I joined about one week ago and I got one game! One in 371 entries, I suppose I was lucky.
One of my friends got 1 game in many years, but his wife got 15. You should keep trying. I guess I'll be keeping my wishlist updated.

I started getting wins after I found the Puzzles thread. More work, but better odds. ;)

I don't think the steamgifts staff are capable of bending the laws of probability.

Kindly remember that this site is called 'Steamgifts' and its primary function is for people to give game gifts to others. You are able to enter the giveaways for free, but contributing does not mean you are owed fast wins. Giving your unwanted games to those who may want them is a kind gesture, but your entries will always be worth '1'.

The only foolish part of this equation is creating a pointless thread because you didn't within a game within a mere 2 weeks. The site is not misleading you, however you may have misled yourself. If you do not enjoy the equal chances of winning with every other giveaway entrant, then perhaps you may be better served saving your unwanted bundled games and looking into trades, not gift raffles.

Yes. Your understanding of statistics is a joke.

I won 1 giveaway per ~405 entries. And I am level 7.

As others mentioned, your case is not unusual.
You can see more statistics here: https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/personal/community

I myself only won crappy games from crappy mass giveaways in the first few months of being here.
Once I started joining groups (your level is 4, so you should be able to join quite a few), everything changed - and I started winning games I actually liked and wanted to play.

As others have mentioned, Unlucky7 is a good group to join as a new member.
I'm a guest gifter there, and the games there are pretty good (AAA sometimes) and giveaways have few entries.

When you're a bit more experienced, you can check out more advanced group, like mine:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/woEqN/quality-games-giveaways-qgg-group-now-with-a-holiday-game
Where the rules are much more strict, but you have a real chance to win the most wishlisted games on this site.

Heh. Once I participated in ~30 group giveaways with 15-20 entries and didn't win a single xD
