Decided to open this up. I'm just too slow creating GAs. Still making more as we speak.

Oh thank you <3
Also I am pretty pleased by the fact that I met GoT fan here ;)
As for me this is the only TV show I enjoyed watching
I am not a many faced god cult member(but still very impressed by their assassin tricks)...More like a dragon rider)

Hope you can fix both issues.
I think I only had one issue with a dupe, but was fixed quickly after I contacted their support, since they gave me a new key right away.
Go go level 7. Without issues this time

Thanks! I just know fate will somehow stop me at 6.95 or something.

Thank you for your giveaways, ManyFacedG*d and have fun on your road to level VII. ^^
I have had about 10 duplicate keys to date in my giveaways and that were games where the devs invalidated the keys for one reason or another. Games like Days Under Custody, Axyos and Putrefaction 2. I managed to solve those problems with Steam store gifts and DIG keys.

DIG store was the first thing that came to mind too! I checked and they did not have those that I had issues with. I also emailed Robert as the keys were in a DIG Greenlight bundle before but he sadly did not have any spares.

Hopefully things will get sorted out because out of my own experiences it's not fun when you hear that gift keys are duped.

I haven't run into any problem, but probably will when I decided to clean up my stock of free keys of garbage games from giveaways...

Good luck! I'm zeroing out my keys now and will stick to Humble, Fanatical, GMG and Indiegala probably.

Only had a dupe in once in my GAs. No problem arose, cause (then) BundleStars support quickly send me a new key.
I only create GAs with keys / links / gifts from Fanatical, Humble, indiegala (links only) and Steam itself.

^^ This. Well, I've also used Groupees. :p
Only had one problem (that wasn't my fault) and it was fixed by the vendor.

Thank you for the giveaways and the freebies :)

Sorry to hear about all of your problems with those sites. :( Hope they get back to you someday. Bump!

Only had an issue as a winner, I got a humble link already activated, after some research it already happened before, and can happen if the gift link isn't redeemed quickly enough, it can be hacked/found by someone else. Made me a little paranoid about humble links since...

Well, I hope, for your sanity, that the rest of the keys are not dupes.

Celebrated my 2nd cake day a few days back with ~130+ giveaways. It was my first time to be met with mass duplicate keys though. Thought I'd share the story here and also give some more since I fell short of Level 7. Skip to the end for the GA. 😀
Problem1
I had loads of keys from Otakumaker (before they split into Otakubundle and Gogobundle). I bought in batches of 10 and it seems that 20 of the 200 or so keys I bought on there were duplicates. 13 of those 20 keys were givein in 2 giveaways(1 and 2). I could still login to their portal but the key/purchases page was already down. I tried using same credentials on their 2 new sites but it didn't work. I created a new account on the sites with same email in hopes of them linking my old profile to their new sites but it was pretty much empty. So I then messaged them on Facebook and also filled up their contact form. Sadly, until now I've never heard back from them. I had to trade some gems to get 13 new keys as I felt bad for the winners. All in all I don't really blame the site as the keys were purchased 2 years ago(2016) but if that's the level of support they offer, I'm not coming back to buy it seems.
Problem2
I recall from my time on the forums here that not many like HRK. I've only bought there a few times but just check on the trades section every now and then. 1 of the giveaways posted also got the duplicate issue. I raised to support and conceded to their verification process of screenshots that required your game library open, the PC time visible, the key visible(on their site or your email) and a before and after screenshot(key is in the field and key resulted to duplicated error).
It's not that tedious but seems totally unnecessary (as I had the order #, email proof, etc )and I guess screenshots could be faked by some. In any case, the point here is that they replaced the key but lo and behold, replaced key is a dupe. Now I have 3 copies of Botology in my account. 1 was used, 1 is this currently being disputed one and another one unused. While waiting for support to fix the second dupe, I opted to reveal the key on the 3rd one and give it instead. Who'd have thought it would be a dupe too? Now I have 2 Botology keys that are duped and haven't heard from support in
over 8 days now(37mins after thread opened, I got a reply) whereas before they replied in ~24 hours. I just fear that my remaining 200+ keys with them might be dupes.Update(3/9/2018)
Just so everyone knows, when HRK got back to me with the 2nd replacement key, it was still a dupe. So latest is: I got 2 dupe keys, got them replaced by 2 dupes. Still talking with support.
Anyone care to share their experience or thoughts?
