Nope.
Adding level restriction is already giving higher lvl users a chance .
Boosting the chance to win purely cause you have more money to spend is flat out unfair .

That's a nice selection of titles! Good taste! 👍

As for the suggestion though I'll have to disagree on that

thx and bump~

Thank you and bump!

Not exactly clear what you're trying to say but have a bump nonetheless.

Bump

thanks a lot for the great giveaways :)

I think the leveling system here already accomplishes this, if I understand you correctly. Also, people can -and probably do- put generous people on whitelists.

Bump

So we can massively improve our chances regardless of level, just buy buying several 20 to 25 games for a dollar bundles and having a high sent to won ratio?

Not going to work.

Bump and a suggestion to include a link to the thread in the GAs so it's easier to bump :) Thank you for the nice selection!

As for the topic, I think that above level 4/5 it starts to get a bit more serious, so I generally don't do any GAs below that unless they are late at night or early in the morning and I want to get a bit more entries since they are mostly one hour flashes anyway.

There's user levels, sgtools, whitelists, groups, forum giveaways; basically there's already tons of ways to tailor your giveaways.
Not to mention that your system would make it (even) more likely for people with means to win more giveaways than others and I think that's the wrong mentality to have in a site like this. I give when I can (which is sadly way much less often than I'd wish) and I never expect to win anything, although it is nice when I do-- but I just see winning as a nice, cool bonus, not the objective.

Nope, main reason because CV can be extremely abusable and exploitable.. also everyone should have equal chance of winning games, even if you are poor (or greed) or you're rich (or/and generous).. If you don't want people who don't donate to win your giveways simply raise up the level restriction, I don't think you should only give games expecting to receive others

This site is based on everyone having an equal chance in any entered giveaway, your idea would go against that.

Thanks for the very nice giveaways! :P
I personally whitelist generous people when I come across them, as long as they also play an "ok" portion of their won games.
I usually also reserve "better" giveaways for them.

I think everyone should have equal chance to enter and win a lottery no matter how much money he won before. However, you can always spend more money to enter a lottery with higher chance to win.

That's why there are, in addition to levels, groups with strict requirements. Make one of those if you want.

Bump

sgtools is already good enough for anyone who wants to make ratio-based giveaways. Or groups with ratio systems of their own.

Bump!

Generous people are already rewarded, here. They give because they want to give, not because they want to receive. Sure, those who are after a "net gain" may end up disappointed and leave, but they are not the generous people. Generous people get noticed by other generous people, and they get invited to giveaway groups and special events because of their generosity. This greatly increases their chance of winning something nice, something from their wish list, and that is fine by them. Generous people do not feel compelled to collect 1000+ games; they are satisfied with a modest number of good games which they enjoy playing.

While I admire your desire to reward contributors to the site, it seems to me that the current system works fine. Making the change you describe would probably cause many more problems---and of a more serious nature---than leaving things as they are.

Bump and thanks!
