I won Monday Night Combat on GalaGiveaways and the user sent me Super Monday Night Combat which in case you don't know is free to play and a totally different game. I message them and informed them in case it was a mistake, they apologized and offered me a Multiwinia key to give him positive feedback. I declined as I already had the game and wouldn't want to break the rules anyway. Then I receive this e-mail from GalaGiveaways Support threatening to suspend me for apparently insulting the user and lying.

Here is the conversation between the user and myself where I was supposedly insulting him and lying about receiving the incorrect gift.

Here are the e-mails that I received from GalaGiveaway Support in which you can tell they truly are professionals! When I tried to go to GalaGiveaways I realized I was banned and when I inquired as to why, this is the conversation that followed.

GalaGiveaways is seriously horrible! I made 2 giveaways, the 2nd winner gave me a negative feedback after I gave him the game!! -_-
After I wrote a big fat email to support and they changed it to positive feedback! No questions asked or anything, I was like "lool?!"

Send them an email letting them know that they're now officially banned from your super-awesome secret club, because some dude said they were liars, too.

I would like to see Mister Free 2 Play game be banned from Galagiveaways. Giving away free to play games is just horrible.

how do the starting point stores work anyway?

Comment has been collapsed.

They have this weird system where your starting points are based on the value on your account. In other words, more games you have, more points you start with.

You really think it'd be the opposite really...

"Have a lot of games? Well! Now you can have a chance to win even more!"

"Have little games? Aww well that sucks, you should own more games."

I seriously want to know who's idea for that system was... it's terrible.

Instead, why not just email Gala support and tell them you think they're doing a shitty job.

So basically, they banned you without any fact checking when the other guy complained. Unbanned you when you explained the situation (without asking for any proof). Then banned you again for exposing their shady way of handling support requests.

And to think it took me a week and a couple of emails (with proof) to get a feedback corrected after the guy mistakenly clicked not received. At least they're getting speedier.

lol Gala is failing since the moment I entered. (that was around January)
now they are even supporting Desura games... not to mention their point system is stupid too.
tho I do have to say that I won borderlands game of the year edition on that site... but never had any news from there since then.

I don't think there's anything bad about supporting Desura games, there are real gems on there too, but it should be easier to filter them out for those who aren't interested in them. I don't use Desura much so I'm not gonna enter for games I will not remember I have on there later on.

Desura games are the one reason I liked GalaGiveaways. They were usually real cheap and had hardly any people entering.

The only reason I don't like desura games is that I don't want to install another platform. Origin and Steam is kind of too much for me already

Desura is great. You can still install and play games without ever installing their client.

hey galagiveaways

please give up and stop pretending that your site isnt anything more than a load of shit trying to garner some attention. Hire someone that'll make the site look better than an aborted dog baby at the very least.

To OP you should start this thread on steam forums. So it would be big news for Valve Employees to take further actions!

I remember you because you've been using that default avatar and have made awesome giveaways in little time since you've joined. You probably never heard of me, i know.

I usually comment in forums and already made a few giveaways to forums.

I like to bump threads even their content is barely useless just to reply to awesome people with blue avatars.

In the beggining when i joined i just said a few thanks and just kept entering giveaways, now i usually comment giveaways i join from groups and stuff and also like to see the threads around there in the forums, sometimes they have surprises inside :P

Just never thought of giving away so much, it makes me feel awesome!

Wise. It's a three week suspension from me for ref links now. For the first offence. About anything, ref related or not. If it's the second offence, it's permanent. And I don't know Gameminer ref links well enough to distinguish between real and fake ones.
