Dota 2 isnt free. It is in beta state, but people can play it if they invited. You can BUY invite for yourself for 30$. dota 2 will be free after release.

Right now there are 2 ways to buy into the game:

Of course there are giveaways, people trading them or giving them away, but if you want to buy it... this is pretty much the only official way.

Well dota 2 is allowed to be on site cause it has very big price and was really rare some time ago, now its common.
But was your game a guest pass or something? imean ohh i see its free to play, but you had dlcs? or tradable gift? that grant dlcs?

Blacklight: Retribution is free but Dota 2 is in beta still so not everyone has access to it. If someone gets invite they can create a giveaway for it and it's fully legit. They give other people chance to play the game while it's in beta.

which is stupid ,they whitelisted dota 2 beta so you can make giveaways of that beta,but ALL other beta games are blacklisted.

There was a time, a long, long time ago, when Dota 2 beta invites were worth 60 dosh, and CSGO was worth about the same a few months back.

Dota 2 beta keys are highly in demand, and therefore have trade value, which is why it can be given away here. You may not lose money from giving away Dota 2 invites, but it is still an opportunity cost.

Who pays 30$ for a beta invite, especially if the game will be for free?
Idk but to me that seems utterly stupid.

DOTA2 is free?
just will be... probably... but hard to get it for everyone... now its easier... but 3-4 months ago i trade 1 dota2 invite for CoD:MW3 and 1 for ANNO2070 ... it worth it... ;)

btw i mean that beta invite from dota2 store obtain 2x invite... 1 for buyer and 1 for his friend... check store.. maybe i am wrong but i remember that like i said it...

Isn't DOTA still not live to the public? That's why it's ok to giveaway. Backlight is free and public. Simple.
