Just a headsup in case you havent noticed yet: looks like the website is down right now.

Datacenter where SGTools is hosted in has been affected by a massive fire and is at this moment completely shut down.
I will have to wait for my service provider OVH to do something about it, sorry for the downtime.
You can see the news here (French)

GA with SG Tools stopped is probably ...
- Remove the SG Tools link this time.
And open the prize to everyone - Make a free gift separately from SG Tools.
- Remove the giveaway as an accident
- Pray for recovery and see what happens
Probably something like this.
Because of these events, the "bad boy" will also make a leap.
Wait slowly for the time.(｀･θ･´)ゞ Thank you for always working for the SG community.

That is a side effect of the server-loss.
SGTools does automatic nightly backups, but the fire started at night before the backup for that day was finished, so I had to restore a backup from the night before, effectively losing 1 day of data. This means that most likely those entries that are displayed as invalid were done during the time that the data was lost and therefore are most likely valid.
PS: I do remember the earthquake and tsunami in the coast of Fukushima, I followed the whole incident live as I had some friends living in Japan at that time. It was so sad to see the destruction caused by it and the following Nuclear meltdown on the power-plant :\
When I traveled to Japan some years later, everything was rebuild and there was no trace of the tsunami event, you did a great job reconstructing the affected zone.

All GAs via SG Tools that overlap during the time the server was down are in the same state, aren't they?
(Perhaps such an understanding. Force majeure.)
I will not think deeply this time. (I can give a prize to the winners without any problem)
Thank you for politely teaching me.(*p'Θ'q)
Hmm. It seems that the debris has disappeared by accepting people who have been evacuated or evacuated to areas other than the disaster areas in Japan, mobilizing the Self-Defense Forces and volunteers, and putting in a large amount of taxes.
It looks like ...
The "difficult-to-return area" has passed 10 years and remains.
Approximately 70% of evacuees have stated that they will return to their hometowns, but work and life in the new city are becoming more important.
Approximately 70% of evacuees say they will not return to their hometowns, but work and life in new cities are becoming increasingly important.
The number of hospitals that support the elderly who have returned soon is less than half that before the earthquake.
It is like an elderly person taking care of an elderly person.:(
It will take the next 10 years to improve this situation even if it is gradual.
I strongly hope that the tragedy will not be repeated in the meantime.
Japan has a history of being a country of disasters, so it cannot be said that it is absolutely absent, but we will be prepared to be careful and pay attention to it.
(This is my impression, and it will be different from my impression of Japanese human beings.)

Yes, all giveaways open during the day of the Datacenter fire are affected, the same way as yours.
Recovering from a disaster like the one that hit Japan 10 years ago is a slow process, you did great and faster than what most of other countries would have done. Japan is indeed a land of "disasters", the only earthquake and typhoon that I've ever felt in person were when I was visiting Japan, in my country such events are nonexistent.

I feel that there are too many disasters in this region of Japan in history.
It seems that there are temples and people who pray for "world peace" every year for 1270 years.
I was watching the related video stream yesterday. Around 8 hours after the video was delivered, a ritual was held in which the inside of the wooden temple became a sea of fire.
(It was a secret ceremony for 1270 years.However, a part of it was released for "Corona" and the video was distributed on youtube.)
May all people have a good time, so that politics will not be disturbed, world peace, the weather will be calm, and agriculture will be a good harvest.
It seems that prays for such a thing every year for 1270.
(It seems that it continued even if there was a fire during the ceremony)

Did this migration affect the false positives?
I just noticed that some users were flagged with the non activated wins (wins from 2018, 2019 and so on). 1 month ago, everything were fine (for the same users).
Just out of curiosity, I did try to check my own profile and there is a false positive as well: https://www.sgtools.info/nonactivated/Naitas

Hi I checked every week and now have 2 winning I did not activate:(
From 2019,, of course I activated it in my library
what should i do i wait....
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Attila777, are you sure you did not remove them from your library?
I was checking both flagged games and they are both reported correctly by steam api (and checked some other users and they did not flag). I can't see the games when I check your steam profile.
Comment has been collapsed.
This migration didn't affect detection of activated wins in any way.
That being said, some weeks ago I disabled the Learning Games list, as steam is now reporting all the activated games in that category that didn't report before, so the learning list was no longer necessary. Most of the games that you now see as not activated where hidden by that list.
This means that those "new" not activated flagged games are a mix of positive "not activations", games banned on steam or giveaway creator giving away a different game. The vast majority of the games that were on the list are reported correctly by steam api though.
In your specific case, the detection is a true positive, you did not activate the game that you win... because the giveaway creator gave you another game with the same name: The giveaway game <-> Game that you activated
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for the clarification.
Ah yes, I can see that now, my mistake as it was indeed a different game/ name and I did not notice it.... I apologize.
Comment has been collapsed.
Dojini keys from Go Go Bundle Limited #79 were revoked. Since sgtools is no longer using the learning games list that game now appears as not activated for some users. This might also be the case for some other games: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/5V7rV/.

