Entered in 150+ and not won a single thing. Not complaining but i just find it odd i see some people with like 30 wins and only a few months on here that have given nothing. But my chances seem much higher as the game i wanted (Hitman Absolution) has been bundled again (Thanks Squeenix!)

Just wondering if anyone else has felt the sadness of losing 150 times in a row lol.

I'd answer "you're a baby" but your lack of basic spelling disturbs me. So I'll go for quit whining.

Leaving the tab open on auto-refresh all day, checking it out every half hour, and entering every relevant public giveaway, I used to win 1 game / month on average (since there's v2 I started winning more, maybe people are still getting used to the site, dunno).

Btw my current stats are 1944 entries, 9 wins -> win once in every 216 entry.

Was curious about the difference between my v1 and v2 ratios, so made a quick count:

v1: 1121 entries, 4 wins -> 1 win / 280 entry or winning 0.36% of my entries

v2: 823 entries, 5 wins -> 1 win / 165 entry or winning 0.61% of my entries

I don't know what makes the almost double difference, I'm doing the same as I did in v1 :o

Listen for every giveaway you enter it has low chance to win
I mean: for 1000 entries GA you have 0.1% chance to win! (yea it's really almost nothing) but this is life man!

If in every single of those 150 effortfull attempts there were less entries than 150, then yes, that would be slightly unexpected, but quite well possible. More likely though, there were 500+ (or even close to 1000+ entries) in every single one of these giveaways. So... no more 'why didn't I win yet threads" from you before you reach at least 2000 entries, mkay?

I know a guy.
He entered around 10000 GA, and he won only 2 game, but they were really really big games: The Witcher 3 ( I said 3, not 2, not 1) and the next one is Shadow of Mordor. His contribute is zero.
So keep the faith !

Chance of winning is inverse proportional to number of entries - simple as that.
It's not odd at all.
Considering most people are neither significantly lucky or unlucky, you will win more if you enter giveaways with low entries.
If you only enter giveaways with less than 200 entries, you are expected to win about one game after your 150+ as you mention.
If some or many of these giveaways had significantly more entries, your chance drops significantly.
Most of the giveaways here have several hundred entries. Therefore, you are expected to win one game once you've entered several hundred times.
If you're lucky or unlucky, it could be much sooner but also much later.
Good luck.

The counter reset on the old site, but I'm at well over 1500 entries with zero wins. I enter for games I'd actually want to play, so most tend to have a lot of entries. Hopefully I'll win eventually, but if not, I still appreciate the chance, and it's not like it costs you anything to try.

Did you do something naughty lately like peeping someone or peeing on stray cats?
You need to behave if you want to win something.

Entered: 1,213.

Won: 2. (Both for the game Overcast: Walden and the Werewolf. One was region-restricted so i can't use it, the other wasn't, but i haven't played it yet and it isn't directly an A-title. Bonus Fact: It actually only cost 1p to enter that GA).

Giveaways: 1. (Talisman: Digital Edition.)

So while i can understand your feeling, i am tempted to press the "Quit Whining" option...
