Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that currently it's just a sum of winning chance across all GAs ending on one day.
In this case entering 20 GAs with 0,05 (5%) chance of winning will show as 100% Probability of Winning Per Day
And that's not true, 20 GAs with 5% chance won't guarantee a win (which is what 100% probability means).
I'm correcting, that's wrong. It looks like your math is really bad. It's not calculated that way in general, it's not calculated that way in this site.

You're incorrect, the site already works the way you're requesting. If you're entered into two giveaways, each with a 50% chance of winning, the site would say the probability of winning is 75%. If the site says you have a 100% chance of winning, you're guaranteed to win. The exceptions would be...

Why would you assume the probability of winning one giveaway affects the probability of winning another GA?
Also apart from that: looking at the calculations, they wouldn't be correct I'm afraid. Nor would it be better than the current system.

I don't, I only count how the probability of winning each one giveaway affects the probability of winning anything on a particular day.

Can you explain why? I based my logic on the Multiplication Rule, roughly explained here: https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/probability-events-independent.html

I've been entering a couple of low entry count GAs, and I believe Probability of Winning per Day (PoWpD) often overestimated.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that currently it's just a sum of winning chance across all GAs ending on one day.
In this case entering 20 GAs with 0,05 (5%) chance of winning will show as 100% Probability of Winning Per Day
And that's not true, 20 GAs with 5% chance won't guarantee a win (which is what 100% probability means).
A more accurate way to calculate PoWpD would be to calculate daily chance of not winning anything and subtracting it from 1:
PoWpD - daily probability of winning any one gift
PW_n - probality of winning GA number n
PoWpD = 1 - ( (1-PW_1) x (1-PW_2) x (1-PW_3) x ... x (1-PW_n) ) x 100%
So for my example above it would be:
(1- (0,95 x 0,95 x 0,95 x ...0,95)) x 100%= (1-0,95^20) x 100% = (1-0,3565) x 100%= 64,15%
