I mean I guess its bug, The key the giveaway creator have given me is the key for "Dead Inside" game it says in site but its not able to use I mean the code itself is not true, and the creator of the giveaway blacklisted me in the giveaway post so that I can't say that.

Not a bug, has very easy solution. Wait 7 days, mark as not received.

Try to add the giveaway creator on Steam.
If you can not establish contact, mark the giveaway as "not received" after 7 days.

But the thing is : the GA creator is supposed to have sent it, so we are not in the case you mentioned...

Sorry, OP's grammar is a bit hard to follow; you're correct.

I do agree with you on this ^^ It's weird for a canadian... (except if he is from Quebec :P)

I understood the OP in a way that he(she received a key, that is not working.

I thought that trying to establish contact early in such a case would be the prefered way, but I am not sure.

Sending an "Other" ticket is always a possibility.

That may be the best approach to take when the GA creator has indicated contact isn't welcome; that said, I did misinterpret the OP, so don't mind my earlier comment too much. :)

I have to admit, I think I never used "Other" for that purpose, so I usually will not think of suggesting it.
Have a nice day!

Sorry if I don't understand it correctly but if the giveaway creator provides a key that is invalid or for another game, mark the game as "not received" and try to contact him. If he blacklisted you and you cannot contact him anymore there is really not a lot you can do as far as I know.
If you tried to activate it and the creator doesn't provide you with a working key it's not your fault, you just won't be getting your game.

Really no benefit to the person to do it on purpose, far more likely just a mistake, copied the wrong code or something. It does further highlight how stupid it is for people to blacklist winners immediately though.

It was not hard to find the GA, I left a message for you there.

You probably should have also reminded him to read the rules.

Not everyone enters AAA or high point GA's all the time. Some enter low, 1-5 point, GA's.

I believe he think OP is using a bot.
I think it's worse that, having won 40 games, he didn't say "thank you" once.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can see it. I have 22.5K in just over a year. All manual, I'm not a bot.... (or am i)... and its a mix of both low and high point games. I rarely have 300 points but I don't worry about using them up either. I used to make sure I had 0 points when I went to bed. Thank goodness I'm over that phase. :) Mostly....

That sounds like what a bot would say.

Did you make sure to copy just the key part if it's a steam key? AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC
I once had an extra character at the end of a key and the winner couldn't tell and thought the key was bad.
If it's a humble bundle link or something else you don't just put it into the steam redemption interface.

Honestly - look at that game. I'd rather have the SG points back than play that asset flipped POS.
