I'm having that same problem for over a month now. 10 entries and only 1 hasn't won it since. I can't get support to re-roll fast enough to get to that one.

I'm wondering if it possible to give support the list of valid entries and have them re-roll until it lands on one of them? it seems unnecessarily inefficient to have to re-roll an average of 19 times as per the odds. Of course that only works if it's practical to get said list in the first place.

I have totally same situation:D today I've had my 7th reroll in a row for this dlc, one more and it beats the record xd
but yeah, you have no choice but to keep rerolling and hoping that someone won't have it
and if everyone has it, you will have to make ticket for deleting GA for cg and that will take god knows how much time to be resolved

I had a few instances like yours happen and noticed it usually occurred with lower level requirement GAs.
It's little nuisance but keep up, once there is a winner who appreciates the win, I feel it was worth it.

That DLC? One would think that higher levels would be smarter, but, no! They HAVE to blindly enter anything, possibly by using autojoin scripts.
I'd suggest a deletion, but since it's a multi-copy giveaway, and you've alredy got a legit winner, the only possible solution is waiting until you get another.
But since there're the holidays... who know how long you'll have to wait?
I personally have a pending re-roll request since 10 days ago, not mine, but for a group giveaway where I was the 5th entry to help with (unbundled) CV.
And I've seen one (in the same group), which was finally re-rolled after two weeks, and since half of the entries had won the game in the meanwhile, I guess it was lucky. At least regarding the re-roll... the RNG could've chosen a better winner.

Check to see if the rest of the people own it already, if they do then let the support staff know and have them delete it.

If only SG would implement an auto reroll system that immediately checks the winner right when they win and if they have the game on their steam account, it rerolls. It would also reroll if the winner has won the same game in the past and marked it as received, even if not on their steam account (and then they get auto suspended for not activating a win that is marked as received. They should not be suspended just for a multiple win though because that is an easy mistake to make when there are a lot of giveaways for the same game and you forget to remove your entries after winning or win the same game in quick succession while you are not here).
I don't know how much demand this would put on the server, but it seems like a pretty simple thing to implement. Until then, just put in as many reroll requests as it takes :)
Edit: When I said they should not be suspended for a duplicate win, I was only referring to if SG implemented automatic reroll and suspensions. If anyone marks more than one copy of the same game as received, they should definitely be suspended, I just don't think the site should automatically suspend right when they win a duplicate game because that can happen to anyone if they forget to remove their previous entries after winning. They site should just automatically reroll in that case.

They should not be suspended just for a multiple win though
They have to physically mark two or more wins of the same game as "Received" to be suspended for multiple wins. It's easy enough to mark one and leave the other for the creator to re-roll.

I agree, I just meant if they implement automatic suspensions, it should not suspend automatically right when they win a game they have won before because it can happen to anyone if they forget to remove their previous entries after winning a game. It should just auto reroll if they have marked the previous win as received.

I mean cool you won a game twice. .. it happens .
I won a game few days ago 10 minutes after i bough it ...
It KINDA sux cause i literally logged on SG to remove my entries for the game and i saw i won it >.>
I just asked for a re-roll and thats it . Thats on me :)
However when i see someone who won the game 7 times in the span of 4 hours and marked all 7 as received ( aka took the keys and did god fucking knows what with them ) ... thats when i have issue and suspends must be issued .
Winning a game twice is a common thing , especially when a new bundle gets released .
However its even easier to ask the GA creator for a Re-roll and forget about one of the wins .
If you ask for a Re-roll its up to the GA creator to deal with that , not you .
IF you mark 2 times the same game as received , thats on you ... and the 3 day ( i think ) suspend is justified :)

I agree and I think anyone that marks 2 copies of the same game as received should be suspended. I was just talking about if SG implemented automatic suspensions. The site should automatically reroll the second win if you marked another win for the same game as received already, but I don't think it should automatically suspend in that case because people forget to remove their previous entries sometimes when they win.
It has happened to me as well with one of my first wins. I entered for a game before I saw the bundle, then bought the bundle and forgot to remove my entries. I won the game a few hours later.

Yeah like ... shit happens ... sometimes twice a day .
Suspending everyone for every little mistake is a Nazi regime and no one wants that ...
Epsecially with multiple wins , everyone makes mistake there ... but if you won a game you Own/Won already you can just ask the GA creator to Re-roll and thats it ... your job is done .
But in the same time being over tolerant to people and letting them do w/e the fuck they want is not the course we should pick either i think
Cause if you broke the rules 20 times over the course of a year ...and all you got was 3 day suspensions .... thats not a system that works either :|

SG keeps track of multiple infractions and will permanently suspend after so many. I have seen it a few times on users I had to request rerolls for.

I mostly only do lvl 5 giveaways because I am lvl 5 myself and now how easy it was to become lvl 4.
I only had to do a reroll once because the user won same game twice.

This is no guarantee, especially with packs and DLC. I had a level 7 dlc giveaway a while back after re-rolling half the entries I manually checked the other half and every single entrant already owned it so I just requested it be deleted.
One of my current giveaways ive been re-rolling for a month now and is likely going to end the same way.

Fun thing actually ... since i quote on quote WORK for 12-16hours almost every night i got far to much free time .
I went on a hunt for the multi winners ...
Lets say if you dont get a word from support from a month , i may have taken a part in that D:
I just need to go trough all the bookmarks i made and make actual tickets .
There is a guy who have won the same DLC 7 times and counting ... and he marked EVERY single one of them as received >.>
Comment has been collapsed.
I saw that guy. That's why I don't like doing public giveaways and why SGTools is a blessing. :D
His ratio seems alright, so it's kinda weird he now decided to break the rules.

Oh, believe me... levels don't mean a thing! Even up to level 10 you'll find people that try to play the system.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah that part is kinda questionable ...
thats what 12 hits ?
I agree that perma banning people after 1-2-3-4-5-6 ... may be a bit to soon ... but 12 hits , if not perma ban should atleast grant the GA creators the right to Re-roll that guy if they decide to ...
Thats not a member who is contributing to the community at all .

I know that feel. I've been scolded once why I'd even bother reporting somone with multiwins older than a month and waste valuable time, but beyond that, even with multiwins older than a year, I always reported "first-timers" and got my rerolls.
I used to be active on that end because the rules are really unbalanced and imho rulebreakers are always favored and giveaway creators have to bite the bullet, but knowing it will never change I gave up.

I assume you made the mistake of trying to give away a DLC then? Or one of the recent HB developer stuff within a week after its release, where the accounts haven't synced yet with the site, so autojoin scripts enter them even if the users own it.
Comment has been collapsed.
i think it would be very helpfull if SG would make something that let you leave the giveaways you won but entered several times automaticly.
thats why i had to reroll 2 wins last week, because i forgot to leave the giveaways i entered twice. but since i sync after every win so that i dont see the games anymore in the list, that would have been enough if you would leave them automaticly

So yeah almost everyone who entered 1 of my gas either already own the game or won it here already ( 1 guy 6 times ....)
I'm rerolling for like 4th time but chances are it will just land on someone who own it .
Question is WTF should I do ? Just reroll till someone who don't own it gets it ?
Chances are by the time I get to him he may win it from someone else himself ....
Then what do I do if all my entries have already won the game somewhere else?
