Well, Humble can ban you if you're giving too much gifts in some time. However for person who redeems it, then there are no penalties of course.

Humble Bundle does allow gifting to your friends, but they consider SteamGifts a trading site and will ban people who use gift links here. I'm not sure I've seen anyone claim to have been banned for receiving too many gift links, usually for giving them out, but it sounds like this person already has a warning on their account and doesn't want to risk it.
When i give away HB games, I click the gift link to view the region restrictions, then close that window and grab the key since Humble can't tell who activated a key, like they can with a gift link.

When you first click the option to create a gift link it will tell you the region restrictions, if any. If it says nothing, there are no restrictions. It does not tell you about region restrictions if you choose to reveal the key, which is why I recommend clicking the gift link first to write down the region restrictions, then closing the window and then clicking the reveal key button and using that for your giveaway. Also, if you are purchasing from a large bundle, there will usually be a thread in these forums that lists all the region restrictions.

I kinda understand you, but the right choice / gold standard is just to send a steam key. Everything else is just bonus or even more complicated, i mean the site is called "steam"gifts, so you can't force people to use Humble Bundle to redeem their steam key.

not a valid reason for a reroll.
they aren't rejecting the gift, they just want it as a key to protect their HB account
and to be fair all gifters here should just send keys to protect their own HB accounts(save gift links for gifts to actual friends and secret santas)

I'm with the recipient here, it's a topic that's been discussed previously:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/D0WX8/just-a-heads-up-about-giftlinks-from-humble-bundle
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/5cxaE/psa-if-you-are-giftingtrading-humble-bundle-games-dont-use-giftlinks-anymore
Long story short, Humble Bundle doesn't like people trading games AND they don't like people giving games away. They have, at times, fully banned users from their platform for doing so... And every single time, they've realized that this was happening because they are able to track where their giftlinks are going. But they're not able to track where their keys are going.
Therefore, keys are safer for everybody!

Hi,
I have a winner who does not want to accept a HumbleBundle Gift Link and insists i open it and send the Steam Key directly.
This feels totally off to me and I'm wondering what could be the cause for this.
They claim that HumbleBundle does not allow gifting and they got a warning from them...
Am i missing something here?
