People whose Steam Account is out of that region (or from excluded countries) won't be able to redeem said codes/receive those games via Steam's native gift system.
While it's not obligatory to create your giveaways region locked, it is adviced to prevent potential headaches on your part.

Now, I've got a question that this thread raised for me.
When creating a giveaway, it asks about region locking. My question is, do you select the regions the key can be REDEEMED in, or do you select regions that the key is NON-REDEEMABLE in? I have seen a few giveaways for Tales of Berseria that had differing region lock settings. The GA I created I just added Japan for the region lock as that was the only country it was locked in. Another GA listed tens of countries in the region lock, and now I'm super confused. (I lucked out and I didn't have a Japanese winner. Sorry again Kappaking)

Thanks. For some reason, the easy things I find extremely difficult. I just, I just glazed right over that and I don't know how.

Did you call me?👽 lol
There seems to be a case where the range of countries that can be redeemed by the vendor is different.
In the case of Humblebundle, the country restriction information of the game sold to support is posted.

September 2018 Monthly - Region information – Humble Bundle

It is good to search by "bundle's name" sold.
And if it is troublesome to investigate or the country restriction is unknown, please note that
"Caution: If you can not redeem the key well, please agree to re-roll or Giveaways delete"
If you write one line, it's comfortable afterwards. :)

I did call you in a separate post but SG doesn't have username notifications (yet?).
That was the article I looked at a little bit after I created the giveaway. Checked the game's individual store page, saw nothing about restrictions and created. Pretty sure I found that restriction write after you wrote your message.
It's got to suck to be in a country with these restrictions as you constantly need to look for this information.
Fortunately, I will heed this advice for the future and double/triple check my GAs.

It's ok, I forgive you ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°) I would 🍁 you again if i could but I can't, so I'll just remove you and add you again!

What does it mean if a game is region-locked? Also, if a game is region-locked, does that mean we have to fill out the Region-Restricted information when we create a giveaway? Thanks!
