AMD promo codes are fine. Basically a reasonable time-frame is whatever you want it to be. Most of the exploited games don't even have options to create giveaways for.

The list of codes that are considered exploited are actually pretty old. The most recent are probably the Ubisoft keys (Babel Rising, and w/e) and Metro 2033. The rest are okay to put up since it has been over a year or so, and a decent timeframe is usually 1 day ~ 1 hour. Up to you.
And about your AMD question, if the key is steam redeemable then you should be allowed to use it on this site (NOTE: This means ONLY Steam Redeemable. No Origin, UPlay, Desura, etc.

Thanks all! Just given away my first code, waiting for two other winners to respond to my emails to confirm they still use the listed email addresses. This probably sounds lame but it feels kinda cool ^^.
And yes, my keys are Steam (hey, I do know the name of the site I'm on :p).

I'd like to apologise for all the people who linked to or copypasted the faq. Many of our users are blind and can only read titles, due to a blind spot that covers most of their vision.

Is it the same blind spot that causes people to "accidentally" click through the game list, choose a start and end time, ignore / not see the "Contributor limit" and "Description" fields, then click "Create Giveaway" once, wait for the confirmation page, then click "Confirmed! Create my giveaway!", when they aren't intending to give anything away?
I think the two are related.

Studies show the two are very similar, and may be caused by the tl;dr gene, although not much is known about the gene due to its length and the boredom it causes.

Hi I have a few codes to give away, but I can't seem to find the rules that stipulate what games are banned. Could someone help me? I've just found the list of compromised codes in the FAQ, but not sure if that's the whole list.
Also what's the deal with promotional bundle codes? I have 3 individual codes for full retail games from an AMD promotion, are those allowed?
Finally what's a reasonable time-frame for a giveaway?
Thanks all!
