Winning is just matter of pure luck.
Enter ga with less entries to make chances better or enter just things you really want for bigger chance for game that you actually want to play ;p
Anyway - keep entering and you will win something sooner or later.
Also check groups (like unlucky-7), look for ga's in forums (usually less entries) and puzzles on forums (much less entries - but you have to solve puzzle first).

300 entries for your first win is not uncommon at all. Trying to enter giveaways in the forums usually will give you a greater chance so I would suggest looking there or joining groups to increase your chance of winning your first game on SG. Best of luck!

Took me 800 entries to get my first win. Be patient, it will happen eventually.
As for the games you've given - don't see it as a trade. It's really not. It can be about enjoying giving other people something to make them happy. Or about putting leftover keys to at least some use before they rot in a text file. Or maybe about enjoying to level up on the site, and therefore getting access to high-level giveaways. But you shouldn't see it as a mere trade of games. That's not what it is. Seeing it as that will only disappoint you.
Welcome to the site and thank you so much for your contributions! You made a nice surprise for 22 people. Isn't that something? :)

winning here isn't worth much anyway. it can rarely be that type of game you're looking to play.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know. That's why I said its rare. The ones you are looking for are being sought out by others as well. In my experience, I only got 2 or 3 good games in my 1 year of daily use of this website.

Please check the games that I've won on this site.
There are many AAA games and worth playing indies. It's all about luck and the kind of gibs one is entering.

you can do research, hide stuff but unless you are in a group or special invite you will get only public giveaways and those will always have thousand of entries. So you either win one game every 2-3 years that you really want or join everything.

It depends a lot on what you're entering. For most things the odds of winning are 1 in a few thousand. Just keep at it, you'll win something eventually. You could try and join groups to increase your odds or focus on giveaways with level requirements.

People always so impatient. Also, the community is supposed to be about giving more than expecting to win. I've won more as I gave more, but it's all about the community in the end, not winning games.
In any event, if you're thinking about leaving then it's cool, better chance the rest of us winning. ;)

You've only been here for 2 weeks give it time, like many have already said 300 giveaways entered is really not enough to be discouraged by not winning especially if there was a lot of entries. Even people who win a lot often have given more than they won. Just be patient and try to find giveaways with less entries and as you level up you'll get better odds.
Welcome to SteamGifts and happy holidays:)

You will win once eventually.

My condolences that you've had such a hard time on this site.
I mean, sure, you've won Torment: Tides of Numenera, Owlboy, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Satellite Reign, Fallout 3 GOTY, The Walking Dead...
But it's hard to get too excited about those, I guess, when mysterious forces are compelling you to enter giveaways for "bundled games worth $0.5."
I hope things get better for you.

If you enter low-level public giveaways your chances to win will be low. There is a ton of private giveaways in this forum with better chances to win and you can join groups where you will get better odds. Since you didn't got single win you can join Unlucky 7, very cool group for unlucky people. Also there is Playing Appreciated group, you can apply there, they demand for you to play your wins which is not very difficult requirement lol. And of course be patient, i got my first win in a month after joining, its normal.

Join groups/whitelist and you have a higher chance of winning.
took me 1200 giveaways before I got my first. Then I started joining groups, trains and puzzles.
Now I have:
2086 giveaways entered
16 gift won
19 gift sent
1,19 ratio (3,2 real value ratio)

Only 342 entries? It takes rime, my friend. Time, patience and RNG luck.
5 years here for me, 43,522 entries and only 204 wins.
Then again, that's 203 more than I expected to have. :P
I've been sitting on an 8 fewer wins all year.
I suggest applying for Unlucky 7.

It is called mathematics. If the average chance of winning a low-level giveaway is around 1:1500, then you need to enter around 1500 of them, on average, to arrive at a statistically high chance of winning one.
Granted, I had a winner who registered a few minutes before, had his very first entry on the site, and won.

Damn! Now THAT'S some TRULY dumb luck. :P
Wonder how many more he won after.
