Hi there,

My question is pretty simple but I want to know your opinion about it.

Do you guys think its fair to let VAC banned users (whatever the reason is) win games and/or register on this website ?

To me I would say: It's stupid and they should not be able to participate on this website. If they got VAC banned, there was a reason that was against ToS of Steam, therefore, should not be able to win anything here and/or register on steamgifts.com

I know that a lot of games does not use the VAC system but still.. I think only LEGIT users deserve to win/reigster here.

What do you think about it ?

PS: I ask this question because my giveaway ended today and the winner of Alice: Madness Return is a VAC banned user.

You're pretty far on this list.

I think one offense, no. There are many reported cases of the system screwing up, and Valve cannot reverse the ban. If 2 VAC bans, then they definitely shouldn't be able to win a game.

I'm not sure whether Support would sanction a re-roll for this. I suspect not, but you could always give it a try.

Ultimately, if you really have an issue with the winner, you remain at liberty to take the "not received" strike and not give them the game, whether or not Support approve a re-roll.

Since they can't run a program to cheat for wins here, it shouldn't matter a jot. As long as the game is enjoyed by the winner, that is all that should matter.

What does cheating in a game have to do with wanting to win and/or give a game away to someone on this site ?

What does it have to do.. simple logic.

A cheater/hacker (you name it) ruins legit players experience.
Why should they receive free games ? To ruin the experience of other players again ?

You may put that condition in private or groups giveaways, after asking the mods for permission. In public giveaways? Nope.

Anyways, one of the older SG's users with a huge contributor value had a VAC ban in his account. Should he be banned from winning anything?

I don't see the problem with someone that acutally contribute here.

What bugs me is new account registered here, with less than 50 participations, VAC ban status and still get away with free games.

Any way, the guy will still receive the gift, I'm not requesting a new winner. I just wanted to know your opinions about giving away free games to cheaters.

It's clear now, nobody care.
Let them play!

Honestly I couldnt care less if someone is VAC banned on SG. It's a little different when I'm trading (a matter of trust), but here it doesnt matter even a little to me.
