hi everybody,
everyday, i have to check my status to see if i won or lost.

to do this,
1-i log on first,
2-wait for steam guard mail,
3- enter the code,
4-click "giveaways" and then
5-click "view won".

voila, it says you won nothing, you are still a loser.

i had 850 entries, gave 1 game, won nothing.
so i need to ask you:
-what will happen when i win?
-is all 5 steps i mentioned above still required? or
-will there be flashing lights or any other information at the home page?
-will steamgift send me a mail?

i really want to know.
thank you for any information you provide.

Because it doesn't exist. It's a conspiracy against you.

You may get an email from the gifter with the code or a message in steam. When you log into the SG site you'll see a green banner that you won.

Why not just authorize your machine so you can bypass the steam-guard process?

A lovely green bar will appear on steamgifts website telling you that you won something, you wait until the person sends you the gift. Now, there are two posibilities:

  1. They send you a key for the game that you need to redeem on Steam
    or
  2. They send you a steam gift and you have to accept it

After you got the game, come back on steamgifts and confirm the gift. Then enjoy your game and believe me, it is nice when you win something.

At 400 I didn't have a single win, so I changed my strategy. Since then, I won 1 out of every 100. Be creative, man.

It was already in plain sight. If he really was curious, he'd figure it out.

Seems strange that you have to go through Steam Guard every time.

Don't worry about it, when you win you will notice. :)

Also, when you do finally win one, if everything works remember to mark it as received. Person who gave it away will thank you. :)

I hope, for both of you, that it does not happen every time you win. With that rate, life might fast become quite uncomfortable.

It's like waking up to a plate of bacon. And then a smaller plate for every day that you enjoy what you received.

Everyone who wins a giveaway gains access to a secret winners-only chatroom where we laugh at you, specifically, all the time.
