the mean time he'd already won it in another giveaway. while waiting for the giveaway to be rerolled, i won the game in a different giveaway (it was a widely given away game at the time) - anyway, you guessed it, i won the reroll. so the game was rerolled again, and the original guy got picked again... game was rerolled once more, and my name got picked again... finally on the 4th reroll, someone who didnt have it, won :D

First fake win 3 weeks ago. Have screenshot.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Not mad about it. Thanks for the gib though.

I did a giveaway for a major franchise pack, and the winner proceeded to try and sell it in the Steam forums. Sadly he didn't get a lifetime ban. Other than that, nope, all of my winners accepted the gift/key and marked as received in short order. Most even said thanks.

I have a pending giveaway for more than one week now.
Send email and tried to add him on steam but no response.
He won 4 other giveaways in the past few month but did not activate a single one.

Once I had to request a re-roll three times for a giveaway.

Yep, you've guessed it; DeltaBlade's Fortix event...

regift and... amm... well read that thread...

I had one winner who tried to re-gift a couple of his previous wins and his Steam profile honestly looked like an alt account. No play time on a single game, account made close to Christmas, practically everything was bundled, offline for more than a week straight but checked SG daily. Super sketch. Probably stays logged in on his real account.

I asked for a re-roll which I believed was denied when support told me "the user has already been suspended for his offenses and is considered a valid winner now." I was fine accepting the not received mark. But then a month later my request was approved...? I think it's likely someone would do something else with the copy of the game by that time, but luckily it was still sitting in my inventory so I didn't have to buy it again at full price for the new winner. Btw, the original winner hasn't signed on Steam in 130 days now but still checks SG daily even though he's been permanently suspended. Strange...

For another giveaway I got another winner whose profile looked like an alt. :/ But it'd be the most impressive alt I've ever seen... 800+ games in library. It's hard to be mad if it's an alt and they are that dedicated lol.I just sucked it up and gave him the game despite my suspicions. And he added it to his inventory! I msg'd him a few days later and asked if he planned to activate his win and he says "forgot. done." :c

I just made a thread about being annoyed at winners too!

Then I guess I'm lucky, in 159 gifts sent I never needed to reroll :o

The only issue I had is that once I accidentally sent a used key, but that was obviously my fault.

I had one winner who spammed comments demanding their win. I had been offline for a whole day after the GA had ended, and when I logged in steam, I saw about 20 comments on my profile saying like "Give me a game now", " You're a liar/scammer", "Reported you to Steam." They were so childish that I felt pity rather than anger.

I also had a winner who had won over 60 GAs, of which they hadn't redeemed at least 10 games (stopped counting there, so I'm sure they had more unredeemed games.) I was so glad when they got permanently suspended :P

I heard about SG thru another forum and joined theIr private group since it seemed well organized and with good people. I lurked for a bit and then made a few giveaways. One of my early winners never came online but being new here i had already sent him the code. After 7 days i asked for a reroll but support couldn't because of the code being out there. His profile is private whenever i used to check so to this day, i don't know if he used the key or traded it or what.
A winner after him i noticed had been regifting so asked for a reroll but again i had innocently sent the code. I believe that winner ended up banned permanently for multiple reasons.
Anyways , learned a few things since then and definitely am more wary. I don't send codes anymore without talking first and looking at profiles, whether in a group or not.

Thanks :D
