It is nice that you contribute and it increases your chances to win (in contributer giveaways). Anyways, you should not enter these 50$ giveaways, because chances to win are low in these. Also, try to enter more giveaways- I won my first with 400 entered

Actually, it never hurts to enter some of the big ones, because someone has to win it, and it just might be you. My first big win was for the full version of Fallout (which had been on my wishlist for over a year by that time); there were just over 4,000 entries, so my chances of winning were minuscule.
I've gotten pretty good results by just checking in once every few days, signing up for a few items that interest me, and then not worrying about it. Over the past two years, I've entered almost 4,400 drawings, and won seven.

+1 to HeroForge. You shall enter big GAs but keep in mind that the chance of winning it it is much lower. I once won a giveaway with over 3000 entries, but unfortunately it was fake :(

I know that feelling, bro. I once won Bioshock Infinite with 3000 entries and got no game!

It's really unfair, I never win! :(
1,6k Entries already and I won only 6 games, all public ones. Not fair for that entries...
Now to be serious, you only joined like 260 giveaways in more than a year of time, are you really serious? 260 is like nothing.

Enter more giveaways; look at the number of entrants, and that will give you an idea how likely you are to win. I didn't win for a long time, then I won, then I didn't win for a long time, then I think I won 2 pretty close to each other. It is just odds.

Every time someone asks this question, which is multiple times a week, an angel loses its wings. :(

You entered 278 giveaways and you've been a memember of the site for 1 year.
I've been a member for 1 year, won 13 games but entered 8578 giveaways.
I think you get the picture. To win games on this site you need to work for them. I visit the site every single day. I use Steamgifts Plus to filter out games I don't want. I never enter giveaways that could be a scam or have over 3000 entries.

I'm here for 2 weeks(my profile says that I've joined 4 months ago, but I wasn't able to participate the giveaways because of the price of my Steam account)and I've entered in 140+ giveaways, and I only won one, for a crappy game called Roogoo. I need to recharge my good karma fill to be worthy to win a good game :P

Statistically you won't win many. If there are only 100 entries (extremely rare) you only have a 1% chance of winning. 500 entries (an average amount of entries) you have 0.5% chance. In 1000 entries your odds are 0.1%. In big entries for big name games it's easily 5,000 entries and your odds are 0.05%. I've won two giveaways, one was a developer giveaway of Dwarfs! and there were so many he was giving away it was like between 25-50% chance of winning. The other one I think was a late night giveaway that someone set for an hour, so it was a quick giveaway during a slow time. Your best chance is to check often and try to find one hour giveaways, and times like the middle of the night can also get you better odds. So if you are here to get free games quickly, you are better to save up six bucks and buy a bundle on one of the bundle sites like humble bundle, bundle stars, indie gala, etc. If you are willing to put in about 10 minutes a day you will eventually win something, but like I said the odds are very low.

Don't go in expecting a win. I never expect to see a win and I'm always right. That way you won't be disappointed when you lose.

I've been here for a bit and put up about 7 or 8 giveaways and still have not been fortunate enough to win a single one. How many of you haven't felt the love yet either?
