When someone opens a gifting thing for people to win, is there just one copy of that game to win out of the 100's who enter? Or is there multiple copies to be won?

I've entered in almost 100 things and I haven't won anything yet. How often do you generally win something?

Just one unless it says otherwise in the name of the giveaway.

Just picking some games off the front page as an example.

One Copy

Two Copies

Three Copies

Four Copies

And so I and so forth, I think the most copies I've ever seen in a giveaway was around 30, but I have no idea if there is a limit or not.

If it doesn't say like (2 copies) in the name of the giveaway, then you can only get one game from it. And how often you get a game depends on your luck and the number of people entering it. I won a giveaway after 150 times, and I won a fake one too after about 100 more tries.

You generally win once every 1000+ entries. Yes that's one thousand, not one hundred. Some win more often some not at all.

You're profile says that you entered only 33, no where near 100.

Remember that these are copies of games, that are bought and given away by users just like you. Unless it says different, it's gonna be a roll for one game.

The giveaway title usually points out how many copies are there to be won by the contestants. When it doesn't, it's only one.

If you wanted people to win things more often, then give something back :) Your gift will become someone else's prize. Pay it forward, brother!

From a statistical standpoint with the current 0.2% chance of winning a public gift, you need to enter about 750 entries before you have a 50% chance of winning a giveaway within that timeframe.

So yes the fact that you've entered 100 and not won isn't surprising statistically.
