You get a little green bar up at the top of the Steam Gifts homepage that looks like this It also mentions this in the FAQ, I believe. ^^
As for what I've won, my last one was Crazy Machines. It's a really fun puzzle game. Reminds me of some of my favorites that came on a shareware disk that I got years ago. And I believe my first win was after about 1,500 entries, and after a month or so on this site. It was Terraria, which was also my first giveaway here. And the first win of person who won it, too! :)
ETA Oh lord, that FAQ page. Cult's avatar kicks me right in the nostalgic feels every time that I see it. *
Wanders off to play Anachronox for a bit*

Multiwinia yesterday :) I wasn't entirely sure what this game was about, so I headed for its' Steam page. One friend recommends it... "This is like mario kart but where you control people and make them fight instead of racing and there are no marios in it."

I recently won the Galactic Arms Race giveaway that had 25k copies to be won. Pity those people who entered but didn't win.
I tried the game but a bit lost as to what to do in that game. It still needs a bit polishing up to do in terms of UI.

that giveaway is famous, sometimes i turn in the other people's profile and and i see that game.
25k copies won and 29k entries... at that time i had just joined this site but i didn't enter in the contest (too many people and i didn't want to lower the chances of winning to the other people)

I won Civ V GotY earlier today. Hopefully can get around to it soon, but datacaps prevent me from downloading much stuff, so could be a while.

And now I won a giveaway for Darksiders 2 DLC. 20 wins on my account, and I can't create a giveaway to celebrate.

You get that little vein that pops out in your head and says hey you won! Which makes a green bar pop up on the site also notifying you happily, recently I won Fable 3!
Comment has been collapsed.
As others have said, a green bar appears that's hard to miss. Although my steamgifts is glitched or something because I always have a green bar that turns blue once the page finishes loading...
I won Just Cause 2 a few days ago which was totally unexpected, and I love it so far!

The blue bar is from an 3rd party addon, which comes into effect once the page is loaded.

Just don´t loose hope, you will see it one day :) I got my first win after a bit over 1000 entries and been awefully lucky since then. You can also look at the "estimated wins" on your profile, wich is an indicator on how lucky/unlucky you really are ^^ Right now it says you statisticaly "should" have won 0.49 games, so if you win one right now, it would mean that you are VERY lucky ;)
It is also a good idea to check the forums regulary, because a lot of people post hidden- and puzzle-giveaways. There wont be as many entries as in the public giveaways, leaving you with a much higher winning-chance.

Thank you so much for this reply, i really like it! Ok, i won't lose hope and i'll keep trying!
Anyway i like enter in the contest even if i lose, it is still funny and i really like the community of this site :)

Won for the first time after around 400 entries, and that was Two Worlds II: Velvet Edition. Most recent was some Magicka DLC.
Also, keep in mind that the green bar doesn't show on the forum page, only giveaway pages. That can throw you a bit if you check forums first.

Lucky one! Thanks for the tip and congratulation for the winning
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that first one was kinda nice! I'm sure you'll win one soon enough, best tip anyone can give is to just keep on entering. Probability shows that the more you enter, the more you have a chance to win! I also admit I tend to prefer less popular games so my chances are often better.

Haven't won anything very recently. I enter every single Bioshock 2 and Deponia giveaway, but naturally, haven't won either.
Good luck.

Thank you, bioshock 2 is a good game (except for the GFWL save service)

Does arrive an email or something? A notification on the site?
-Talk us about your most recent victory and after how many attempts you've won a game
Or also, if you haven't win yet, talk to us about your entries and what you want to win
(I mostly enter in bioshock/deus ex/hitman/cave story+ / twin sector giveaways)
