An idea to make this somewhat more fair.

That makes it less fair.

No.

Everyone has an equal chance to win every giveaway. This will never change.

Putting any sort of handicap system on a complete random, completely fair giveaway makes it unfair by definition.

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD <- lol, in case you haven't figured it out yet

no man.

How about the more giveaways a person makes, the higher chance they get to win something back? How do you feel about that idea?
Yah, somehow don't think you'd go for something like that.

What about being able to let people who have won X or fewer giveaways to enter as an option? BUT who would want that

Funny you say that, everyone has the same chances of winning according to the giveaway itself.
If that's not fair, then i don't know what is.

That's the stupidest fucking idea ever. Random is the fairest possible system. Also..."more fair"? Where did you learn English? The correct form is "fairer" cause it's a short adjective... You can call me a grammar nazi, but just say "more fair" out loud. Does it sound alright to you?

It would be "fair" in some terms but, Giving those who don't win as much will make the system sort of unbalanced. And as Carmah was saying those who contribute should be able to win more as well. its hard to make a standard ground for both of these arguments so its best to leave the system as it is. it has served well so far and the point of a raffle is no one gets any advantage, its just plain luck.

so, you want to change fair chance of winning to somewhat fair chance (witch is not fair at all) ?

That would make the whole thing kind of unfair. It's based on luck and it should stay like that. Stop trying to be smart.

Well, as far as coding, it should not be a problem, but the thing is, the site ONLY calculates your ratios, but that does not have anything to do with the giveaway itself or how the winner is calculated. Its random.

The person with a low ratio will always have the same odds of winning that one with a high ratio, that is as fair as it can be, allowing people with lower ratios to win more often is not fair at all and you will make a mess. Let me explain.

As it is current, most users enter only to the giveaways they are interested, which means lower entries to the majority of the giveaways, this users would have a high ratio in your system, due to lower entrances, thus, they would have less chances to win the game that they actually want.

Having said that, they would have to spam entrances in games that they are not interested in, (Lowering the odds of ALL the users in the site due to massive entries) just to keep a low ratio, and eventually, they will most likely win a game that they DO NOT want.

So yeah, that mess up everything, and no, i dont want that.

Interesting... I somehow deleted my comment.
Oh god how I hate mobile.
Something about fair and not meaning what op thinks.

Website calculates ESTIMATED wins: the more people in a giveaway, the less chance per individual. Obviously, public giveaways will usually have a big number of entries.
You want a bigger ratio ? You can solve puzzles, or even better: enter a private giveaway group. It is very easy as long as you are nice to others on the forum, and, of course, as you are an active contributor creating giveaways. Nobody wants to feed a leecher...

So randomly choosing people is unfair? How come? It's purely based on chance, it's the most fair way to choose a winner, it takes nothing in account, everybody has the same odds.

The only 'fair' way I can see is to allow me to win everything I enter. That way, once I have won, I sync the account and cannot win the same thing again, meaning you have a better chance next time.

It is already fair, you can't make it fairer

People really have a hard time differentiating between fairness and equality (I really hope those are the right translations for the words I mean...).

How about...giving every Game to me? Then you could shut down the Servers, save Money and energy, you wouldn't have to worry about giveaways you entered, because there are no giveaways to enter and I would be happy to have that much games I'll never play. Isn't that a great idea? I guess...no. How about..leaving the system how it is?

While I appreciate that you're trying to make it so that people with fewer wins are more likely to get picked, that would open up a gigantic loophole in the form using throw-away accounts to fish for quicker wins.

It is far simpler to have have every entry be completely equal.

Wait, think about it though. If this happens, people will stop entering every little giveaway that pops up in fear of decreasing their chance. So people are more likely to only enter giveaways they really want... Who am i kidding no one will read the rule and everyone will just continue to the same thing.
Still, it is not fair as the chances for everyone is not equal.

That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life.

Okay. So... What I take away from the whole OP:
"Hi SG, my name is Chrisc44890. I have been registered here for 6 months, entered less than 500 giveaways, and haven't gotten a free game yet. I've basically never participated in the community at all, have given absolutely nothing to it, even just in chatting with people on the forums. I do, however, still feel absolutely owed something from it. As such, I have this fantastic idea that would help guarantee I will leech free games from you. How do you like my totally fair idea guys?"

Piss off.
