Invited, nudge me in a couple of days if I forget to promote you on Steam.

Hey loopers,
you won your 8th giveaway 11 hours ago and are no longer a member of Unlucky7. It looks rather strange that you have not synced your Steamgifts account and keep on entering UL7 giveaway. Please leave all UL7 giveaway you might have entered, to prevent unnecessary re-rolls.
Have a nice day.

Hey bootcd,
as you have blacklisted me, I have no easy way to check when you created your last group giveaway. See also: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/unlucky-7/announcements/detail/4246413199410372846
Have a nice day.

Hey, I would like to join. I have two giveaways that are about to end and I will exceed the 7 gift requirement for accounts under two months.

Hey! Thanks for running this group! Can I join? Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
Please consider that this group was created to encourage newcomers to SteamGifts to learn what this site is all about - gifting other members your spare, unwanted games from bundles and sometimes spending what you can afford on unbundled games. I recently joined U7 and am actively gifting to this group so each member can have a better chance to experience the thrill of winning but also so they learn to gift others so they too can experience this same "thrill". THIS is how SteamGifts survives!
If you regularly gift to a group(s), please consider joining and contributing to this group, even if it is just once in a while. You may not have noticed that SteamGifts has way fewer GA's than it used to and that the possibility of it's demise might eventually happen. You can make a difference by encouraging new members to learn how and why they should gift other members - Unlucky 7 is one of those ways.
(The fine print: yes, there are scammers, auto-joiners, bots and people who just want a plus one in their library - and yes, these types of members suck and it can feel disheartening when they win one of your GA's. However, there are numerous awesome members that selflessly give, some that regularly share and those that struggle but try to give when they can. I try to stay focused on the later group.)

question: can't find it in Description, but iirc, minimum duration of giveaway is 24 hours?
asking cause it seems to me that longer duration is not useful, i usually get the entries right away, in a few hours. i've also thought that longer giveaways could be useful to "fix problems" of invalid entries, but it still gets complicated, no matter how long is duration, to deal these probs...
(fixed two, rest of giveaways is ok, no probs!)

There is no 24 hours rule. I think at least 24 hours are nice for all timezones.
The problem of invalid entries is, at least that is my impression, mostly due to language problems, that people do not (fully) understand the rules.
Feel free to keep giveaways with invalid entries, and, "worst case", the user in question wins some more.

due to language problems
ouch. so it's a real problem, Oppen. really never thought about language being the cause. i might try adding a few lines of simple text in giveaway's Descriptions.
and yes, as usual: no problemo if you win "some" more :D
thanks a ton

Hey Myxpyx,
let's wait until your recently finished giveaways are marked received.

Hey,
as you won your 8th giveaway, you are no longer in UL7. Please leave all group giveaways you might still be entered in.
Have a nice day.

Hey, thank you guys. I have won my 8th game today :) I hope i will rejoin after few years as a gifter! Good luck everyone!
Comment has been collapsed.
Can I ask why I was kicked out of the group, although I would have gotten out anyway? Or are you kicking everyone who won their 8th game?
Comment has been collapsed.
We had a number of people not leaving willingly and abusing some wins lately, so I assume this is now the norm to kick every 8th winner.
Sorry about that.

Hey, sent a request on steam!
Would like to be a gifter for U7 if there is room for me :)
Cheers!

Gifters, please read the October 2023 information: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/XBsHs5q
A group for people that have won 7 or less games on steamgifts.
The idea is to help boost morale and help make things a bit more fair and friendly for everyone.
How to apply:
Rules of application normal membership:
(1a) Your steamgifts account needs to be at least 2 months old. (It has to say 2 months or more on your profile.)
screenshot on how to check join date
OR
(1b) In case your account is less than 2 months old -
you need to have 7 or more completed giveaways on steamgifts (You gave away 7 or more gifts of reduced or full value)
You need have won no more than 7 gifts on steamgifts (0-7 wins is ok, 8 or more will disqualify you).
You need to have your previous wins on steamgifts activated in YOUR account (steamgifts rule).
You are not a documented scammer (e.g steamrep)
It is your first time around on Steamgifts and you have not deleted your account in the past. There might be exception to this, talk to me (in a comment here). New rule April 2023.
Remember to sync your Steamgifts after being invited.
Once you've won 8 gifts or more -
You need to leave the group and remember to sync your Steamgifts. If you want to stay as a gifter, see below, request your promotion on Steam after your 8th win or ahead of time.
Gifter membership
Gifters create giveaways for group members.
Gifters can only enter 'open to gifters' giveaways and only IF they have a +7 gift difference in group. screenshot check yours here No description => not open to gifters!
Be at least level 3 on steamgifts
Have at least a give/sent ratio of 1:1 in numbers ignoring "no value games sent
4.1 If you have many recent giveaways of asset flip or similar games that are overpriced and just not yet set to zero value, you will probably be denied from being a gifter. If your only giveaways for UL7 are "overpriced trash" every couple of months, please change the quality of your giveaways or leave the group. Updated rule Jan 2024.
Make at least one GA per week in case your in-group gift difference is under +7 until you reach that mark
5.1 Create at least one group (exclusive or share) group giveaway every 6 months. If you create a lot of giveaways in general, but only exactly one UL7 giveaway each 6 months, please post a link in the giveaway thread on Steam, easier to find your last giveaway.
Must keep an in-group VALUE difference bigger than 0
Mention you want to be a gifter when you post below.
After you are in the group, check the threads & announcements (even the old ones) on Steam.

Group giveaway guide - when you create a giveaway and someone wins DON'T deliver gift until:
(unless it was open to gifters / multi group giveaway and the winner was from another group/whitelist)
If you request a new winner, because the winner is no longer in the group, ask for a screenshot first, so you have proof when he/she left the group.
When its time for you to leave the group:
FAQs
How do I sync my profile?
Like this
How do I check my steamgifts join date?
Like this
Can I enter to win a gift for my friend / family / brother / cousin / dog / pet gerbil?
Gifts have to be activated in your account. This is a steamgifts rule.
If your friends want to join, have them apply here.
You don't have to enter all group giveaways - Remember you only have up to 8 gifts so choose wisely!
Its actually much preferred if you only enter giveaways for games you actually want.
Can non gifters create giveaways for the group?
Regular members can also create group giveaways for each other. Actually this is encouraged.
Can I join the group as both gifter as normal member?
You can join the group as both, or become a gifter once you have won the gift quota.
I have more than 8 wins but not all wins are from the group, do I still have to leave?
Yes, the win count refers to your steamgifts account, it is not group specific.
I have to leave the group but still have ongoing group giveaways I am part of, can I still win those?
No, if you have to leave please exit all ongoing group giveaways you are a part of.
We get very angry when we have to perform dozens of re-rolls on people that left / were kicked from group days ago and still "win" group giveaways.
I am a gifter but have less than 8 wins on steamgifts, can I enter group giveaways for normal members?
yes, once you reach 8 or more wins you become a full 'gifter'. Until then you can enter all 'normal' group giveaways.
For gifters: Only enter group GAs, if the GA is "open to gifters" and your gift difference is >= +7. Please refrain from using UL7 GAs to store points.
