He can win it and you can't reroll it, cause removing someone from whitelist is not count as valid reason to reroll.

You can add them back on until the giveaway is complete if you need to communicate with them after the giveaways end and remove them once the giveaway has been fully resolved.

ESGST has an option to automatically send keys to giveaway winners. There's a toggle option that says "Do not send if the winner is not on your whitelist.", why would there be a toggle like that if whitelist membership is not as valid reason to reroll? I'm confusion.

My guess is that it is because ESGST is not an official SG tool, so it doesn't necessarily align to SG guidelines. You as an user can decide not to send the key if the person is not on your whitelist before and have it mark as not received, I guess.

As fernandopa said, it's an unofficial tool.
I guess the reason for the feature is that you likely trust your WL members enough to automatically send the key, while you may want to manually check the randoms.

Also whitelist is just a "group", same rules apply. You can't make a giveaway, get 10 entrants, then kick/remove 9 so your friend wins the GA, while you also get CV for the 10 entrants.

Remember some people also have autojoin scripts and that doesn't mean they are allowed.
I once asked reroll for removed member of whitelist and it was refused. With WL it is different than with groups and only matter they were once eligible to enter.

Oh man, I did the same thing and googled Schmetti. Difference is I still didn't notice it's you till I saw above comment. For this unspeakable act of confusion, you have now received one more "Schmetti will explode" vote. :D

i once heard someone say their reason for doing this is because they don't like soggy cereal.. jackiechanwhat.jpg

My son eats half the cereal dry, and then adds the milk. He says he'd rather have dry cereal than have soggy cereal.

The only way to guarantee that user cannot win would be to delete the giveaway, and re-create it after removing them from you whitelist.

I think this is a good option if the user did something really terrible, and you really don't want him to win that giveaway. (or: maybe ask him beforehand to leave the giveaway, if he won't, delete the giveaway)

Long story short all the checks are done at entry time. If a user sees the green Enter Giveaway button his entry is valid. If I remember correctly the only exception are group GAs if the user was kicked before he joined and just did not sync.

That's probably the only possible way for the rule to work, as anything granting the creator power to reroll GAs based on his actions could lead to abuse - people could create private GAs with "intended" winner and just keep removing other winners from group/whitelist etc. Reroll doesn't invalidate the entry itself, so you could create a private GA for 5 people, demand rerolls till some specific winner is chosen and still get CV for basically making a predefined gift instead of a random GA

Makes sense. I also was thinking yesterday - if it was that easy to remove a user from a whitelist giveaway, you could just annoy the hell out of him. Keep removing him from whitelist and put him back, so he has to re-enter again (and again) if he really wants the game. One could do so much bullshit. 😁

To all my whities: I won't remove anyone of you from my whitelist anytime soon. I'm sorry for this thread and if it caused any confusion.
