Suffering from Success :(

my tactic?
join GA's for things I am interested in and watch as my points frequently cap out.

hides the growing thorn of bought bundles

Several of your giveaways seem, like they have been bundled or sold on very high discounts on 3rd party websites. Please don't be too surprised if your level drops in the future as their contribution value gets adjusted to reduced or zero.

For me, this really helps.

This is number of games that i have on my hide list....

Best is not joining them at all. If you can't win, you can't either lose and be dissapointed.

It's simple: You buy all the games you want, so Steamgifts has nothing left to offer to you.🤔😁

Haters gonna hate, skaters gonna skate. Funny how they don't backdate CV for 10 years ago so everyone can join the Sisyphus style fun. I try to stick to things I might actually enjoy but I can enjoy playing most things so eh. I've gotten a pretty large selection now so I may slow it down and watch the fire as it burns.

This is impressive. Every single giveaway of yours (except for Crumble and maybe UpWorld - Multiplayer?) is from a mass giveaway and you are level 4. Elysium Restaurant which was given away on key-hub like more than a month ago contributes a whopping 4x 17 of your real CV.

I'd like to say that you will be back to level 1 soon but with how slow the mods have been lately you can probably keep ahead of the backlog indefinitely by giving away keys from mass giveaways continuously.

This helps!
I see between 0 and 2 games most of the time, now I see more since the last Humble Choice actually has a game I want, else I would see 0 again. I only join for games I have wishlisted and am very picky!

I only join giveaways for games I definitely want to play. That's the sum total of my strategy. :)

Tactic?
Well I filter out games of lesser points (<5) as the page is crowded with too many not so riveting games🙃. And then I also filter out games with less than 1% chance. So am left with manageable and not so overwhelming GA page.
Also the fact that I hide a lot of games, keeps it light as well.
And then I enter for stuff I see myself playing in the near future(say 1, 1.5 years). If not, then Hide! Hide! Hide!
Ex: In this login session, I saw 7 games on my GA page, hid 6 of those, entered non. So I rarely have any struggles with points. If I do, I'll rethink about the ones I had previously entered.

That is my entire GA thought process, I probably should tune it more so that I enter even less than I currently do! But its a work in process.

Not anymore buddy ahaha

Yeah i don't have a 'tactic' my man, i'm new at this but i do consider myself just an average joe gamer and i enter giveaways for the games that i wanna play, that's about it. I ain't lookin for all the angles, just to roll the dice and win a nice prize.

I had the opposite problem. When I first joined, I entered a lot of expensive GAs for things that I had almost no chance of winning. I have won two GAs with 1000:1 or worse odds, but most of my wins are from GAs with much better odds. Now I only enter low chance GAs if they're low cost, or I really like the game.

If I don't have enough points to join all available giveaways I filter them by number of entries, for example:
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?q=&entry_max=50
This might give a better win chance, but you'll probably see a lot of giveaways ending in a week and they end up getting more entries right before ending.
Another thing is that public giveaways get a lot of entries so the winning chance goes down quickly, so joining some private giveaway group can noticeably improve your win rates, but even giveaways from public groups like https://steamcommunity.com/groups/dgikinw or https://steamcommunity.com/groups/lootboy_sg tend to get less entries than public giveaways.

Wait until you're level 10, then you'll have so many points left over that you'll never run out!

I only join games I specifically wish to play, and I hide games I have zero interest in ever playing. This way I still get surprised by new titles I'm not aware of but I don't spread myself too thin.
