Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires committent and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

How to join


  1. Make sure you did not violate any SteamGifts rules in the last month;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game before you start playing it and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

With the power of steamidle and alike programs, its easy to pretend you played the game ;p Plenty of my games have +2 hour gameplay although I never touched the stuff, mainly got cards from them.

True, but in the end we'll get you when you forget something.

hey, thats pretty cool stat thing. There is also a trick for achievements, unfortunately, but will not disclose it since I don't want to motivate any of your potential members to cheating ;p

Comment has been collapsed.

Thanks :) For achievements indeed there is SAM, we already kicked a few members for using it.. xD But sure, we could play a cat and mouse game with members that have bad intentions, but in the end we take as point of view that most have good intentions. Also if you manage to fool us all, there is no harm done, the truth is not always black and white for others to see besides yourself. :)

correct way of thinking. Otherwise you just overwork yourself to have people follow your rules and it becomes more of a chore than fun :)

can you put in a system to prevent leaches?

Comment has been collapsed.

It's not a ratio group, we just like to see our members really playing the games they won. As we look at the current ratio overall: we have 500 members that created 827 giveways of 494 unique games (a total of 1277 copies). I'd say we have a nice ratio. ;)

Okay fair enough. I clicked on a random user and he had 36 wins and 0 giveaways so it concerned me. I just made 10 giveaways and will make more once my other ones end

Sure, I understand your concerns. Our "top" group winner has 32 wins and of course we'll monitor them closely. Did you know you can find all these statistics also in our group tool? There you can also see which games did not got played and action was therefore taken. If you login, you can also see the status of any giveaway you won or gave away yourself :)
