Duplicated giveaways

Closed

Anyone having trouble with giveaways being created twice, while you only made one?
I had this 2 times already, and that bothers me. Now I got a situation where there are two winners, but one copy.

Yes, it's clearly not your fault. I pray to the mighty support team for a fix/solution.
*I'm one of the winners.

Since both of us offered to give the other the game we're kind of in a bind. Hopefully support can resolve this for us.

Wouldn't work as you'd have either an unclaimed win or a bogus claim and either can lead to some problems.

Yes, I already did that. But I'm asking if anyone else got this same problem.

Its happened before, it isn't unique. They will remove one giveaway, so only the winner of the first created one will normally get a game.

Sorry to second dude.

Happens when the submit button is double clicked, or back button is used and resubmitted.

FWIW, SGv2 won't allow the exact same giveaway to be created from the same user within a certain time frame to prevent this.

Thanks, atervulpes. That's what I meant, but I just figured that out before I refreshed this page :P
