I would really like to support give us the winner ;)

Some of the people giving it away actually have it in their library. What is unknown is whether or not they owned it before the keys were given out.

If you ask me...
a) They redeemed the key and created giveaway with dupe key
OR
b) They have multi-account, redeemed legit copy, and now giving away second one.
Of course, there is also case of user buying another copy or receiving key from other source (for example from other regift... or from other site, or from dev), but those cases are really rare. If I was working in support I'd firstly check IPs and make sure that the guy doesn't look suspicious of multi-accounts if he owns the game already. Second thing would be checking if it's not the key he actually received, but I doubt support has enough power to do that.
In general, even if there are valid cases, I can guarantee that at least 99% are fishy. And I can say that at least 99.9% are regifts, some might just not be intentional (such as me winning that game on some other site, and giving it away now. I don't know the source of the key)

Don't forget alt accounts giving away keys they won on their main.

Here's another rule that everyone should remember:
If you have an issue with another user, submit a ticket with a user report, rather than calling them out within the community or on the forum.
While it is OK to remind people of the rules, be sure you don't post accusations. (e.g. "You've regifted all the games you won!")

it is allowed to murder people if it's done in self defence, defence of others or by an accident that is in no way your fault
it is allowed to steal something if you pay for it first
it is allowed to provide alcohol to a minor if it's actually a misspelling of "miner"

I didn't enter because I wasn't too impressed with the game. I was however impressed by the size of the giveaway.

Make GA in these 2 days. All suspend accounts cannot win your gifts :)

I'm wondering which game holds the record for largest giveaway. Maybe that one with 100.000 keys for "Dwarfs?!".

The dev is a self-publisher, and a publisher can generate as many keys for promotional purposes as they want. Even large publishers sometimes hand out tens of thousands of free copies (think like Origin on the House deals). It is just a matter of question that this dev decided to use SteamGifts as a mean to make the promo keys reach the plebspublic.

Oh boy another one:

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/GXUwc/read-this-if-you-want-to-regift-30-impossible-levels/
Anyway, it's mostly to lvl 1 scum, auto-joiners (who also rejoin other giveaways of this game even having won the 50k) who for some reason don't want it yet auto-join everything...
They are really just asking to be banned, and we happily comply (if only it wasn't for the 20 ticket per day limit :()

EDIT: Actually checking another regifter of 6 games(!)... also just 4 weeks.
