Hi. I won "SONAR Steam Edition" RU+CIS GA and I have activated it.
SGtools says I don't activated this.

Im trying to use sgtools for first time, I mark the 3 rules checkbox, and in "Real Sent CV" I put min 100, it creates the GA with this link:
http://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/d3672ddb-1635-11e6-9a63-04019cc0dc01
But doesn't work... anyone knows why?

It should be working fine now, thanks for the report!

Picked up an invalid entrant on my train here:

I don't know if it has bee requested before, but could you somehow include a THIS OR THAT rule type thing or system or something?
Like if I have 5 giveaways, and I want it so that if a person enters 1, they cannot enter any of the other 4.
Or in another situation where it is not simultaneous, if I'm doing a "Game Unlock" type event (as has happened on the forums before), if a person has entered a giveaway, then for a giveaway I create later, none of the entrants to that giveaway could enter. And if I create a giveaway after THAT, none of the entrants to either of those giveaways could enter.
Also, for the observant readers, a Capcom mini-train

I've got four invalid entries on this train:

All friends, all part of a Russian SteamGifts-related group.

Hi, i got a question. I often run out of points on trains. If they are SGTools protected, do I have to enter them later again through SGTools or am I allowed for example to bookmark the giveaway where I arrived and enter it later, without going again through SGTools at the beginning of the train? So all in all, is going once through the tool enough?
Comment has been collapsed.
Once is enough. When you pass that SGTools check and click on the get link button, it will be recorded and your entries will be valid no matter how long you wait to enter afterwards.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for your answer :) So starting from the beginning isn't necessary I can directly go the giveaway where I arrived?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup. If you click on that SGTools link again after you have passed the check, you'll notice that it just straight out gives you the link without needing to pass the check again.

can someone explain how this price (real cv) is calculated?
Tomb Raider (1 Copy) (3$ Total) (Public giveaway)
Why 3$ and not ~19.99$ ??
Comment has been collapsed.
Because Tomb Raider is on the bundled list.
20*0.15=3
Same goes for the Daedalic bundle you gave away.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you very much, did not know about the bundle-list page
The Daedalic bundle was a gift in response so I am perfectly fine with the CV calculation for it.

Having an issue with sgtools not seeing a won giveaway correct because of the less than 5 entries in a group/invite giveaway
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/D4XWm/protoshift-offical-soundtrack/winners <-- This is the giveaway
http://www.sgtools.info/nonactivated/popkiller <-- i get the Games that cannot be verified as "Marked as Received" by the winner
The other 3 winners get the usual when it's a DLC - DLCs Wins that appears as not activated
Hope you can help..
Comment has been collapsed.
SGTools can't see the inside of the giveaway, so if you are not one of the names that appears on the giveaway list as marked as received, it can't properly check it, so it marks as "cannot be verified as marked as activated".
That is not a bad thing, it just means SGT can't check it.
Comment has been collapsed.
i am listed in the giveaway, and i am marked as received...
Comment has been collapsed.
Could you eventually show ALL successful giveaways in our results?
You would just need to come up with another color to represent "ZERO CV" giveaways.
Maybe blue for non-bundle giveaways that had 1-4 entries.
Maybe purple for bundle giveways that had 1-4 entries or were deleted.
edit2: added mockup
edit3: doh forgot to edit the html for the subnautica giveaway from private to group, o well :D

Feature added:
Giveaways failing "5 entries rule" are now shown on RealCV calculations with grey background (maintaining the border to indicate nonbundled/bundled status) an 0 CV.Comment has been collapsed.
This happens when you synchronize your data when steam is down, that lately happens quite a lot. Valve should be ashamed of that :\
You can always fix it using a manual resynchronization. Home -> Resync

New section: Deals
On this section you'll see a list of current deals on the following official reseller stores (Amazon US, Steam, GamersGate, GreenManGaming).
Deals of games that are on the bundled list are hidden by default, but there is a toggle at the top of the page to show/hide them whenever you want. If you decide to show bundle games, you'll see that they have a light red background to easily distinguish them from non-bundled deals.
Deals will show every deal that is above or equal to 50% discount, since they are the most notorious and the ones that interest most to people.
Comment has been collapsed.
The new Deals section is great. I wished for something like this for a while now. :) Thanks!
You probably already noticed that several of the deals from Amazon/GG/GMG really aren't deals at all (for CV purposes) because of a permanent price reduction at Steam, while those stores still claim the original higher MSRP in their discount calculation. I don't know if it's possible for you to compute the discount based on Steam Store's regular price rather than trusting the third-party stores' claimed discount amount. (examples: Motorcycle Club at GG or 911: First Responders® at Amazon both show as 75% discount, but the price is actually equal to Steam's regular non-discounted price)
Comment has been collapsed.
I was thinking, since SGT got into the business of scouring the interwebs for prices, maybe a feature similar to steamdb permanent price change that will also filter out the bundles can be useful. Just a thought.
Comment has been collapsed.
Steam store is not the most accurate when giving prices on steam api, so basing the calculations on Steam Api is not a good idea since it has several types of fuckups (displaying package price on normal apps when it's on discount, sometimes displaying no price at all if the game is removed or the api just fails to report it correctly).
But I'll add a button next to every offer that will lead to an "App page", where you'll find the other stores just like in giveaway view. There you'll be able to compare with steam, and with marketplaces too.

