Hi, for a few weeks now sgtools tell me i have inactivated games on my account, which are apparently DLC's not recognized by the steam api. Still, i can't join sgtools protected giveaways. Could somebody please advice how to get around this issue?
Have a great day folks.

I would say it's highly unlikely that his is happening to you "for weeks", since that only can happen when you synchronize and steam is api is down.
Every 24h the cache is invalidated and rechecked again if you try to enter a giveaway, that means everytime that happened to you, steam api was down. But don't worry, the solution is easy, go to Home-> Synchronize.

Hi there =)
SG Tools thinks that someone has bypassed the check to my giveaway: d025d8be-0fdb-11e7-940a-fa163ee2f826
While it's true, that I did not give away the direct link to the giveaway, I checked the user that's been listed as invalid entry and judging from his/her profile, I don't see any reason why this user would have to circumvent the SG Tools check. AFAICT, all requirements are met.
So would you please answer me the following questions:
1) Would this be the right place to report an infraction (if it is, is there any special information required, other than the SG Tools ID?)
2) Did the user really bypass the SG Tools check or is it just a false-positive?
Cheers =)

Hi :)
Most people that bypass the giveaways do that because they get the url from a friend and join right away, without thinking that breaking in a private giveaway that they are not invited in is a bad thing to do.
It's not the first case, not will be the last, that the user could just have passed the SGTools requirements of a giveaway, but instead just enters the giveaway with a leaked url.
There is no way to get a false positive out of the invalid lists, so yes he bypassed the SGTools giveaway.
The correct way to report it is just linking the id as you did (and if it's a train, one of the wagons were the infractors break in). So you did all the necessary, but since it's not really a report I have to ask you, do you want me to apply an infraction to that invalid entry?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for your reply.
In this case, I don't think it's neccessary to apply an infraction, because IMHO the user would have been able to join anyway.
Cheers and have a nice day =)

Hi, I'm experiencing a strange thing on SGTools. I'm trying to join a giveaway with standard rules (activate all won gifts, not won a game multiple times, not VAC banned) but it tells me that I either have unactivated gifts or my profile is private. But that can't be right, because I have activated all my games, and I've sync'd SteamGifts to Steam just fine just now.
I've been joining SGTools giveaways for a while now and this is the first time I've encountered this problem (but I have encountered that set of rules without problem before).
If it helps, the giveaway is <giveaway identifier removed>.

SGTools also syncs correctly yeah
Edit: Oh, it works now. It must've been that. lol thank you! ♥

You're so welcome Tsugumiwinters! :3
This can happen when SGTools does an automated sync when Steam is down at that same moment.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm activated all won gifts but no pass (profile is public)
Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private.

After I tried to synchronize, I posted a comment here. it did not work then but now it worked, interesting LOL
Comment has been collapsed.
Steam is kind of down, when I told you to re-synchronize I tried your nonactivated and it reported steam api down.
It seems api has been (and still is) extremely unstable lately.

Thank you so much Knsys for making, user supporting and updating your great SGTools that I used to make XII SGTools trains and will use again for sure! ^^

New Infraction system.
Infractions replaces bans on "entered sgtools protected giveaway without a valid entry" cases. This new system will use a strikes based calculations to ensure that a user is really aware of those infractions before being permanently denied of getting thought sgtools giveaways.
Strike system details:
1. First Strike -> 1 month
2. Second Strike -> 3 months
3. Third Strike -> 6 months
4. Forth+ Strike -> 3000 years (aka perma infraction).
Users currently serving an infraction will see a red bar on the top of every giveaway-related page informing of the time it'll expire. They can do every operation on sgtools apart from qualifying for giveaways and getting the url.
There is still permabans in place for the following cases:
* Users that misuse giveaway feedback to bypass giveaway rules
* Giveaway url leakers
* Trying to exploit in any other way the systemSorry, but leaking a giveaway URL is punished with a permanent ban.

