when did you won your first GA ?

depends on the groups but there are quite a few that have GAs for everyone. as an example i do GAs sometimes through my Group which gets around 50 or a little more entries

Welcome to sg! I highly recommend checking out FAQ if you haven't already.

So what i mean is people are making events, jigidi puzzles putting invite only giveaways which you can only enter if you have the link after that. You can check them out in this sub forum.

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussions/puzzles-events

Also there are lots of groups but they have lots of different rules like "if you win you need to share one" or "if you win you need to play in x amounts of time" etc. Also values of giveaways are important to some groups like reduced value stuff. You can again check it under FAQ what reduced value is. Also another helpful link for that CV.

I'd like to know where I can find groupd and puzzle first and some facts about it if possible like are these puzzles ingame or something else

You can check above.

Well if you have games to give away you can join a group. Also if you look in the discussions tab theres always someone doing a cakeday giveaway.

not really, but a lot of people restrict their giveaways to a certain level threshold. therefore with a higher level you can enter more giveaways and those also have a lower entry count.
=> better odds of winning.

but to be exact, that level stuff is implemented in the backend's code...

You can't join at least not yet it is for when u are unlucky like its name says

Just do the math. You see the number of entries, every entry has the same chance to win, add the chances to get expected number of wins.
You should be at something like 0.05-0.1 expected wins.

When you joined, the site should have synched with your account. On the main page, there are sidebars for GA's wishlist, recommended, group, entered ad won.
Wishlisted shows all the game on your steam wishlist that are available to enter. EG- Hitman 2 is on your wishlist and it was just put on the new HB choice. So there should be a few available to enter.

Everyone wins eventually, just keep hitting the "enter giveaway" button, try to level up and join certain groups.
Also maybe you will earn a spot to someone's whitelist. :)

I guess that's because he's selective like that (you can tell by their name) and only enters for games he actually wants, not just for anything in order to win at least something.
That's a hint on something you posted earlier, wink.

Yes it was. :)

LIke everyone else, it "took a long time" to win anything, but that was a very nice win. :)

i am not that lucky i am overall a bit unlucky looking at my stats. Edit I am lying again xD I am actually "Overall, you've been lucky, and won 4 more gifts than"

dont worry youll win at some point .. you just dont have to raise your hopes to much .. cause youll never know when your going to win ..

this only makes you sad :) and hopeless

my advice for you:

1. enter for the games you really want to play
2. check the group recruitment subforum in the discussions tab, and be a member of as amny as you can
3. there's a member-made unofficial android app ( https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/ryDhndF ) , installing is a bit weird, but totally worth
4. you will win games sooner or later, just be active

Good luck and welcome, friend

i pushed my lvl to 4 with GA mostly to those 2 groups, i haven't won a thing outside those groups.....and Unlucky 7 you get kicked out after the seventh win...unless you stay as a "Gifter" wich then means you only get to join GA that allows gifters...and to stay as a gifter...you gotta gift stuff, so yeah......Playing Appreciated on the other hand you commit to play within a month of a win more than 4 hours and using their app you gotta get a score above 60-70 to not get kicked out, so no iddlers~

Galactic Arms Race. An early access game that got abandoned.

I think it was early access, anyway. Kind of dull, procedurally generated weapons.

Keep in mind that we get one of these "Why haven't I won?" threads every month or so.

Great then :v
