It's still better than winning the Steam winter sale.

I actually won a game here after spending about 200 points on adding myself to games I'd like to own (basically two days worth of points).

Maybe I was lucky, maybe it was karma for gifting a game on this site (planning to offer more)... I don't know.

2 months ago I won my first game here. Just this week, I won 2 more games. One of the 2 was a slightly less popular quickie tho..
I'm at 771 entries, so I guess I am slightly luckier than these statistics.

InTraining, how do you know if you won a giveaway?

Do you receive a notification on the "View Won" tab? I was wondering about that, since not even the FAQ explains that. It's probably that, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the help!

This website will have a notification stating you won, you will also get a email, and if the gifter is faster than you it will already be in your email as well. And, since the new updated Steam, if your gifter is faster than you, your gift will be sitting in the message box section, top right of steam client. The little envolope tab will be highlighted green.

/nerd on
You could win a gift only with one entry. Statistics don't say that when you have 0,29% chance to win something, you have to enter 345 times for it. You could win it on the first try, the second, the 355th, or even the 1000th. But when your entries are close to infinity, then you will win 0,29% of the times...

Indeed.
So you knew we all can see these results elsewhere, do you have other extra stuff apart from that (kinda useless) one? I don't know, funny images, or videos, or farming simulator giveaways?

i got this statistic from the statistic section of this website, and these are the averages of you winning, I know you can win first try and how about some suggestions please?

Just enter a 1h giveaway and you'll have about 0,5% chance of winning (I'm assuming 200 entries).

Or solve a puzzle one and it's a even better chance. OR, enter a group one, even better (or maybe worse) chance?

If every member of SteamGifts created at least one giveaway, then you would have better chances. But you just want to get without giving and these are the results :)

Watch me cripple all logical statistics with my bad luck. Follow me on my journey as I reach 1,000 entries without winning a single thing. Even the things hardly anyone else wanted.

Currently. Hence the "follow me on my journey". I am predicting that by the time I reach 1,000 entries, I will still have no wins.

I won a Humble Bundle on here. That alone is worth more than everything I won on Steam.

Which was NOTHING.

That figure seems rather large. Most of the decent (non-private) giveaways have 600+ entries. Often 1000+. (Which'd be a chance of 0.17%-0.010%)

I'd guess the statistics include privates, which are unlikely to have more than 100 entries (1%).

I don't think the odds can be so universal. Some games have many more entries than others on average.
