Yeah and risk a ban off Steam some random time in the future. GREAT idea.
.

OP - Don't do this.

.

Contact the giveaway maker and try to work it out with them so you get a key that works for you. And in the future, check to see if a game you are entering a giveaway for might have a regional restriction on it. I can't see where you live on your profile, but if, say, RU, you might not be able to activate all your ROW or NA wins.

Yea, he's right. Better don't use it if you don't want to get ban.

VPN using it's illegal and you can be banned for using that. Ask that guy if he has another key, if he doesn't, I GUESS you can mark it as not received, because region-locked keys are restricted.

I think he was wrong by giving away a region locked key.

This happened to me with Magicka. I reported it through the Support link above, and all SG could do was delete the giveaway and tell me "Sorry for your non-win."

If you're getting that error, the key is region-locked. And thus the giver is breaking SG rules.
