I have been on Steamgifts for 4 years. 0 wins. Anyone as unlucky as me? Any other similar websites out there for me to try to change my luck?

561 entries in 4 years? You need to up your game, my first win was after I hit 1,000 entries.

I think I had over 2K entries before my first win. And its easier to win if you up your level.

It's all a numbers game. Most giveaways have over 500 entries. You have to enter a ton to win. Or better yet, concentrate on lower entry giveaways like puzzles and trains created through discussions. I just won 6 games on a single train, but there were only about 30 entries on each.

I guess I am too picky about what I enter. I only enter giveaway's of games that I want

That's a good thing. The problem is that you're entering low level public giveaways, and the good stuff in those tend to get a lot of entries, so it's better to go for forum giveaways and groups.

Respect to you, then. I'd suggest having a look around the forum more often, lots of private giveaways limited to forum lurkers. And if you're helpful/nice on the forum, you also have a chance at getting whitelisted. ^^

Here's a couple of examples of these forum giveaway threads:

Yes people post something in a forum and put a link to giveaways there. Often good stuff with not many entries =).
Also there are puzzles (link may be hidden in source code of the page or otherwise concealed in a text or image). There is a nice guide how to find hidden giveaways.

Forum giveaways, forum puzzle giveaways, forum SGTools giveaways (plus filters). Groups made for unlucky ones (one is literally for people under 5 wins), public groups that have the occasional large key drops…
Although the majority of the site is made up of public giveaways under level 2 requirements, there are plenty besides those.

Yep. People often add links to invite-only giveaways in their threads. Man, you missed a lot of good stuff, including awesome events with hundreds of private giveaways per thread.

No worries. As it was said, first win around 2k entries is normal. It is not a bad thing you are picky, but you either have to be super patient or, well, put some leftover keys in to move out of the level 0-1 zone.
(but seriously, look through the forum from time to time. Even though many people use bundle games here as well, they can be really good bundle keys.)

You'd be surprised how little that helps. I've been on a week, got up to L4 and still... only one win. That one win? Drunken Wizards... when they had like 19k keys.

There aren't many giveaways at 3-4.

No, not many, but level 2+ already drops out almost 90% of the user base, so it is a help in the mathematical sense. The best odds will always be among the small giveaway groups.

Agreed. I did some math that showed that level 4 is the most conservative economical level, 5 is moderate, and six is a bigger risk, but likely to pay off.

I am at 3 years, 4,531 giveaways entered, 8 wins. So about 1 win every 566 giveaways entered. You are probably due for a win here soon. Good luck!
