A game is Already in Collection

Probably something that was already covered before... So, there's a promotion for Civ VI atm and I signed up and now this site accepts that I already own the game and doesn't let me to enter GA for this game. Any suggestions to overcome this?

You can't enter giveaways for games you already have on your Steam account.

Nope. SG allows one account per person, and only to win games that one account doesn't already have.

You'll have to wait until the promotion is over and then synch your Steamgifts account (click on Account in the upper right corner). Afterwards you should be able to enter those gibs again.

Alternatively you can remove "Sid Meier's Civilization VI Free Weekend - Feb 2018" (244708)" from your account via Help ---> Steam Support --> Game --> Select game --> permanently remove and then synch your SG account.

If simply uninstalling doesn't work you can try permanently deleting the game from your account via support.

Do free weekends add licences ?

It activates "Sid Meier's Civilization VI Free Weekend - Feb 2018" (244708) [can't find license id on steamdb]

This seems to work (tried it - activated and removed)

You haven't said what promotion the game has - people referred giveaways as promotions as well before.
And now that you clarified it - all you can do is wait until the free to play weekend passes and then manually sync your account at https://www.steamgifts.com/account/settings/profile.

Delete it here and resync your account here on SteamGifts.

Thanks. For responses and help. I'll act accordingly. As for future posts I'll try to be more specific in describing my issue to avoid ambiguity. And I'm sorry for my snap response.
