Issue with last giveaway winner. Helpless feeling.

Give links/keys in Steam chat in the future and make screenshots.

Edit: +ask for a reroll anyway. If there has been no suspension for his unredeemed wins, you will get the reroll, even if it has been more than a month. (At least as far as I know)

Edit 2: In case of DLCs, after some bad experiences, I send out a friend request to the winner. You can check in Steam store, if they own the DLC!

Always ask for a reroll if you find out someone didn't activate a single giveaway. I only don't file a reroll ticket if the not activated is around one or two years ago and the user won giveaways of reputable other users in the meantime. they most probably would have asked for a reroll also and were denied

Well, he cant ask for a reroll because he gave out humble bundle link ..... and current winner used the link already ---> [b]Fucked up situation[/b].
...i really hope SG support will help you and they should also ban that guy from this site.

In the next few days i'm doing 30-40game train and "thanks" to this topic i will add every user on steam, i'll give them links/keys there. :/
What a shame scumbags like that dont get banned from the site in time. :/

To my knowledge, you can contact humble and ask them to withdraw the key in question which will remove it from whatever account it was attached to. You should then request a reroll as this person obviously isn't to be trusted.

make them level 9 . . and increase it to 10 if i go to 10 or to 8 if i drop.

Thank You!

I would actually try to wait a bit. They are still in time to "find out" the key wasn't used after all. If I'm not mistaken this DLC doesn't show even if it's been activated, so, even if they traded/regifted it, they shouldn't risk a ban, while if they give you a fake "not received", they'll be calling trouble for themselves. Even if this time you didn't get enough proof, support would probably keep record.

I'd do several of those things - ask for a re-roll, use SG tools for future GAs, use a higher minimum level, and of course, don't forget to blacklist him.

As the confirmed non-reedemed games were not during the last month and I didn't want to trouble him or myself over these

Regifted or Did Not Activate Previous Wins This Month

that reroll rule means:
+ if the user has unactivated wins from the last month, and he hasn't been suspended yet, he will be suspended and you will get a reroll.
+ if the user has unactivated wins from the last month, and he has been already suspended yet, you will get a reroll.
+ if the user has unactivated wins, and he hasn't been suspended yet, he will be suspended and you will get a reroll.
- if the user has unactivated wins, and he has been already suspended yet, you won't get a reroll.

so, always ask for rerolls. support replies very fast to these tickets.

don't ask for reroll. if someone else have the link, do not risk use it again because you're not the only one who have the link anymore.
once the link or key is delivered, you have no control of it... anyone who have the link can redeem the game any time.
open a ticket (after 7 days ga finish) and ask for support to check as received and show them what you done so far, such as:

1. have the link on your hb account.
2. that same link was sent via steamgifts.
3. you tried to contact winner.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Much appreciated. =)

I'm new here, but ... There are several security flaws could say. Activation of games won should be a strict rule.

• It's as easy as block access to the GA for a week, if it detects that a game won has not yet been activated.
• Synchronization should be enforced in every connection to steamgift or every 12 hours.

I think it prevents the regifted, traded, sold, multi win, outdated data, private profiles, among other things

Always ask for a reroll in such cases. That last month thingy comes only into play when they have already served their punishment. If you find somebody with unactivated wins half a year (or longer) ago but nobbody has reported the person the giveaway will be rerolled and the user will have to serve his punishment. Only if the punishment has been served already, but the infraction just happened you will be granted a reroll regardless.
Other than that I am sorry, sounds like a tiresome experience I'd wish nobody to go through :(
Hope you'll get it all sorted out.

I need the option "all of the above"
Lvl 2 or 3 you wouldn't have any problem (99%) fake statistics
Sgtools it's a great option to stop regifters and a**holes
And a reroll before sending the key would be a good idea

Ask for help with support, and good luck :)

did he add the game to his account? if he didnt do even that when he got the game it would also be a suspension for him as well

Ask humble to revoke the key (theft) and issue a new one. They can do that. At the very least revoke the key. Don't let him game the system. Report to support, and move on. I've never had something like this happen to me, but I'd be pretty upset- I have a perfect received ratio, and I don't want anyone screwing it up unless it's my fault.

That guy is disgusting. I'm sorry

I just made a giveaway and put the humble bundle link in it, now I'm extra paranoid :p

People like that are sad and disgusting to boot.
It really makes those of us that like gifting paranoid.

Sorry you got the bad luck to encounter such an individual.

Gift links display the email that redeemed the game, so you can use it as proof to request a forced received by support, and also to report him for unactivated game and hopefully (perma)suspend him.

I feel you though, I'm having a nine-day fiasco with a Russian guy who refuses to make any contact, didn't redeem the gift link, but marked it as non-received yet blocks all forms of communication. Dealing with low-levels can be a chore sometimes, sadly.
