I'm new in here and i was wondering if giving away games gives you better chance at winning one and no i'm not talking about certain level required giveaways i'm talking about Normal public giveaways which anyone can enter.
I have seen some users with +3k$ giveaway ratio and just been wondering if they are ridiculously generous or is there's something they are getting in return for doing this?

BTW i have been wondering how is it possible to get 13 blacklist (13 people blacklisted me) and i just joined yesterday! I have not been rude to anyone or even talk to anyone just entered some giveaways and that's all ._.

Please be nice in the comments and if you don't have answers for my questions or just feeling like trolling then just walk away and ignore this.

It does not. You have the same chance as everyone else that has entered the giveaway.

With that said, welcome to Steamgifts! I would encourage you to check out the FAQ and Guidelines as they generally answer alot of questions new users often have.

I wouldn't worry too much about the blacklists either, people blacklist for a variety of reasons. I wouldn't let it effect you. Take it in stride and move on :)

Main way to show appreciation to people is to add them to your whitelist, I think (or just thank them I guess!). There is no rep system or anything like that. (There is one in the trades section, but you're only supposed to +rep people after successfully trading with them). Personally I just think it's a really nice feeling when someone makes a whitelist GA and I can enter it regardless of if I actually do (usually don't), and I think it's the same for most people here

Give him cat / other funny gifs. Really, that's one of the simplest and best things you can give on the site :)

No, everyone that joined said giveaway has an equal chance of winning it - contribution has nothing to do with it (other than level requirements and so on, but you've already grasped that concept). As for blacklists, uh.. dunno, did you try to give away a free game or something? Even if it was deleted, I guess some people might've bl'd you before it happened (Again, I don't know if you actually tried to do it or not, just assuming that might've been the case as I don't see any other red flag)

No, giving away stuff doesn't increase your chance of winning outside of giving access to level-restricted giveaways.

"BTW i have been wondering how is it possible to get 13 blacklist (13 people blacklisted me) and i just joined yesterday! "
People can and will blacklist for any reason, including reasons that make no sense at all. Like jealousy because you won something on your first day here. Best not to worry about it too much.

Seems like i got blacklisted because i tried making a giveaway for a game code i got by entering another giveaway and also because i got lucky at my first day so that's 2 reasons LOL.

Giving away is purely optional and has no effect on chance, but GA creators can filter out people who have given away less than certain thresholds (levels) so you won't be able to enter those.
Have a 💙 for now Welcome to Steamgifts
What have your other 2 comments been? 🤔

Don't worry about blacklists.

For your question: No, chances to win are equal for all entries.

You will get a higher level, invites to private groups and whitelists, if you are generous.

The amount of giveaways you made does not influence your chance at winning a public level 0 giveaway, no.

As you mentioned, being a higher level user means you can enter much more giveaways.
But being a regular gifter enables you to join groups where the chances are much higher due to much fewer entries.

People usually blacklist you if you broke the rules with a giveaway you made or even if they just disagree with something you commented on here.

Just follow the rules/guidelines and be a decent person and everyone will be more than thankful.

You have the same chance of winning as everybody else who enters the same giveaway. By making giveaways you only improve your chances by gaining access to level restricted giveaways with fewer entries. Some people actually are generous or else the site wouldn't work very well. You will get blacklisted any time you do anything - but mostly it will be by trolls who never make giveaways so it isn't worth worrying about (unless you break the rules or otherwise muck people people about, in which case that can get out of hand).

If I had to guess, I'd say the GA you made yesterday before deleting it might be the reason for the blacklists.

Also it was a 3 to 1036 so 0,3% chance

No, chances were slightly higher, because there was three copies. I'd do the math but--math.

That's why they said 3 to 1036 and not 1 to 1036(Unless the comment was edited?)

You know calculators exits, just type it in and it will give you the result. Amazing isn't it.

I'm also lazy. Who knew. That being said I don't care enough to actually try and do probability, calculus I'm okay with. Statistics and probability was the bane of my existence as a student.

No need to be sarcastic. It's not always as straight-forward as doing 3/1036. Sometimes you need to use C and P which can be quite confusing for someone who hasn't taken a probability class in a while.

Chances are equal for all users, but all giveaways don't offer same chances. You can use ESG http://steamcommunity.com/groups/extendedsg
So it will expose your winning odds of a given giveaway.

Also Welcome to SG !
And you will get used to blacklisting dramas ;-) so don't worry about that too much, there are 1 000 000+ users that haven't blacklisted you. yet