In sgtools i check the requirements for a game and it says that "Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private."
Now i activated all my games ( i forgot one, but now i have activate it) and i synked my account with steam.
The problem is that it tells me again that i do not match the requirements and that is false. The game is level 0 and my accont is not private and i have activated all the games i won (3 games)

Thank you again for helping me Knysys, that problem is completely solved now! ^^

SGtools keeps saying ''Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private.'''
I synced both sgtools and steamgifts.
The game that is being a pain is ''10 Second Ninja''
Comment has been collapsed.
that's because you do not own "10 second ninja" you own "10 second ninja x" instead. you need to report the mistake to the gifter and either request the title change, give permission to delete, or request the proper key. which route to take is upto you however i'd take into consideration that 10 second ninja X is newer and less bundled game and that it was likely a genuine mistake.

hello!
I've recieved a message on sgtools, like this- 'You are currently serving an infraction until2017-06-26 21:27:34 NY Time'
and I got no idea how I got that, I don't even know how to bypass SGTools...
I 've just resync-ed my account in sgtools, nothing changes :(
any help, please?
Someone told me that the ban is applied if I didn't get the giveaway URL from the sgtools website.
I guess I did something wrong...? Just wanna know how and why. Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
You entered two different sgtools protected giveaways without getting the url from sgtools.
Those giveaways are Mini Metro and Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition.
As a rule of thumb, entering a private giveaway without getting the url from the owner in some way (directly, a post in the forum, a group you share with him, etc.) is not a very good idea...
Comment has been collapsed.
I went directly through giveaway owner's giveaway thread... :(
anyways I guess there was some issue there, but well, rules are rules...
at least I'm glad that I didn't got something really bad like permanent ban.
thank you for your concern. Was rly helped me a lot. Huge thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
There was no giveaway url in that thread, only a url to a webpage, so no you didn't get it from the creator's thread.
Please don't try to blame others for your own mistakes, those concrete giveaways were placed on a nice select-only-one website that requires some effort to make.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, it was nice website with 4 doors...
Yes, It was my mistake that I tried more than one giveaway from that one, and I'm not even trying to blame anybody on my mistake. If you understood that way, my apologies on that one too.

According to Steam gifts support, I need to contact you to have a bug fixed on my account. Below is the information concerning the problem. Thanks
Jorgon
I just won a game called Blood Harvest. I activated the key with little thought and marked it received. Once I went to play the game I noticed it was sweat shop. While disappointed that it was a game that had been given away free before, My big issue is that now I'm having issues entering giveaways. It's saying That not all my wins are not all activated. This just happened. The giveaway is from ____. I notified him but, I , want to get this issue corrected right away. Please feel free to look into the giveaway and key. Thank you for helping me to get this resolved.

Latest update. ------ contacted me and said he made a mistake and posted the wrong key. I activated the correct key and let him know that the sweat shop key should still be good. Now the Only issue that is left to resolve is it's still saying my account is still flagged with unactivated wins or my account is private. My account is not private. So, I just need to get that removed.
thanks again for your help.

Hello Jorgon.
Your account is fine. SGTools is a third party site developed by knsys. Issues and bugs should be reported in the official thread. You could try syncing your account with the website.
We have no way to fix or update it.
Have a nice day.
Dear Knsys, u can see the issue I have above. Syncing my account did not work. I'm still flagged with unactivated wins or my account is private. My account is not private. So, I just need to get that removed.
(Thank you in advance for resolving this issue)

Looks like you need to sync with sgtools (not SteamGifts). Go here: http://www.sgtools.info/sync
Comment has been collapsed.
Giveaways use a 24hours cache, to avoid recalculating everything when it's not really necessary. You can however refresh that cache doing a manual synchronization on SGTools (and not on SteamGifts).
So as combatbeard said, just do a SGtools synchronization