Bump.
Is there any other help thread for ppl who dont know how to use custom filters ? ;P
Or maybe I can put my lame questions in here...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well custom filters are meant for advanced users, but feel free to ask here, me or other people who understand them will solve your doubts with them :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Lets try than :)
I would like to make a GA for user who created more than YY GA`s but mostly non-bundle GA. That second condition is tough for me cause I think about filter which invites only ppl whois CV is made in at least XX% of non bundle giveaways.
In other words - there is that first circle in Breakdown statistics on SGTool. Green color indicates value and % of non bundle. I need that % in my formula:)
Comment has been collapsed.
If you want that %, it's quite easy:
[Integer] num_sent -> Number of created and sent giveaways
[Integer] num_sent_nonbundled -> Number of created and sent giveaways for Not Bundled Games
so: (num_sent_nonbundled / num_sent * 100) >= XX
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, now i got it :) Thanks ! I was rather thinking about value.
(real_sent_nonbundled / real_sent_cv * 100) >= XX

Hi there.
I just wanna ask is there's any button to sync your ratio to SGTools? I'm trying to pass a 0.5 number of win/sent ratio check and I'm clearly over 0.5 now but SGTools keeps failing me, saying I still have around 0.48 ratio. Any ideas?
Edit: Welp, it seems that I need a new pair of glasses.. =.=' Problem solved. Disregard this message, folks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, I love sgtools, that's a great tool. Could you please add an custom rule so that we could check "last sent time" or "last won time"?thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's only me? I can't check wagons url, have Adblock and ghostery extensions, if that info helps.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same as this? https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/eH1Mjzi
Comment has been collapsed.
Extensions should not impact that functionality, since it's server-sided. Are you sure you created the giveaway as a SGTools train?
Comment has been collapsed.
I check why, the trains changed. Thanks
just one check for one invalid entry from some months ago

Yea, I'm getting that too all of a sudden now and can't pass pretty much any check. It's for a bunch of Men of War dlc I won over 3 years ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see any non activation, did you try a resync? Most likely you synced when Steam was down.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's working now, don't know what it was, but it was saying my account was flagged for inactivated wins. It might have synced when Steam was down, thanks for looking though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Would there ever be an option to see if a user got sent gifts marked as non recieved?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not planned, we talked it some time ago in other posts, and it's not really useful and can lead to blocking of legit people (SGv1 was different in this aspect)
Comment has been collapsed.
It pretty much depends, it's very hard to find 1 specific GA amongst 1000's of them if a user reached those numbers.
I don't see how the non activated or multiple wins would not lead to blocking of "legit" people aswell, could simply be that they marked it but forgot to activate... Human misstake!
But thanks for the reply, for me personally one would break the rules in my world as much as having sent gifts as marked as non recieved rather than a user not activated their copy of Bad Rats.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just to give an example of a legit reason for having some marked non-received, you may be aware of already:
I've got a few marked unreceived because the winners of the giveaway already had the game and were unable to be rerolled because there were no valid new winners. This can happen easily on a limited-entry multi-copy giveaway where the number of entries is the same or less than the number of copies available.
I was told by support these have to be added to the admin queue, where the admin can manually alter (reduce) the number of copies the giveaway is for, and this process could take a long time. In the meantime, those users will either mark as not received or leave it unmarked. Three of four chose the former, one chose the latter.

can you fix for this 2 game? for both i have problem with dlc. For tropico everything was ok, but suddenly problems star before 1-2 weeks. few time i was synchronized my account and that solve problem, but now everytime showed dlc as not activated. thanks
Comment has been collapsed.
As it says on the website
Steam API has problems identifying some owned DLCs, so the following ones are probably activated!Again: probably activated.
There is nothing knsys can do. It is a problem of Steam.

he can add game on whitelisted games list (i think that also work for dlc)

Comment has been collapsed.
Did some more testing: I think it has something to do with the games that I am giving away. I could make a generate a link for one of my old giveaways without trouble.
The games I'm giving away now are dlc for Mafia II (which were recently added again to steam).
Comment has been collapsed.
It happens because steam for some unknown reason doesn't list that appid on the all apps list.
Why does this happens, as usual with every steam api fuckup is beyond my imagination. Steam Api is done by monkeys :\
PS: And working, added some protection to get the info from other sources in those rare cases, thanks for the report!

Hi!
I cant enter on SGTools GA (links below) because him says my profile is it with "no activated wins/ multiple wins" or profile private. IT'S ALL FALSE!
Help me, please.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's not really cool for you to link invite only giveaway links that you haven't created yourself. As for your problem, have you tried syncing your SGTools account?
Comment has been collapsed.
These links are found on topics in this forum. I see no problem here, but I edited my post on behalf of any rule that unknown.
Synchronize the SGTools web site and now works fine (I thought it was enough to make it here in SG, I thought that used the same database). It was the first time it happened until I turned to SG support before coming here.
Finally, case settled and it was simple, but would not have conseguidosem your tip. And because of it, I thank you.
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem.
SGTools does indeed have it's own account checking and a problem like this can happen if the check happens when Steam is temporarily unavailable. Manual resync or just waiting for an automatic one does seem to fix it every time, at least when it comes to this particular problem.
