Suspended for not activating a game from a deleted giveaway

There is no "auto-suspended" as far as I know.
You can always click on "received" again to un-receive a giveaway.

Not a good situation mate, bump for visibility

have you checked on SGtools to see if you have other games that are showing as not activated on your account?
as it may be another game that is showing, rather than one that has been deleted (once deleted I do not think you can be suspended for it) - worth checking the sgtools list against your account to make sure - better safe than sorry (otherwise maybe try what Oppenh4imer said)

If this an accurate account then it sounds like you got a raw deal. Also, invalid giveaways for beta keys like this should not just be deleted. The giveaway creator should have to live with the black mark(s) on their record, maybe even be subjected to a suspension themselves in a case where the circumstances are egregious enough. Way too many people expect the staff here to simply clean up their mistakes (some of which they may even make knowingly) and if you acquiesce to such requests then they can and will use that as a crutch and an excuse to do whatever they want and not follow the guidelines that were set forth.

When is giving away beta keys allowed?
Also check your previous wins

The ban specifically mentioned the game in question "Crimson Earth", and this game is not shown on my games won page at all. So I can't mark it as anything at this point.

First 5 seconds sums up my thoughts.

we don't know what happened, only support.

lack of support coordination - GA was 5 copies
but winners left only 2.

Did you contact support letting them know the game was revoked for being Beta as soon as it happened?I have never been part of support so all I can do is guess at what might have happened.

At this point, if it does not show in SG Tools and you served your time the best you can do is contact support to fix so you don't have to worry about it anymore in case it does show up in SG Tools check in the future.Maybe SG fixed it for false negatives or beta had a separate API but that does not explain why you got suspended then.Also if it was deleted then why would you be suspended anyhow I thought that would void it?

I have a theory of support member not noticing that original giveaway was deleted and suspending you by a mistake. Could be SGT with still outdated data and the fact that support members can view deleted giveaways.

Only theory though.

As was mentioned by SickTeddyBear,

• If you have not redeemed the game to your account, the "received" box should NOT be checked.
• If the game is later revoked, you should immediately change the "received" status to "not received."
• If there is an issue with your win, it is best to post in the comments section of the giveaway as Mods check there for info.

Mods make mistakes, too. Your suspension should not have happened and has been expunged.

What I don't get is that I found a user that is not activating wins in Steam, but regifting them. Does kind of suck to see a game you gave away get regifted by the winner. I reported the user a week ago with evidence of 2 regifts, but nothing has happened. The ticket still sits on pending a week later.
