You can level up by creating your own giveaways for the community. The more you give, the higher your level, and the more giveaways you will be able to enter.

Patience. It will be your best friend. You're welcomed to enter as many giveaways as you have points and desire to do, but just realize that all winners are randomly generated. It's simple statistics. Many of us, myself included, had to enter 1,000+ games before our first win. Just keep chugging along and you'll get lucky. :)

"Old" guy here. Welcome new guy.
Being a little active on the discussions never hurts. In general be patient with GAs and pleasant in discussions with other users. If you do some GAs of your own then you'll level up your account and be able to enter higher level GAs (fewer entrants, ergo better odds for you). I generally don't enter a GA unless the number of entrants is <250 per key given away in that GA, so you could similarly set a bar like that for what GAs you will/won't enter. If you enter lots of GAs with thousands of entrants each, well...math.

Welcome to SGv2!

This place is pretty easy to navigate and for the most part, the people you meet will be cool.

The only thing that I would suggest, is that before you create a giveaway/giveaways, that you ask in the forums so that you can avoid the usual thing that happens to new people, i.e. creating giveaways for games that aren't allowed to be given away (under a different game name). You'd be surprised how often that happens, even though it's quite obvious if a game isn't allowed to be given away, i.e. it won't be in the drop down list.

Other than that, I don't have much to add, more than, glad to see a new user and I hope you enjoy your stay and make some great friends! :D

Games that are given away free in large amounts are removed from the giveaway list. To stop people exploiting them to unfairly increase their level. Which some people try and do.

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that games have been sold in really cheap bundles or sold for 95% off or more get you reduced value in terms of increasing your level.

Some games are also considered exploited because of various other issues.

I don't know. If I bought GTA V and it didn't work and Steam support were all like "we can't fix it but we will give you a choice of a Dead Island Epidemic Closed Beta Gift or a Dota 2 Gift instead" then that would be fair.

But Ubisoft are all French or something. So that would be wrong and supporting terrorism and armpit hair or some such.

I'm going to be in France in two weeks. I may miss the Steam Summer sale because of it. Seriously, that is how much those guys suck. I'm going to be in a château. Do châteaus have wi-fi? Why would somebody build someting without wi-fi let alone a château?

Yeah. If you can't make a giveaway for a game it is usually for a good reason and if you cry about on the forums or otherwise try and get round the rules you will probably just get blacklisted by people who are bored poopless of such complaints. If your key was free then that is exactly the reason you can't make a giveaway.

It is also worth checking the bundled games list before you make giveaways, because those are the games that you only get 15% value for should you care about your contributor level. Because they have been so cheap at some time.

The system isn't prefect but the place would be more broken without it.

Well, you could also think, that the game titles were not completely updated with Steam DB, etc..

It's probably obvious if you a member of the site for long time. But in case when you just registered, and trying to create GA with few titles from a bundle you just bought, and have no idea, that this game was given away for free 2 years ago, missing game on the list can be confusing.

I guess, if SG still getting fake GA's with free games listed as some other games (or at least so many people complain about that on forum) not everybody searches why exactly their game is not on the list.

Nope, you'd still get in trouble, regardless of whether or not it's in the site's FAQ, since there's a forum that you could search or at the very least, create a thread asking why "x" game isn't in the list of games that you can create giveaways for.

I've been a member of this site for well over 2 years and I've only ever been suspended once (a 3 day that was reduced to less than a day because I was unaware of the rule that I broke and I apologized) and that was when my account was only about 3 or 4 months old.

There is, but like I said in my previous post, you really have to go out of your way to actually get perma banned from SG.

It would require you to knowingly do something that would basically get you perma banned from any other site (i.e. posting nudity{possibly excessive nudity, I've never actually tried. lol}, posting hate speech, knowingly creating multiple fake giveaways etc)

Stuff that any normal forum/site user wouldn't be doing anyway, unless they were actively trying to get banned to begin with. lol

Like I said before, this site is pretty laid back, just have fun and don't do anything you wouldn't want someone else to do to you and you'll be perfectly fine here. :D

permanent banned for what? there are things which are punishable with a permaban. like scamming or having multiple accounts. and there are things which are not punishable with a permaban but if someone pushes his or her luck, might earn himself/herself permaban. for example, iirc i saw someone got permabanned for posting a ref link right after his/her suspension for posting a ref link earlier ended.

You can see all the default lenghts for suspensions on the bottom of this page.
As already mentioned, these are just default lengths and can be longer / permanent if it is a repeated offense.
Also these suspensions can be cumulative. For example,if you are caught posting a referral link and with 3 won games not activated on your Steam account, you'll get 18 days of suspension (3*5 + 3).

the bad thing about bad rats is (if the title is not enough already) it's a physics game with messed up physics. same moves never give you the same outcome. it's like some kind of a magic really. also killing a chained cat is low even if you're a rat.

Although this new version of SG is great, Steamgifts ++ does add a number of nice features (which can all be toggled on or off, as you desire.

I highly recommend installing Enhanced Steam. It does a great job of showing pricing, game highlights on Steam website, and has a profile link connecting directly back to SG, thus helping you to identify imposters.

A short list:

  1. Potato choice in polls: A running joke that... Doesn't make much sense. Basically, when someone create a poll, they sometime add a choice related to potato.
  2. "Thanks for Skyrim!": I'm not too sure myself, but I think it's a troll comment often seen on threads, in an attempt at fooling other people into thinking there's a hidden giveaway for Skyrim there. (Skyrim is always the number one wishlisted game by Steamgifts users).
  3. Bad Rats: It's a bad game, but people here often pretend that it's really good as a troll.
  4. Barbie: I'm not sure about that one... Somewhat similar to the Bad Rats one I guess, except I have no idea what's the game like, myself.
  5. Fortix: Fortix is a $1 game on Steam, and is somewhat of an unofficially official "mascot" game for Steamgifts. There's some kind of a "tradition" with that one, that you can't buy the game for yourself, you need to win it on Steamgifts. Once you've won it, you have to create a giveaway for another copy of Fortix. (Don't get the wrong idea, I don't mean regifting, of course. I mean that you have to activate your won copy, then give another one away. :P) Not many follow that tradition, though, so no sweat. ^^

There are more like these. But understanding the "basics" can help you understand a bit better and avoid confusion.
