I've read somewhere that your level, slightly, increase your chance of winning giveaways, is that true?
If it is true, is there a way to create giveaways where everyone have the exact same chance of winning?
Generally speaking, the ones who give away games for $1000+ are more likely to afford buying the games they want and i would very much prefer that no one have an advantage if i create giveaways.

Stay safe and thankful for answers!

Everyone has the same chance of winning.

The only thing your level does is allow you to enter giveaways that have a minimum level requirement.

Actually, not.
Your level, number of giveaways you created/won have no influence on your chance, it's always equal for all participants.
On the other hand, someone may create a giveaway that is available only for users of Level 5 or higher (for example) which means everyone who don't have this level yet would not be able to participate. And less participants means higher chances for everyone.
I mean, when there is 1'000 participants in a giveaway, everyone have a 1/1000 (0.1%) chance of winning. But if I limit availability of this giveaway for people with higher levels it means only 200 people would be able to enter which increases the chance by 5 times to 1/200 (0.5%).
But it's still equal for every participant.

You may also be interested in these stat pages. You can see how many users there are at each level here and you can see how many giveaways have ever been created for each level here. As you can see, there are less users at each higher level which means less entries per giveaway, but there are also less giveaways created, so you may not necessarily win more giveaways just because you are a higher level user.

I am level 7 and my last 5 wins had no level restriction. You will have much better odds of winning in invite only, group, and whitelist giveaways since these will have way less entries compared to public giveaways.

Also, if you use the reply button under a comment, it will send your reply to the user. Otherwise they won't know that you responded unless they come back and check the thread again. It also keeps the conversations in the thread more organized :)

You can have more chances of victories, perhaps, with the puzzles...