Not sure if it correct to report here. The key I register from steamgift 9 month ago
Sokoban: The RPG
Suddenly got register as different name on my library and now SGtool flag me as Not Activated.
Is there a way to fix thise? Thanks you in advance~

Sokoban: The RPG is correctly reported by steam api, so it's a true postive.

First Thanks for quick reply!
I guess I might have activated wrong game back then?
On license page it activate as Glowing Sokoban don't how I didn't notice that.
But it first time sgtool flag me for not activating. So do I have to buy the game to fix it~?
Comment has been collapsed.
Seeing as the gifter hasn't been online in 4 months, your best -and only- option right now is to contact support, and ask them to change the feedback to "not received" for you, since it gets locked after 1 month.
You'll have to provide proof of the mistake, such as a screenshot showing the won key, and another showing an activation prompt for that key to prove that it's for the wrong game (via ASF's addlicense command, or browser with SteamDB extension).
When you'll eventually manage to contact the gifter, your options with them are to either agree to a deletion of the giveaway, which they'll then initiate by sending a ticket (you cannot do it yourself); OR ask for the correct game to be provided, you'll then change the feedback to received if they comply, or keep it to not received if they don't.
You can certainly buy the correct game yourself... but why would you spend YOUR money to fix someone else's mistake, AND give them credit for it?
Now, whether that mistake was intentional is up to debate, and not really the point of this discussion, but any seasoned SG user can probably guess.

i want to make a custom rule at sgtools but i'm not good at this.
i was thinking something like for example "if user made at least 1 giveaway from 26/3/2020 till 26/3/2021 then give link else don't".
is there a way to implement something like that or it is too complicated?
Comment has been collapsed.
There is no custom variable that can check if a giveaway is done in a certain data range, so a rule like that can't be done.

Nonactivated section shows me a giveaway I won, but, after a revoked key, the giveaway was deleted. However, the game still shows on my nonactivated page, even the giveaway doesn't already shows on my won page. Any solution?

Hello, i see problem with Zombie World Coronavirus Apocalypse VR
I activate it from steamgifts but sgtools said that I don't active this game.
Is IT false positive result?
Comment has been collapsed.
Zombie World Coronavirus Apocalypse VR is correctly reported by the steam api and therefore is a true positive.
You have a game with similar name "World War 2 Zombie Attack VR Simulator", maybe you received the wrong game?
Comment has been collapsed.
You've right. I checked activation mails and that was world war 2 zombie.. Not zombie world coronavirus Apocalypse.
I should better check receiving games

Profile limited and Learning games are no longer a problem for detection.

I'm not able to log in on sgtools.
It goes to the Steam community login as expected, I click Sign In as I'm already signed into Steam Store and Steam Community, it goes back to sgtools, but still shows the sign in through STEAM button. Every action I try to do related to my account goes to the Steam sign in page again.
- Accepted the cookie message on the site as well, to make sure that wasnt the issue (re-visiting the page does not re-prompt, indicating the cookie works/is saved)
- I logged out store and community page and logged back in, to make sure there is no weird cookie/cache issue.
- I cleared cache and tried a different browser as well. Browsers used: Vivaldi (Chromium) and Firefox
- Disabled extensions that could cause issues, but second browser (Firefox) has no extensions.
- Logged out from Steamgifts and logged back in without issues, so I know it is sgtools only. Also checked another site that uses Steam login for authentication and that was fine as well.

