Actually, it's even better to win 10 good games in a month, yeah.

No, you actually won 3 this week. Weeks begin on a Sunday, if I'm correct. And today is Monday so you won only 3.
Now, if you said you won 9 in A week, then you would be correct.

Ah, so according to your country, he's won less games THIS week. :P

While I won't argue Australia being special, Australia actually adheres to ISO 8601, and has Monday as the official start of their week. :)
On the other hand, if we want to muddle up the Saturday/Sunday/Monday week-start uncertainty a bit more, we can factor in the fact that some calendars (ie, Hindu) start days at sunrise, rather than midnight. :P

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
It is like this on calendars also.
Is my entire life a lie?

Classic Jewish and Christian calendars utilized Sunday (the day of light) as the start of the week and Saturday (shabbat, the day of rest) as the end of the week. Later, Christianity changed Sunday to be the Christian day of rest, but the calendar structure didn't change.
Following that, the concept of the two-day weekend emerged, and the weekend became associated with the end of the week. International standards (which America so rarely pays any attention to) went with a Monday-first system because it makes the most sense given how the week has become structured in most countries, due to the fact that China and Slavic nations have traditionally always started the week with Monday, and perhaps even due to the fact that such an arrangement more properly fits the placement Christians associate with the day.
America presumably ends up sticking to the format due to its usual stubborn fundamentalism, and Canada may being do such simply because America is its biggest trading partner and it's simpler to keep it that way. North America is hardly alone in the usage, however, as it's prevalent through the Americas (see attached)- though, on the other hand, it's only seen in a few places outside of the Americas. Given that, there's not really any pressure for any nation in the Americas to adopt ISO 8601.

This is actually wrong as in Ireland it starts on Sunday as well

I mean, you seem to have the inside scoop on that, so I don't have grounds to assert otherwise.. but everything I can find online indicates that Monday is both the official start for Ireland and, according to polls on the Irish websites I found discussing it, it's the start of the week by public opinion, as well. From what I can gather, Ireland adopted ISO 8601-equivalent standards back in 1993. Honestly though, the difficulty in finding a reliable answer on that only highlights how tricky determining and adjusting to different start of the week days can be.
Of course, I think what's most interesting is that such a determination (based around such arbitrary considerations) is actually in a position to have any relevance at all. It's a lot more mechanically intuitive to utilize an inherently standardized "7 days between x and y" consideration, especially given that the OP's sign-up date and time is on file, and the fact that there are sites available to easily calculate out the time elapsed between two dates.

I have been surprised as well to have won a few public giveaways lately.
Perhaps it's the recent fanatical bundles that diluted the bot votes?
Because since I have most games filtered out, I don't really feel the public gibs are out of reach anymore.
Most giveaways that I'd usually see at 800-1500 entries are now between 300-700.

Well, some of us actually do have standards when it comes to games we play and own. I could have won a LOT more games if I was entering for such kind of games. The lucky ones are the ones winning good/high quality games or at least games they're interested to and intend to play at some point.
