Marking as "not received" hurts the giveaway creator, and in this case, for something they had nothing to do with (an entrant already owning the game). Since you already have the game, marking it as "received" won't hurt you, and if nobody suggests anything better, you could always create another giveaway using the same key.

(unless there are excessive instances of this happening).
Does that actually happen? I mean, since people can simply ask winners if they agree to have the GA deleted, I find it hard to believe that red marks are piling up on some profiles. Unless they are from users who don't check the forum and have no idea that asking for deletion is allowed.

Yeah, asking for deletion is... allowed, but the winner doesn't actually have to agree to a deletion.
(I kinda have to wonder how often that even comes into play. Honestly, I feel like people putting that on all their giveaways is a bit excessive- if some accident happens, people are generally nice enough to agree to a deletion regardless of what the description says... people putting that in all their descriptions makes it sound like they expect an accident to happen, regardless of their intentions. Which ironically would make me less willing to cooperate, depending on the person.)

I don't get Gaffi.
The creator gave a key, a correct one. It's not his fault that the person that won, already has a the game.
Why not just mark as "received" since the creator gave the right key to the winner, and the winner has the game?
No point on "burning" a slot, or "hurt" the giveaway creator when he wants to enter giveaways protected by SG TOOLS that check those type of stuff.
Or am I missing something and understanding all wrong? Thanks for the help in advance!

It don't give sg tools checks for "deleted GAs" or "have undelivered GAs in his stats" ;o)
Of course is the gifter the one that don't made something wrong but loosing a GA slot isn't a big thing.
How many hundreds have you ?
Besides that the support help when someone is in problems and need, as example, 3 slots more.

I actually have not thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion

So, I won this giveaway, but forgot to check if I don't already own it before entering. It let me enter because the game was removed from the store. Usually in this situation I'd ask for them to reroll, but I was the only entry. I wrote comment on the GA and they told me to just keep the key. After that I asked if they could delete the GA instead, but they didn't respond so far. It's been 4 days since then. I really don't know what to do. Should I just mark it as "Not Received"?
