Simple question...

Closed

Hello there everyone. I'm new to this. I'm wondering, if by any chance I win a giveaway, what process do I have to go through to get the game in my Steam games library? Thanks in advance. Cheers.

You will have to wait to be contacted by the giveaway creator. He/she will then proceed to give you the game via email, trade, or in chat messaging you the key.

You will know it once you won. There will be a green bar on website informing your win. After you get your prize, you have to approve on your page that you claimed prize. Also sometimes creators are waiting for winner to add them (not always), so from time to time, better check.
And don't forget if you ever trade or giveaway the game you won, you may be banned from community. Welcome to the Steam Gifts!

Ha, thank you. If I'm interested to get the game, it's pointless to give it away to the fishes, lol. :p

I've read the FAQ and rules, I just didn't saw this specific question of mine.

Actually I have another question. How is the winner picked by the creator (or someone else)?

Unless Xarabas is participating, in which case Xarabas is picked at random by the site.

Unless Toaster is participating, in which case xarabas is not picked at random by the site.

Our site randomly picks a winner through complicated jiggery-pokery and faerie wings dusted with glitter. All very technical, but it's done automatically.

That's a fair way to do it. Thanks.

We first upgrade them to cyborgs. Everyone needs a hobby after all.

If you did, you wouldn't ask this.

How are the winners chosen?

The winners are randomly selected.
