Before i started to contribute some games, i was a regular leech, i won only crap key for hacker evo and 1 copy of Faerie solitaire from 25k giveaway.
It was about 700 entries and 2 wins.
Then i contributed a game and after it i suddenly won another! After this, few days later i contributed another one and few days later i won one more game! Is it a gifts cycle :D? Or it is justice?

Do you have the same thing?

Yea but thats with only 1 public one where he had less than 100% of winning... Being in privates or groups greatly increases your chance...

I only see Children of the Nile as the only public one without 100% win chance. Faerie Solitaire had more prizes than entrants --> 100% win chance.

Nope. Everyone has an equal chance of winning. So it's just karma in your case :P

Justice? I think you mean karma. And no, it's pure chance. The contributor system does give you better odds at winning, though. If you're a contributor anyway.

Contributor giveaways are sort of like enforced karma; if you give you get a better chance to receive. I didn't win anything for months and this weekend I've won 3 contributor giveaways. Awesomesauce.

Contributing increases the chance of everyone, because there are more giveaways to win. :)

Actually, as contributing means you don't get any points from your contribution and other people do, and there is one less giveaway for you to enter, your own, you actually slightly lower your chances of winning a giveaway overall.

If you're looking strictly at that giveaway, then you haven't lowered your chance in any way compared to not making the giveaway, since you obviously wouldn't have made gotten any points or been able to enter that giveaway had you not made it.

But looking at all the giveaways (it's enough to look at two from different people), they increase the chance of people to win.

If contributors are entering contributor only giveaways, then their chances of winning are dramatically increased. (By the nature of having less people in the giveaway, say 100 people instead of 1200.)

If they only entered the public giveaways, their chances would be the same as non-contributors.
