Is it legit to gift your won keys to a friend or a relative isntead of redeeming the key in Steam for yourself?

The FAQ says "Don't trade, sell, resubmit, or give away games you win." so i guess i can, but i am wondering... what happens if the person you gift the key to also knows this site and uses the key to greate a new giveaway?

Thanks in advance for the feedback =)

Nope.

You would be breaking a rule by giving it away, and so would they.

It comes under "Don't give away games you win". All won games must be redeemed on the winner's account.

This is definitely against the spirit of the site and against the rules too.

Please only enter giveaways that are of games you actually intend to play and enjoy. If your friends or relatives want to try for it, have them join the site.

90% didn't read the terms, and 12% did? I'm guessing 103% of the people on that site didn't go to math class...

But people can use them to trade and get profit so better not risk and make that rule.

wait, what? you even quote the rules 'dont give away games you win', but you immediately write after, that you think you CAN give your game away to a "friend or relative"?

I thought that by "giveaway" they mean this site's "giveaway" system... so i guessed that that meant that you can't CREATE a giveaway with that key.

What i was asking is if i could gift the key personally to relatives, not to create a giveaway in the site.

You've read the rules. Maybe you came across these on your quest.

Don't trade, sell, resubmit, or give away games you win.
Winnings must be redeemed on the winning account.
The submitter and winner(s) of the giveaway have seven (7) days to complete the gifting process. This includes the activation of the gift on the Steam account of the winner.
You must redeem the game on the account you entered with, and may not trade it to others.

He means if he already won for example Indie Gala 8 but only with Steam games (below average) and now when is live Indie Gala 8 (Above Average) giveaway with Desura Games too, he can enter it or not. As I understand =S Or this only happens to me, because won Indie Gala 8 with Steam games but without Desura xD.

You are the only person on this page to mention Indie Gala. Where are you getting this nonsense from?

I think he was stating an example as simplified by me.
If I were to win indie gala 9 (non-BTA) and go on to win the BTA version.
Can I give the non-BTA games to my friend that I got from the BTA version.

I guess it depends more on a giveaway creator. When he sees that you own couple of games from a giveaway, if he will give it to you anyways or if he will ask for reroll. If he gives it to you there's no way to tell if you activated it on your account or gave it away, if you already have it activated from the BTA version before. (not saying that it's not against the rules)

You cannot create giveaways for games that you have received from other people. Even if you already own them.
