New entry: Abo Mando. Even though it appears "green" i.e. can play it, at the same time the check reports that I don't have it.
For some reason the game was listed as "private" even though I don't remember touching it. Move along.. nothing to see here

I can see that other users win that game, and the game is on their profile. You could check if you don't set the game to private.

oh bummer, you are right. I wouldn't check on that option because I don't remember ever messing with that game and it wasn't a gift. Very odd indeed as to what happened, but cheers!

Hi knsys, I had this idea for a GA filter: a limit on the number of groups an account is in, to make things more difficult for bot / leech accounts that often are in 500+ Steam groups.
A bot could of course leave some groups, pass the check, and rejoin them again but hopefully something within Steam will block a mass joining of groups.
Do you think something like this could help?
Comment has been collapsed.
Knsys "only" maintain sgtools that it don't have errors and is useable.
He don't invest energy in programming something new.
So all the good ideas will not be more as this.
Till he, hopefully, do something. But i expect this first when cg do a lot more on sg against the multiple sorts of cheaters (as example punishing the ones that constantly break the sgtools rules and are perma banned there...) .

Ah, I see, completely understandable.
Yes, some enforcement of automated joiners at least would be great.

Is sgtools not activated wins broken?
I have a winner who has 2 wins and account is only 3 weeks old, yet sgtools reports 100+ not activated wins dating back to 2015. How is this possible?

Hey! My account is flagged as having some unactivated wins. As i handled this Is it possible to remove this or not? Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't see Dark Void Zero on your Steam profile, but I can see the game on the profiles of other winners. Please make sure that it isn't private.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thats because it is removed from the steam. Yes i didn't activated on time, got suspended, then bought myself all the previous winnings to unsuspend the account and now that item is gonna be missing forever. So any chance?

The game was delisted this year, and you won it 11 years ago. A long time frame to activate it, isn't it? As @Tristar stated, the game may still available on grey market. Buy quick, before the key goes extinct.

I've been pushing for Level 4 and SGTools thinks I'm there while SG says I'm not yet. Curious what the discrepancy may be. SGTools link

I have never used SGTools before. I just tried to log in, but it showed "Incorrect login" or redirected me back to the SGTools homepage. I also tried clearing cookies, switching browsers, and other methods, but I still couldn't log in. Is there any solution to this?

I think it's working now. I won that game here, and SGTools said I'm good.

These two suddenly get flagged as non-activated wins, although they are on my account, they are not set as private and my profile details are all public. Had no issues before today and I changed nothing about the games or my account.

same as my case above. those are profile limited games
Comment has been collapsed.
A couple new threads were created today about sgtools incorrectly saying that people have unactiavted wins. It looks like it might have something to do with profile feature limited games.

Hello, I am experiencing the same issue. My games are active and not hidden

Profile limited games should be correctly reported again

Hi, I have a gift marked as non-activated but there are some conditions that make it difficult or impossible to rectify the issue. I won the gift in a mass giveaway (50000 keys available, 28381 entries) 8 years ago for a game that is no longer on the steam store. I have always redeemed every won gift and to double check, I tried redeeming the key again but am told by steam that "The product is already owned". I am not 100% sure but I believe I asked steam support to remove the game from my library at some point in the past 8 years but cannot ask them to re-add the game as it doesn't appear in the steam support's game search, possibly from no longer being on the steam store. How should I proceed? I have only recently started using this site again after 8 years and would like to host my own giveaways and overall be more involved in this community but this infraction is very discouraging. Thanks for any help.

You can search by app number. https://help.steampowered.com/wizard/HelpWithGame/?appid=459910
Though if it's a removed game, not sure if it will be possible for SG support to determine whether you own it, even if you successfully restore it to your account.
Also mind that SGTools is not affiliated with SteamGifts. Assuming you're talking about a SG infraction, as SGTools already ignores this game.

Thank you for answering my questions thus far, I appreciate it. I saw the phrase, "All of these are most probably activated, you just have to check if the user owns the base game for entries that are goty, deluxe, complete, etc..." in SGTools and believed that I had to have the game in my library currently for people to verify I had the game.
Regarding your last sentence, how would I know if I have an SG infraction? Also, what does an account with infractions on SGTools look like? An example would be nice but I understand that there may be privacy concerns.

As I understand it, the "base game" bit is just for games which have several editions. If in the whitelisted games there would be something like a GOTY edition, then for people to check (verify) activation it would be enough to search for the base game in the winner's library - unless the base game is whitelisted, too.
Basically, lists which are collapsed by default, mean that those games or DLCs can't be verified by SGTools, whether the winner activated them or not. This isn't the fault of the winner, so it's fine, nothing to worry about.

I think with a SG infraction you probably can't interact with this website for some time, i.e. not enter giveaways and not post comments for example. You would probably get a message from a moderator telling you the details.
Same with SGTools if you have an infraction there - you probably won't be able to enter any giveaways which are guarded by SGTools. You could still enter if someone tells you the link to the giveaway on SG, but the giveaway creator can find out.

SGTools would list the names and dates of the unactivated wins if there are infractions (See pic).
If you don't see anything, it means that your account is clean.

Hello
This game is marked as not activated (Zombie Shooter 2) : https://i.imgur.com/qioEJEg.jpeg
But I have it : https://i.imgur.com/FnQSRne.jpeg

Did you set it to private?
Check your Steam library from a private browser window. At least for me it does not show up.
Comment has been collapsed.
I also can't see that game in your Steam profile. That's why Oppenh4imer suggested you to check from a private window. Maybe you have the game from family share?
Comment has been collapsed.
did you remove it from library by chance but still have access to it from family sharing?
I don't see it in your library.
Comment has been collapsed.
I tried to bought the game for myself, but it was written that I already have this game.
Also, i checked support page and it show i have the game in my library (and not private).
Proof : https://i.imgur.com/W1Y11Sk.jpeg
So I tried to launch the game to see and the warning on SGTools disapeared.
Comment has been collapsed.
that's the behavior you would expect from family share games, they only show up for a few weeks since they were last launched
go to the store page see if you see the attached, if you do you removed it from library and need to go through steams support to add it back to your library(should be automatic upon doing it). That icon won't show if you own it yourself and you can't buy or activate games you own but have removed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank's for the info !
But i have this game and it was not privated or in family share. Maybe a problem with sync ? Anyways, the info have been removed from sgtools :)
