I was going to link to the FAQ, but... upon reading... the FAQ doesn't actually say what to do after exactly the steps you've taken.
I believe the appropriate course of action now is to report the giveaway via the Support link. It's not likely you'll receive the game, but I believe the giver should face repercussions here.

You should contact Support so they can help you with further actions(most likely a ban will be issued to the person who made the giveaway and the giveaway will be removed. You will maybe not get the game.
PS: You could try to make an alt account on Steam and add him through that account :)

I know, it stinks. The guy that was supposed to gift me the game told me he wanted to take it from his library.
It does seem to be the honest mistake of a new user (he even complained of the fact that he still didn't win anything with <10 entries on public giveaways), but then again he appears to have unlocked 394/394 TF2's achievements in 5.2 hours, all of them at the exact same time... and with no playtime at all recorded on his game stats. Oh, well. /politeQQ
Of course I'm not going to post any name, but then again I won't be able to stop anyone from taking a look at my profile tomorrow, when I'll be able to mark the gift as not received.

Maybe he used Steam Achievement Manager or went on a Team Fortress 2 Achievement Server.

Oh, that sucks... This is my seconed time I won a giveaway here (I have entered to 254 giveaways), my first time was one day before I "won" CSS... I thing that those people (the cheaters) should get ban also from steam. If he thought that he can gift games from his library its his problem- he should read the rules and the FAQ. I have reported this user at steam and also at steamgifts and i hope that he will get banned from both services. I will be very grateful if you also will report this user at steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/danielfs1/

This user need to get banned because he cheated at a giveaway of steam gift and its may teach him to stop cheat people. I spent a lot of time and points on those 254+ giveaways that I have entered and I think that I deserve CSS. After all those giveaways that I have entered (254+!) I realize that it was a fake giveaway and this is REALLY SUCKS.
This user violated the rules of Steam and Steamgifts: He cheated a Steam user about gifts (Steam rules) and he created a fake giveaway (Steamgifts ruls). I have suffered because I spent a lot of time and points on those 254+ giveaways that I have entered and after all of this I won and I got nothing, and now I need to enter to another 254 giveaways to get maybe a little chance to win some game... Thats why those users need to get banned.

Okay, now this is getting into whining territory. These points are imaginary and it's not as if you spent hundreds of dollars on the chance to get a game. You don't deserve anything. You happened to win a game someone happened to be giving from the kindness of their heart. Yes, it didn't turn out like you thought. So? I won my first giveaway at 300 entries exactly. Some have entered in 1,000 and won nothing. Diddums. Cry harder. Deal with it. Your points will be refunded when the giveaway is deleted by the mods. You can have your imaginary cash back. Statistically, it could be another two entries or another two million before you win again. You don't deserve CSS. You won it on a site where people had out free games on a regular basis out of the kindness of their hearts. These games don't appear out of nowhere. They bought them and threw them at a stranger to enjoy. If you want to deserve CSS even a remote amount, then try giving things away yourself. You're no more likely to win, but at least it will make your pleading a little more tolerable.
Oh, and you did win a game. It's called Assassin's Creed II: Deluxe Edition. You won it in a giveaway with three thousand entries and you're whining over not getting fucking Counter-Strike?!

I tell you you're being a whiny, self-entitled brat.
"Fuck you, I can whine however much I like!"
Le sigh.
Did I mention anywhere about any potential punishment this guy was going to get? No. My problem at this point is with you. I refer you to a post I made previously on this thread. "I hate dipshits."

ehy, i'm no dipshit! i deserve to win becoz i entry more than X, and my time is worth moneh! yadda yadda.
But seriously, dude. There's no rule on Steam whatsoever that can force someone to gift someone else anything. I don't even think a first offender here would be banned, that's probably for trolls/ beggars/ flamers and the like, your guy and mine will sport a 0% feedback, which will warn others to be careful entering their giveaways. Since they did not steal anything or scam anyone, I'd say that's enough, right now.

You won 2 giveaway without the need to do anything else than a few clicks on a free website, with only 254 entries, yet you're whining?
Also, "Be considerate of all users at all times related to the site/chat, etc." Didn't you also broke the rules? Cuz "fuck you" doesn't seem very considerate...

You dont deserve shit. You did not pay for anything and this 3rd party give away site is not a reason to ban someone.
For all you know he did not know what he was doing.
Stop being so selfish the world does not revolve around you, people who dissapoint you do not deserve a penalty.
It is like saying you should be banned from this website cause you are such a cry baby

Lol.. This site is giving everyone a fair chance to win. Plus next time check his inventory and check his giveaway enteries.. David , stop acting like a mentally retarted person and be a man. Everyone gets scammed once in a while.

Wow. Hey Mr. Pot, there's someone named Kettle on line 2.
So are you a spoiled child with entitlement issues, or is English not your first language (and you also have entitlement issues)? Or, I guess you could actually be a complete idiot who is incapable of using language correctly, let alone reason out the fact that you have no right to expect anything for free in life ever.
