So, I've been entering giveaways for the past few months, over 5000 giveaways(I think) and didn't win anything yet, which is okay! but I saw my stats and for some reason my probabilities of winning any giveaway is 0,00%, am I banned or something? :/

what's the average number of entries for the giveaways you enter ?
if that's more than 500, chance of winning drops to below 0.005 so it gets rounded down to 0.

Ooh...They're all above 2000 entries, some reaching 10,000 entries...

That might be the reason then, fair enough! :P

Yes - entering for only wishlisted games will make wins more scarce, but it will feel so much better ^^

No, that's not right. It's only minus one entry for every additional copy of the game. It's essentially doing 100 giveaways at the same time, but making sure no one wins twice. Using your example, your chance of winning

1st copy: 1 in 100,000
2nd copy: 1 in 99,999
3rd copy: 1 in 99,998
4th copy: 1 in 99,997
and so on until...
100th copy: 1 in 99,900

And I misread. I thought you wrote 100,000 when you wrote 10,000. ;)

Do some more giveaways to raise your level if you can and you will be able to enter giveaways that have higher level requirements and fewer entries, thereby increasing your chances of winning. Also, you can enter groups on steam that do giveaways and browse forums for invite-only giveaways. At level 1, I imagine, most people's odds are low. It's just the way this site works and I am ok with that. You give more to win more ;-)

It's just random statistical bullshit. You will eventually win. Hopefully.

It just means that you enter giveaways with a high amount of entries, probably only public giveaways, and the chances of winning such a giveaway are very, very slim.
Besides, like someone mentioned already, 7 wins isn't "not anything"...

Your probabilities of winning is 0% today probably because none of the giveaways that you entered ends today.

Oh, it's not only about today? I just checked the image. Then probably you only enter only a few giveaways and these giveaways have a very high number of entries.

There are some graphs under that part, it shows you how everything adds up, each month I believe it is the percentage to win resets to 1% if you win a game it goes lower, however if you give a game away this percentage to win one becomes higher, therefore if you're what is known as a 'leach' (which isn't necessarily a bad thing. people just bitch about it because they love seeing other peoples thank you's fill their comment section) you will only be winning 1 or 2 games every month I believe.

Giving away games doesn't give better odds in giveaways, all entries have an equal chance of winning. You simply get access to level restricted giveaways, which have less potential entrants.
Winning a game doesn't decrease your odds in future giveaways either.

No wonder, even if caught late, create thread to complain about wins, and end up bringing attention to the fact they hadn't even activated 3/7 of their wins...

want to eliminate some arrogance? How about removing your arrogant entitlement shown here by making up for your mistake then? GA Creator sent you a gift. You didn't activate it. Then be fair and square, buy the game you didn't activate and activate it. Or maybe I guess not, because it's fine to be arrogant as long as you're the one who is, but you will enter rage mode the very second someone turns "arrogant" toewards you...

Being here for only two months isn't really an excuse for not reading and obeying the basic site rules. Just because you try to spin it around in an attempted self-victimising way won't change that either. There is a saying in one form or another in most languages that usually is a variation of "if you shit in the open, at least don't yell about it". Same here. If you wouldn't have tried to force a confrontation with ChibiRobo about pointing out rule-breakers, most likely nobody would have given a damn to check you for the same thing.

To be honest, I don't really care about the same thing... at the time I was fairly new, tough shit, we all make mistakes, but then you have these people bitching about it like I'm some kind of criminal, the guy could have simply given him the answer that he has possibly been suspended, instead of trying to cause problems for self glorified reasons...

It makes me wonder... lol

If a Slowpoke evolves into a Slowbro by having a Shellder bite onto its tail...
What happens if another Slowpoke bites onto the tail instead? SlowSlowPokePoke? Lol...

And what if its a Cloister that bites onto the tail? Or... a Charizard?! Charipoke? Charbro?
I actually went to look up an image. lol

Join invite-only giveaways that you find through discussion boards here on Steamgifts. Join groups on Steam and resync your account over here to see any private giveaways for those groups.

You're going to have a hard time winning a game with 1,000 other people all vying for it in a public giveaway.

Non activation of 3 games that you won? You don't deserve to win anything else anyway. Good to see that they suspended you quickly.
