I won a gift 6 days ago, haven't received the gift, and have apparently been blacklisted by the giveaway creator. I can no longer find any information on who even created the giveaway, much less contact the person. If I try to check the information for the giveaway, Steamgifts now blocks me from accessing it.

Theoretically, the creator could send the gift to my email address in the next day, but my guess is that won't happen.

What do you guys think? Should I just mark the gift as not received tomorrow? Is there a way with the new system for me to even figure out who the giveaway creator is to be able to contact that person?

Should you? I think the answer is obvious. Is the GA creator a trustable member or suspicious guy? I mean how much games he gave away here without problems like this? Don't say his name because it's against the rules, but just this thing.

You have bad luck winning these types of GAs, I see you have 2 non received already, and the fault is from the GA creators.

Unfortunately, I don't even know who the giveaway creator is at this point. The new system blocks me from accessing the original giveaway details as the creator blacklisted me :-/

I assume you can mark it as received/not received, it will then show up in gifts won on your profile where you can see the creator. The feedback is not permanent, so you can un-mark it right after.

The new system doesn't show the giveaway creator in the Giveaways > Won page, even if the gift has been marked as "received." To my understanding, the only way to see the giveaway creator is to click the actual giveaway page. Unfortunately, I don't believe that I can do this unless the giveaway creator un-blacklists me.

Someone commented on your comments in profile about your GA, I was just checking, and the person is a trustable member, I checked his SG profile, is "Smugglers 5" the game you won?

After reading this up and then reading sviat93's comment above, have you checked your Steam profile? This is what sviat93 is talking about, someone left you a message on your Steam profile about 30 minutes ago about contacting him/her for a gift you are supposed to get.

I'm at work, so I hadn't checked it. Thanks for the heads-up.

I meant you can still see the games he gaveaway and what he won, and if this GA were successfully marked as received.

A I didn't know you can't even access his profile.

Mark it as non received, you can always change it anyway

Wait one more day, and if you still can't keep in touch with him then mark as not received.

Respond on Steam and perhaps you'll get your game.

I just responded to the creator, who just un-blacklisted me, on their profile.
