I joined a few days later after joining steam. I thought this site was a scam... until I won my first giveaway, then I gave away couple games to get minimum of 30.01 CV in order to join better giveaways. It all went down (or up?) hill from there.

Oh, the first win, when you go O_O THIS WORKS and start planning, and realize you need to give to get more, and you finally see the point of giving because the site woooorks :D + really great feeling to actually find a legit site. The community came through as a bonus :)

I can't remember what I answered the last time for this question, so this time I'll say it was for the community. I don't really visit other game-related forums, or other international communities (I only read twitter), so I was surprised to find such a nice place =)

To leech, especially for games already own so regifting will be possible.

Simple, when i see free games, i enter.
Well at the first time i registered on this website my steam value is under the requirement soo i waited and when i reach the requirement, i begin to leech. But then i feel pretty bad, so i gave away a few little games too.

I originally found this site only because I wanted to trade. Then I saw that it has giveaways too, so I was like: Why not participate and win some games too? So, I participated in some giveaways, and I hardly ever won. xD Most of my wins are recent. :P I didn't come here neither with the intention to win games, nor with the intention to give games. But I decided to it eventually. :P

To meet girls.
If you want to know the real reason, here it is on a recent thread on this topic.

I joined Steamgifts cause I had a bunch of keys to games that I either had no interest in using or couldn't use since I already had them. Many of the games I had extra copies of, I absolutely loved and was really saddened that no one I know had any much interest in playing games cause I would have loved being offered them for free and I think others would feel the same way, so I looked around for some site where I could give them away and so, here I am here. Basically I was looking for a good home for my games and the site fit my interest,
I still stick around to hear of deals and win games (though I haven't won something I'd REALLY want, but maybe I'll get lucky) and this site gives me something to do when I take a bus or I'm on a break.

I'd won a worms game from that 2011 coal event thing, i didnt want it, my friends didnt want it, trading had just launched and was a crap(pier) product so we wouldnt have been able to pull it off anyway, heard about steamgifts, planned to just give away that one game, thought this website was the best lottery ever, stayed around.

For the gift of winning that turned into the gift of giving. Also met some nice friends here :)

This is the first time I actually cared to make a post in the discussions, been a SG user for nearly a year but either way, hey there c:
So I was wondering why did you guys joined SG; many seem to be leechers (no offense, nice people too c: ) or try to, but most just seem to be just around to give away stuff out of good will, so tell me why did you join?
Personally, I joined SG as soon as I met the requirements to as this is one of my ways to be able to get games here in my country, for steam I mean, the other would be trading cards, usually here too, as I don't own a credit card, getting it in my country is pretty difficult actually, so I don't really have a steam wallet, and even if I did, inflation in my country is out of control, making games really unaffordable, no steam retail games around either, so honestly, most of gamers around here reccur to piracy, I preferred finding a clever way to get my games and be part of a great community as any gamer should be able to, and well, looking for that way, I ended up here, I hardly get games often, nor the ones I'm particularly looking for, but with a lot of effort around and a little luck (and enough cards lol) I manage to get certain games every now and then c:
So what's your story then?
