2+ * [X giveaway (1 copy)] vs. X giveaway (2+ copies), assuming they have the same duration.

Enter giveaway with 2+ copies ---> spend less points than entering multiple ones ---> higher chance to win per point ratio (?)

Discuss, I'd like to know your thoughts.

Plus, a little gift for you, badass forum contributors. <3

I like multiple copy giveaways, for the same reason you mentioned (more entries per point)

Well it's true that you get more value out of your points with multiple copy giveaways. But to be honest I seldom are on a shortage of those so I do not really mind.

I honestly don't know. Does it roll both copies at once, or does it roll one then another? o.O

I'm pretty sure they roll them sequentially. Otherwise, wouldn't there be a chance that someone might win multiple copies?

well if it rolls 1 than the other, they simply remove the previous winner as a choice, or reroll it immediately if same person is chosen twice.

The former method is what I meant as sequentially. The latter seems too process intensive if there are a large number of giveaway copies.

Well the algorithm could just separate all the participants of the giveaway into different divisions. Then from each division, pick a winner for each copy. So it's possible.

I like them more for the exact reason you mentioned - potentially higher chance to win per point spent

It's not that much better of a chance than separate giveaways for the same game. It does, however, eliminate the chance that one person will win multiple copies.

It might actually make your odds worse, since the point value won't be higher, so more people will be able to enter.
