I went through my humble bundle purchases because I always forget that they usually add games later and I found out I have bunch of unused keys for games I own. I created gift links and made bunch of giveaways here, some ended, supposedly fine because they were received and marked as ok, I don't know if all were redeemed but I noticed at least 1 was, but then today 3 giveaways ended and apparently all have issue saying it was redeemed, I tried 3 ongoing giveaway keys myself and same thing, so I deleted them.
I contacted humble bundle because I just made the gift links week ago when I started making giveaways, I don't know how it could have been redeemed because besides me I only put the link on steamgift so no one had access to it, unless they keys expired somehow but it hasn't been that long.. Anyone got idea, or had this happened? I found few instances on google but I'm not sure... Annoying

Sometimes even if you revealed and redeemed a key, it goes back to hide them (at least for me), so that's pretty annoying. Only other two options left are 1) the keys were already dupes or 2) your account has been compromised. Good luck though, normally Humble Support is very forthcoming from my experience.

Happened to me the other day. I just uncovered a game to get the key and then when I refreshed it was covered again. I had to fresh several times for it to show it was uncovered. I think it might have to do with an adblocker or an issue with the cookies, cache, and history needing to be cleared.

Exactly.

Happens to me all the time but in a reliable fashion: it goes into hiding again; Then i need to reload/re-reveal the same key. I double check if the code is the same.
From there on any new reload is properly updated with it shown as revealed.

I think there was a thingy a while ago about people or bots being able to guess/brute force Humble gift link addresses and redeeming them?

That's what I came upon too but I literally made them into gifts less than a week ago when I started making the giveaways, had around 10 keys to give and now seems like half of them are redeemed. My first thought was someone, through a single gift key got into others but I don't know if and how that's possible.
Waiting for HB support, if nothing comes out of that I'll just delete the giveaways :/

Same here. I had about 20 gift links from humble bundle (nothing important or considerable was left behind)...
Most of them was created in one month ago I think. The latest was two weeks ago.
All of them was "redeemed" last friday. I opened a ticket in the same day, let's see how they handle this issue.

Contacted humble bundle and got it solved, they said apparently someone got into my account and redeemed the games himself (.ru address) but I doubt he got into the account itself just the page, even tho I'm 50% sure it was claimed, because only the games from that bundle got redeemed and I had bunch more which I'll give away soon.
All's well anyway! HB support is great
