For the unlucky one's

I know the feeling...I'm with this,totally :D

Totally agree with you

I have absolutely no problem with allowing people who have spent money on games to give away, to have more options on how they want to give away those games.

This was what the S.Losers group was about, but unfortunately, we ran out of people who were both losers and active. Most of those who applied were leechers.

Probably not going to happen, but I'd like this lol. There are a few groups just for this occasion.

i like the idea won my first giveaway with like 400 entries and that was fs and the second one was portal after 1k+ entries ^^

In the time it took to click 1000 links, you could have made enough to buy your own game :)

Good idea. But even better if you could put something like "Only for people who haven't won in 500 giveaways + contributor $25"
so that these giveaways would be for contributors too, not only for unlucky leechers :P

Best idea would be be a Non-Constributers only giveaway. I'm sure that would be popular. ;)

nice idea

I agree, would be a good idea. No reason why it couldn't be combined with the contributor mechanic, e.g. Contributors who've given more than $30 with < 2 wins and > 800 giveaways.

Or we could simply increase the number of entries of the unlucky ones, they would have a higher probability of winning. For example, someone who hasnt won anything since 500 giveaways will get x5 entries into a giveaway, So someone who has won recently will gain only x1 entry. Just a suggestion.

Maybe with some kind of a slider (like we have for contributors) that creator can use to set the desired ratio of win/loss or some other parameter (number of losses, or nuber of entered givaways without win, or I don't know). Withing certain boundaries, that is.

i have over 500 entries and 1 win but it was fake so that would really suck for me

I just joined over 70 open giveaway groups, that's it.

I deserve it :-D

Special for me, not bad.

+1

I'd like that. I've gone over 800 and not won a single thing...

Good Idea :)

it will be go to goes to ' invite .... ' subject. Invite by winnigs , invite by region ?

But there should be option for giveaway maker to make chance to win in his giveaway equal for everyone. Why? I think that it would be a bit unjust if someone had 5x bigger chance to win a game worth 60$ while active contributor would have smaller chance. That's just my opinion.

Or: enable this win chance raising only for contributors or likely.

the idea of includig a ratio of entries/winnings is nice, a lot of groups do that, so is a nice featre to put in this... but again all looks great in theory, then people manage to ruin it...

Not a bad idea :) I like being a contributor and so far I've given away 3 games worth nearly 60 $ and entered about 90 giveaways. Never won but what is 90 giveaways compared to 1000 :D still I think that is just a bit unfair if you've entered 1000 giveaways won 0 but already given away games worth like 200 $ and than you get someone that entered 1000 giveaways won 5 and never created a giveaway himself

Idea for a temporary solution: Just create a private Steam group (suggestion: The Unlucky One) and only accept users with 0 wins on SG. When you create a giveaway make a group-only giveaway (for the users of this new steam group) and when someone wins a game, you remove it from the group. This way we'll get a group with only unlucky-SG-users. What do you think guys? (PS: sorry for my self-taught english)

Agree! :)