I just went to a direct link for a game, for example https://store.steampowered.com/app/651150/Quantum_League/

Hello, i just noticed that the realCV value displayed in Sent section of my sgtools account is higher than the one i see in sync/force section (that one i beleive to be the correct one). Please investigate.
Edit: won section also reports lower value.
Comment has been collapsed.
What you see in sync page is what steamgifts returns on the profile, that's why you can see it's the same as reported by steamgifts.
What you see in sent/won pages are the calculations done by sgtools, and those may differ from the one reported by steamgifts. Why does that happen? Well, stored pricing on steamgifts for apps and packages that are no longer available on steam api is somewhat inconsistent, and steamgift was monitoring them long before sgtools did, so our CV for those kind of games may differ.
For rules that use real_won_cv or real_sent_cv, steamgifts information is used. For rules that wants some subset of that information (public, group, region free, etc) it uses sgtools calculated values.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not seeing anything abnormal on the logs, maybe some connectivity issues with the server's network.
Comment has been collapsed.
Currently the site loads and I can check CV, but when I go to a giveaway rule check page, it takes extremely long to load and eventually gives a "500 Looks like we're having some server issues." message.
Anyway, I wanted to report some invalid entries on my recent train: https://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/7e3076f4-9ad2-11eb-b401-fa163e0a8583/invalidEntries (by the way, that page also loads OK, but the https://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/7e3076f4-9ad2-11eb-b401-fa163e0a8583 doesn't.)
And also there's some weirdness with sent gifts list:
- Heart of Smoke shows up as Out of Smoke.
- Moto Racer 4 Deluxe Edition counts as 50$ instead of 30$, which has been its price since 2017.

Oh, you meant that something was crashing, I was looking for logs on the website being down.
Giveaway should be working again, one of the apis that get called on giveaway view was acting funny.
About the games, for Heart of Smoke it was a change of name that we currently do not track.
Fixed the package too, thanks!

Didn't really know that there was a difference, from my side of things. Guess I should've given more info about the 500 error in my original comment :) I'm fairly sure I had trouble loading the main page at that point as well, so I thought just saying "website is down" would be sufficient.
And thank you very much for all the hard work you do!

Hi, sorry to ask a very noobish question but I can't get it to work for the life of me.
I pasted a list of GAs in the giveaway dashboard to create a train. I put in some rules, all handy dandy. But on entering the first game there is link to the next one (it does show every wagon on the train in the overview however).
I am certain the problem sitting infront of the screen but I can't figure out were I went wrong. Or is it just simply not possible that the connection links are automatically created?
EDIT: I now added the connections by hand for the time being but after creating a thread with the link and some people joining I saw that people got a valid entery even tho their profiles dont match the rule:
https://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/7f80cc81-a798-11eb-b401-fa163e0a8583
Rule: Minimum ratio using Real Value of gifts Sent/Won on Steamgifts: 0.9
So only people with a balanced ratio should be able to enter (10% leeway) or did I mess up the rules as well? I saw at least 2 people that shouldn't be able to enter.
Comment has been collapsed.
I checked your rules and they, correctly, block me from entering.
So, from this test, they work how they should.
Maybe the ones that entered, and are below your set rules, got a direct link from someone that passed the rules.
If that is the case, you get them listed in the secured GA in the Creator Box under Invalid Entries
Comment has been collapsed.
But they are listed under valid enteries (appart from that I found one invalid entries) but they have a ratio of 0.8, thats why I start to wondering. And I used the real CV calculation from sgtools directly.
What am I going to do with the invalid entry? Its outside the sg rule set I feel.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe the ratio was 0.9 or better at the time when they were passing the sgtools-check but it changed later for them because they won a giveaway or some of their giveaways changed in cv (e.g. got bundled or steam store price changed).
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, double checked with recently won GAs (and with the amounts this person already won it would take quite a few to get from 0.8 to 0.9).
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe their real cv dropped after they enter the GA's.
Check them with this one:
https://www.steamgifts.com/user/Name/search?q=Bulletstorm
If you see there multiple copies they had a massive cv drop soon ago because that loophole got closed 1 or 2 days ago because my ticket to it got solved. Retroactive for around 3 years ago.
Each copy give now 2 or 2,5cv instead of 40 or 50 as before.
Comment has been collapsed.
But this is not just one case but a few of them. And for some of them I knew their ratios beforehand and it didn't change.

Hi, I'm new to all this. First of all great job developing those tools (not mentioning that SG is great itself).
I was checking out sgtools. So, out of curiosity, I've checked my account for "non-activated" & it turns out that my account doesn't pass.
I won only 1 giveaway so far & I've activated the key naturally. If I understand correctly, the key was not Deluxe edition after all & now It seems like I didn't activate it. Is there anything I can do about this? I want to be clean :D
Edit: Deluxe edition upgrade DLC is also in my library (The key was for a base game + upgrade)

Sorry for dumb question, but what do "infractions" mean?
Comment has been collapsed.
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:
- First Strike -> 1 month
- Second Strike -> 3 months
- Third Strike -> 6 months
- 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.
