Maybe noob question, but...

Can I enter DLC giveaway even if I already own it?

Yes I have read FAQ, but rule only states "Don't enter for games you already own."

By "games," do they also mean DLC? Or just regular games?

Not only that, but also once I synced account, I CAN'T enter giveaway for game I already own, but for DLC, I still could, ever if I already own DLC?

So... can I enter for DLC I already own?

EDIT:
Ok, so the answer is NO...

But yet I'm sure in history, there is hundred of users won DLC they already own, then do something with it, like give it to friend or whether. Steamgifts should do something about it, just saying lol.

That's what I thought, but the problem is that users still can enter for DLC they already own...

Duh, everyone want extra games, to benefit themselves.

Heck, one could win DLC then regift it somewhere else for CV

Was about to ask that, too.

OP, what would you do with that spare DLC, since you are not allowed to re-gift games you win here? O.o

Simple. Regift it in another giveaway site.

Or I could just give it to my friend. :D

Are you saying Steamgifts can catch users doing that?

Gee, it's like Steamgifts is NSA; monitoring everything...

So, your saying you'd like to break the rule if you can get away with it?

If you can easily get away with it, yeah, who wouldn't?

Yeah, only people with good moral wouldn't do that, but amount of that kind of people is very low.

No. Anyway, why would you do that? Regift is forbidden. :P

For exemple, I can still enter for Borderlands GOTY but I have this game, so this is useless.

What do you mean? They can check that you haven't activated the DLC if it's a gift. Not sure if it's a key though but I doubt you'd get away with it. And there's no point anyway.

but would you really risk it?

also, you usually get the gift by mail, and if you already own the DLC, i don't think you could ever receive it.

Yeah, but winning giveaways from actual generous people just to create your own giveaway purely for CV is a shitty and pathetic thing to do.
