There's a new feature on the site, so you're now able to limit your giveaway to a particular Steam group. When creating a giveaway, select the Steam Group option, along with one of your groups. If you don't see your group on the page, you might need to sync your account. They offer a few major benefits...

  • You can safely share the link in chat rooms and on forums, without worrying about non-group members joining.
  • It's not necessary to share the link. The giveaway will automatically appear on the site, profiles, search, etc, for member in the group (thanks for the suggestion tragikos).
  • As the site grows, improved odds of winning. If you're a member of our offical group, or any other group that uses the site, you'll see these new giveaways appearing in the list, and they'll have much fewer entries than the others.

Also, Snesso suggested an option for having a giveaway apply to multiple groups. We'll try to get that setup in the future as well.

For example, here's a giveaway for Crazy Taxi, available to members of our group.

Looks like this feature isn't safe for people who got kicked from the group and didn't sync their profile yet, since one of my group giveaways has been entered by people who have recently been kicked from the group. :|

Probably need to change the error page for attempting to join a giveaway you're not a part of. Right now people see a winner of a group giveaway, they click it and see what group hosted it, which is (and already has) lead to invite begging and whatnot. The page needs to be just a generic "You don't belong to this group" thing and not giving the name and link to the group's page.