Hello there, I was planning to submit this report after the giveaways over, but something made me to do it right now.
So I have got this train going on and I noticed one invalid entry (also there is another invalid entry on my other ongoing train). The problem here actually is that the invalid user would have passed the SGTools rules I set, but he showed up as invalid entry. I would want to ask them how they got the giveaway link, so I went ahead and sent him a friend request. He ended up declining the request and kept declining my requests afterwards. I actually recorded footage of my friends window showing the pending friend request and then the user is no longer there but not added to my friends. Anyway due to this I decided to report the infraction before the giveaways end.
It's this one and should only have 1 invalid entry:
42001d0b-1700-11e7-940a-fa163ee2f826The other one also has an invalid but I can wait until that one ends.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome and thank you for processing it. For the other train I have sorted out with the guy who entered so I will not be putting up another report against him. For this one though, I think the best result is keep the infraction in place.

The 'Check requirements' button isn't working for me. It's been like that for a few days now :/
Upon inspecting the button it says 'ReferenceError: $ is not defined'
So it appears the button isn't doing anything at all.
Firefox and Chrome both have the same problem. They're up to date, and I updated java as well, but no luck

You are somehow blocking the loading of jquery, that's why you are receiving that error.
Check out for any browser plugin that may be blocking it, or maybe your isp is blocking the access to the cdn.
Comment has been collapsed.
No browser plugins are interfering.
Also, the rules checker and cv pages all work just fine. If they are working I wouldn't think it would be the isp either, would it?
A bunch of other sites have java/javascript working just fine as well.
I've had this problem a few other times, but it always goes away after a little bit. It hasn't lasted this long before
Comment has been collapsed.
Something is really blocking your access to the CDN serving the JavaScript. That error is clearly saying that Jquery is not recognized, and since you tried on both chrome and firefox up to date, that is the only possibility left.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm definitely not doubting you know what you're talking about. I just wish I knew what to do about it.
Is the CDN for that javascript the same as the CDN for the rules checkers?
I have no clue why it's happening, or why the ISP might block it. If it's the ISP, I wonder why would they only target your script?
I'm not sure why it would be intermittent either
Comment has been collapsed.
There are local scripts and remote scripts. The one that is failing to execute and throws the error is a local script, that needs the remote script to work. All SGTools custom scripts are local, while all standard libraries and frameworks are remote.
You are loading local scripts, but not loading the CDN (Content Delivery Network) remote ones.

Cube Master: Light Adventure was previously recognised as activated on my account, but I'm currently failing entry requirements because it's showing as non-activated. Synchronising didn't help. Any ideas?
Comment has been collapsed.
cube master appid = 562650 (what you were given)
cube master: light adventure appid = 581690 (what the giveaway was actually for)
that's an easy mistake to make and it's not a free key swapout afaik.. i'd just request a title change in the GA and leave it unmarked until the title changes. (edit: or agree to delete)
or if that's not the case, maybe it was revoked for some strange reason?? idk, but i don't see the titled game in your account. - (edit: i'd check license history date and see what lines up with the redemption time.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, that's the game I received - I thought it was just one of those examples where the game title doesn't quite match up, and because neither are available in the store (in my region, at least) I wasn't able to double check. I'll let the GA creator know, thanks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also, I now realise it wasn't ever showing as activated, I was just confused by the timings because the GA only rerolled to me yesterday.

Hi.
In checking the requirements for an SG, SGTools says I am serving infraction until 2017-06-05 15:19:00 NY Time, but my account is active normally and I have no unactivated games. I would like help with this please.

You entered two SGTools protected giveaways without getting the url from SGTools.
- TASTEE: Lethal Tactics
- Life Goes On: Done to Death
Comment has been collapsed.
So this punishment is being imposed by SGTools and not by SG, correct?
So I will not be able to participate in any other GA that is protected by SGTools until the mentioned date?
Comment has been collapsed.
Right. Your site, your rules and punishments, but, where are the rules of use of SGTools and their respective punishments written?

I only have ~660 games, why does the condition fail?

That is because rule is not well constructed, it's not a problem on your side.
