You can't. When you win a game, you're automatically taken out of all other giveaways you entered for the same game.

Winning a game will automatically remove your entries for other copies of the game - unless you manually enter them again, you can not win the same game twice.
If it would happen, you can always leave a comment on the giveaways to ask the creator to reroll the giveaway - just don't reveal it's key.

It can happen if two giveaways for the same game end at exactly the same time. Just wait and see who sends the game first and once you've verified that it works, ask the other guy to reroll by leaving a message at their giveaway 🤣
Make sure you mark the first one as received after you activate it, but do not mark the second, or you will get in trouble.

Or if one you didn't win earlier gets rerolled after you win.

happened to me once but the 2nd GA I won was luckily closed on a later date so I was able to ask owner to re-roll.

What happens if somebody else gets rerolled and you happen to get it that time but have since added the game to your account?

Just ask the giveaway creator to reroll again.

Seriously? I would create a support ticket asking them to look at this.

Thing is: It was a mass giveaway of 500 and the second one of 200 licensed. Firstly, I didn't notice it's the same game so I revealed both keys before realizing. So it's not totaly his fault.

Oh, bummer. I'd probably still give it a shot explaining the story to support but I'd be less optimistic.

Well, if you ask for a reroll because you already have the game, and GA creator doesn't want to reroll, I think you are free to mark as not received. You didn't use the key after all. And since it was a massive giveaway, one fewer key impacts almost nothing on creator's CV.

I think you are free to mark as not received. You didn't use the key after all.

The key consideration being that you didn't use the key. So long as you didn't accept the key, and you inform the GA creator of that fact, then you can't be held liable for the GA creator refusing to reroll it, regardless of if it's your first or second or fiftieth win of the game. The only time you have to take responsibility for a reroll is if you used up the key in question (in violation of multi-win and activation rules), at which point you do need to provide the GA creator a working replacement key and they need to accept that replacement key, before you're allowed to switch your feedback to Not Received.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Are you a lawyer or something?

You said 'think', which indicates uncertainty, so I simply confirmed that your understanding was correct.
The rest was just explaining the actual framework involved.

Oh, ok, so I was correct, hah! :D
Now I understand what you said... sorry but it's hard when there are long sentences with different subjects and so on when you're not a native speaker.

It has happened to me. I accepted the first one. For the second one, I wrote "I recently won this in another giveaway - please reroll" in the comments. This worked out fine. It's straightforward for the giveaway creator to ask for the winner to be rerolled.

This should no longer be possible. It used to be in the past, but now you can't enter giveaways of games you won till it's marked not received, which requires AT LEAST a week, or the game got re-rolled.

You mean a re-roll making you win a game you already won?
If so sounds like a bug/oversight in cg's work to me.

Does this prevent all possibilities of winning a game more than once?
No, a user could still end up the winner of a giveaway, and then a different giveaway they entered in the past could be rerolled, causing them to have two wins for the same game.

Looks like it may be less of an oversight, and more of cg not finding it feasible to implement.
