My giveaway winner is suspended , and 1 week remaining for his suspension.The giveaway ended yesterday, so he cannot mark my giveaway as recieved. What should i do, because i already checked the send button, maybe he sees the key. If i ask for reroll maybe my key is used by him, if i dont ask for reroll, my giveaway not marked as recieved within 1 week.

Better wait if you already sent the key. I had a similar case but I had to wait a month for that suspension to end.

I guess the question is, was he suspended when the key was sent?

If he's suspended for the 7 days he has time to activate, i believe you could ask for a reroll if you want. Or you could wait, it's up to you i guess.

You can add winner on steam and he can mark it later. But I would say, he did something really bad for being banned for a week. Do you think he deserves the gift

You might also check with a mod to see what type of suspension it is, if it involves cheating or bots it might hold more weight and taint the win;
as opposed to some sort of social blunder.

You can see when he was online last time, just keep your mouse on last online date.
you could ask for a reroll too AFAIK

Suspended people can be online too. Probably can't do much, but they do count as online.

Probably can't do much

You can see nothing after your account suspended but a page which include your suspension reason(s) and when your suspension will be ended!.

-from my own personal experience :3

  1. The user most probably got a 10 day suspension for violating two rules. The suspension ends on Jan 31st at 1:43 pm (GMT +1). So if you made the key visible after Jan 21st 1:43 pm (GMT +1), it's very probable he didn't see the key.
  2. Please check before sending out your gifts for violations of the rules. It's very easy nowadays using SGTools, there even is a add-on that adds links to that tool on the profile pages for easy checking.
  3. He actually owns the game already for more than 1 year and (in my opinion) the user shouldn't have entered for that small and apparently useless DLC anyway. Maybe the user even would have asked for a reroll since he already owns the game

Please , for your future giveaways, check if you really want to give that game to the winner. To be fair, if you really don't care who gets it and only want to make sure it's marked correctly, just wait till he comes back from suspension

Maybe you can make a reroll ticket asking support if they know whether the user logged in between the time you made the key visible and the user was suspended.

i would check his steam profile and see if he already redeemed your gift, if not then i would ask for a re-role.
