even if you get a reroll you gotta gift the game to someone so buy it anyway with the gift option so you can send it to the GA winner through steam.

You haven't been able to store gifts in your inventory for gifting later for years.

You can't buy games to get as gifts in your inventory anymore, that got ended years ago.
Now you can only gift by choosing the receiver and then buy it.

how long has it been? that's still 3 days away and i know it varies all the time, but rerolls and deletions for me usually only take a day or two.

my room ended yesterday and the discount at the steam store ended on the 16th, the winner's SG account was not online since 6 days ago and when I contacted him through his steam account there was no response, he locked the comment column on his steam profile, so I tried to write in the game ScreenShoot him

Also don't think you can re-roll within 7 days of the giveaway ending unless the winner accepts that and you have proof of it (usually the winner then writes it in the giveaway itself)
Meaning you have to wait for the 7 days, ask for a re-roll and add proof of that you tried to contact then and then you wait for a moderator to re-roll it for you.

Yes I know about that rule, I've tried everything I can to contact the winner but to no avail

Winners have 7 days to respond and activate a gift. You will not be granted a re-roll before that time, even if the winner is not responding to you. Even if you do get a re-roll you could have to wait up to 7 days for the next winner to activate the game.

The real lesson here, is buy a key for the game you wish to giveaway, and don't gift directly from Steam - especially during a sale.

Yes, I already knew about the rules, before this problem occurred, some of the GAs I made had no problems.😞😞😥😢

Thanks for he info 😄 I also had to reroll, but that's more because I didn't understand how the region exclusion worked ><.
So just one more day to wait, then I think 😄. Btw i send the key, but they said we can't activate. So i "unsend" it. Does that matter for the system at all or not? 😊

It does, because now you can no longer be sure that the key is still valid. In theory, your key could be used now. Based on that uncertainty, I got denied rerolls in the past in a similar situation. Only solution then was to delete the giveaway with winners permission.

well yeah. OR... buy new key for the new winner if it doesn't work I guess. I'm hoping people are nice in the Christmas spirit. If not, I'll arrange a new key for the new winner 😄

oeh btw, do you get a message about it? If it is denied? atm I'm just hoping to re-roll tomorrow since it would be 7 days further.

I don't think they will reroll for you if you forgot to set region restrictions because the new winner could have the same problem.

The winter sale starts in 9 days and probably it's gonna be on sale again... If the winner didn't respond for 4 days maybe they won't mind waiting 6 more...

Also, if the winner contacts you after the 16th, you can simply apologize, explain what happened and ask the winner to mark the giveaway as "Not received". I do not think this will create problems for you in the future. I hope not, because I have had to tell a a winner to do that for one of my giveaways.

If 7 days pass and the winner does not contact you, I THINK you can ask that the contest be deleted because the key is no longer available? Someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm or "debunk" that?
