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.

Final notes


More information and a FAQ is available via the Steam group. Current group giveaways can be found here on SteamGifts. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!

Hi Ninjaofquest, we are currently in the process of clearing out all our old join requests on Steam and I came across yours. I would like to know if you would still be interested to join the group?
If I won't get a reply in a week I will simply decline the request, but you would still be welcome to join at a later time.

Hi BlackDawnSteam, your profile went to private while one of the group rules is that you need to have a public profile. Please change it back to public at your earliest convenience if you like to remain part of the group. Please understand that this is needed in order to check if you are playing the games you win in this group.

Hi. I thought I could set privacy to friends only at least when there are no group wins. That's how the profile is usually set. I changed to public.

I'll apply when I finish my current wins. Hahah.

Feel free to join anytime ^^ Just don't join any group giveaways then unless you can play the game within a month of winning :)

I may be interested in giving a few games to the group that I wish to see played. If you don't mind me asking, is it allowed for giveaway creators to make custom requests on their giveaways such as "If you win this, within a month, you need to post a few screenshots as comments on the giveaway page and write a sentence or 2 about what you think of the game."?

Hey :) You are free to ask anything course, but you'll have to enforce these custom requests yourself if the winners don't do them (e.g. by blacklisting the winner). Group actions will be taken only if the winner does not play the game within a month or does not have a public profile anymore.

Hey, love the idea and would love to join! I must say though that I can't create any giveaways this month at least, and even after that I'm not sure just how often I can do it, but I'll try to keep my group won/sent ration positive at the very least and won't enter for anything before contributing so if that's okay with you, please let me know!

Oh but that's more than okay! You are not required to make giveaways, just play the games that you won within a month of winning a group giveaway :) Only when you have games yourself that you like to see people play and not just add to their library, then you can make a giveaway for the group if you like. Invitation send!

rather interested in joining..., have a bunch of games yet to play that sorta require for someone else to play the game with me.
if creating a giveaway to those games, helps me find a partner who plays with me...., then its bound to be worth it...
