I sync myself whenever I get something new/join a group, I kind of assumed everyone does that (especially a group). I think anyone who wanted a ton of Starvoid keys likely already abused that giveaway to get their ton of keys so probably not that many, if any, will likely bother to try to skim another. These keys don't come with any DLC or extras. Force Sync couldn't hurt, but also likely would strain the site a bit.

+1 but however that can happen during the giveaway, meaning someone might get the key from fileplay when there's 1 hour left and then win this giveaway. I would say they need to do force sync when there's 1 hour left of the giveaway and remove every person who already has the game, and also don't give back the points just for being so stupid

I checked yesterday and it said "no more keys" - I checked again a few minutes ago and it's gone from the keys page - dang :(
Well, at least your (specific) scenario can't come true now ;)

Yes, you have to. But at that point the user is browsing the site and sees this and is prompted to set their profile to public for a minute so they can sync. If you try a sync as a precondition to selecting a winner then this would fail if the winner is private and not at the computer to change it to public for a short while.

Agree that the automatic sync should be more often than once in 7 days..

There will always be idiots who are not syncing their accounts and are entering giveaways for games they already have. And there will always be idiots that don't want the game from the giveaway, but are entering so that if they win, they can regift the game for Contributor points. I really want SteamGifts to have a function that Force Syncs all accounts every 24 hours!

You realise that private profiles must sync, right? If they don't, they're locked out.

so if you are honest, do not open this giveaway to those who do not, have a chance to get =)

i think that they should force account sync before the open of that Starvoid giveaway.. cuz guess some people who picked the game from fileplay didnt do account sync and will try to enter that giveaway and get extra key which it should go to some people who really didnt get the game.. and it would be better if Steamgifts adds something like the account gets sync every day or 2 days or something like that
Thanks :|
