Everybody's got equal chance, whether there are 4 people or 4000 subscribed to the giveaway :D

One win with 700 entries is good considering it's all random and usually a good game has 1k+ entries. This site has over 250k members, surely you didn't think it would be easy to win games with that many people around to enter? I have 2500+ entries and won 9 times, some people has over 2000 entries and still didn't manage a single win.

It's all luck. Winners are picked up at random by bots. To increase your chances more, contribute more games and enter high contribution giveaways which would lower the number of entries and increase your chances and/or join private giveaway groups which are usually very small and you will have very large chance of winning. Just because you don't win every giveaway you enter doesn't mean the site is fake. Everyone has equal opportunity to win.

My advice is come to the site once or twice a day and enter giveaways you want and forget about it. Don't get your hopes up or you will get very frustrated. And don't wait for giveaways to end to see if you won. You will be notified if you win. Winning is a matter of luck much like betting or gambling. You can't expect to win every time.

It's almost impossible to win public giveaways.

Probability of one to few thousands is far, so very far from impossible. Winning every public giveaway ever till the end of the site, that is, my friend, almost impossible.

Every public giveaway I won except one had more than 1 copy. Every copy added significantly increases your chance. So keep a look out for multiple copy giveaways.

It takes luck, I won my first game in the first week I joined the site (Dirt Showdown) in a public giveaway. 7 out of 11 giveaways won were public, the rest group.

I'm just curious but why this type of a thread get always most attention/comments?

It angers people to see someone new who hasn't really gave anything (plus already won) cry about not getting enough. At least that why I'm here reading.

Good question! I think because most of us can identify with it, at least a little. :)

That feeling before the first win, thinking hmm, is this fake? Is there some kind of scam going on that I just can't figure out?

And also, maybe we're hoping it's a fake complaint, so view source looking for the hidden skyrim giveaway. :)

Do like I do, I only give 1 game when I win 1 in exchange. So for each game that I win, on giveaways, I'll post another.

Keep joining giveaways like borderlands 2 with 5k entries. Try to catch 1hours giveaways, so much more chance for win.

If you want to win more, try to get into more of the private and group giveaways. Much better chances to win.

Stop complaining dude. That's how it works. I got 3,802 entries with 2 wins. What's to complain about when it's free...

At 700 entries given the current % win rate only 50% of all users would have won 'something' by 700 entries. The fact that you haven't won puts you in the latter 50% of users.

AKA THIS IS NORMAL

People have a very very very poor grasp of statistics. You can see it in the xcom threads of "OMG I missed a 90% shot the computer is cheating!!!!"

Just look at Sid's talk on Civ Rev.

Yep, all the steamgifts users (over a million i think) are just pretending to send and receive games in order to trick you. I thought that was obvious, how could you not see that right from the start?
