giveaways

It is simple math. You entered about 100 giveaways. Assuming most of them were public with several 100 to more than 1000 entries, you are lucky to have won one GA.

Give away something for yourself, be a nice person in the forums, get in some private groups and whitelists and you will win more.

This website is a scam

Check out profiles of other people and check how many giveaways have they entered and how many wins. That way you can get the idea of entries it takes to get lucky
I have entered 20k giveaways. Won 69.
For comparison Rypten has entered roughly 3 times more GA, and has won roughly 3 times more..

Give away some keys yourself, get level. its easier to win that way. Join some groups that make GA

A guide to winning on SteamGifts, for new users

As oppenh4imer said the fact youve enter 100 and even won a game is lucky. You do just have patient. There's plenty of level 0 people with hundreds of wins but it takes time since there are 100s even 1000s of people also trying to win those games

Let's think about it.

Suppose you have roughly 480P a day.
If one game you want to play is 10P, you can apply 48.
You have won once with 100 submissions.
If you keep applying for about 3 days, you may win again.

In reality, some people may say, "There is no GA for the same game!"
In fact, a large amount of GA is created at the "immediately after Bundle sales" and "significant discounts".
It is good to apply for what you want to see when such time.

Seriously? Only 116 GAs entered and you conclude that it's impossible to win? Did you skip math in school or something?

It can feel like that. But winners are randomly generated and a lot things factor into it too.

• How active you are on entering giveaways (GA)
• What GAs/games you are entering
• If the games you enter are part of a group or groups
• How many people entered it (which can vary from like literally 0 -10,000 people)
• If the GA is through a hidden link, jigidi puzzles, etc.
• Some discussion threads/comments can sometimes have GAs too which can be missed
• Length it goes on (from 1 hour - 1 week, etc)
• Your level (but it can be surprising how many lvl 0 users win a lot)
• A lot of the times, the RNG just is not in one's favor regardless of anything imho

Personally for me, it's been like 2 months where my points are almost just at 400 everyday because I just and have always entered in games I want to play (even if can't be right now) and can't afford currently or in the future. My first ever win was in a group with 8 entries and 4 copies, it was such a cool surprise back to me, but now that I think about it, it being low entries & having multiple copies factored in. Also won a public game with almost 2,000 entries and that was a neat surprise too, so you never know what can happen. If someone isn't picky with the games, there's a lot more probability of winning (maybe).

Never expect anything honestly ~ If you (i'm saying this as a general term) don't win, then the world moves on honestly and someone else gets to experience that game and that's cool! And there's games with multiple GAs, so try to be on the look out for those. Though of course, it's understandable that it can feel 'impossible' and there's been moments too where I was like 'Aw, bummer'. But still, it's alright ☺

Some groups I'm part of and suggest to you:

• Playing Appreciated
• Unlucky7

Not a group, but focuses on the unluckies:

• GAs by user Slowacki

If you are always on SG and is very fast lol, don't be a ninja!

• Orphan keys drop thread

Ok I joined unlucky7

I think this also adds up to Why Lithuania? ahah =P
there are always many threads about these issues though, you've already been given lots of useful information and you'll get used in a few days to this awesomwe website =)

Maybe try give away games, gain level and you'll have a bigger chance to win.

I don't have any games to giveaway...

You've already won one, so clearly it's not impossible.
At your level, you're lucky to have won one after 155 entries. Just keep entering, and eventually you'll win more. Good luck.

Impossible to win? Have you seen many giveaways that has no winner? If winner is not you, it does not means it's impossible to win)

In threads there a lot of giveaways that have fewer entries
Also if you want to give a whitelist giveaway make sure you added enough people to your whitelist as you need at least 5 entries to receive CV

It does feel a bit like that at the start but it really is just RNG! You will get lucky eventually.

I found the Unlucky 7 group was amazing. They have a recruitment post here https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/orrR5/unlucky7-a-group-for-those-that-won-7-or-fewer-games

Dont give up! This site is awesome!

Of my 24 wins only 5 were public and only 3 were single key giveaways rather than 400+ copies, and all of those 3 wins were level restricted...if you want realistic odds, you should try joining some good closed off groups like Playing Appreciated for example, where not even AAA games will get 4 digit entries

If you re-create Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam then add me to whitelist.
