I registered and voted yesterday and was able to get the key today. It was sent to me less than a minute after clicking the second email link. Of course, now I have to figure out what to do with my Civ 5 giftable copy and Civ 5 Gold key that I never got around to using. I just can't seem to pass a good deal!

I waited 20 hours before getting mine. I also had the Oops! you haven't voted message. I read above that re-clicking the verification email from helpdesk would get them to send it. It worked for me.

Is your 'thanks for voting' mail the one that has a link to click? If so, try clicking it again now. It should be from helpdesk GMG.

The header of the email I mean says - Thank you from Green Man Gaming and Golden Joysticks. The text of the mail says Redeem your FREE Game! Below that is a green link. If you don't have that email, I'm not sure what you should do. The email was sent by : helpdesk@greenmangaming.com The link should say https://goldenjoysticks.greenmangaming.com followed by 20 or more random letters and numbers.

I don't have any mail from that adress... the mail I mentioned was from no-reply@goldenjoysticks.com. Here I write what I was done by step by step:

  1. I was go here
  2. I was go to register here and voted in around 5 categories before this site has go down.
  3. Then I recive that mail I was write above.
  4. After that I was go here and got error with matrix text.

So I didin't recive any mail from helpdesk@greenmangaming.com, in this fact I was registered on wrong page?

Okay, that email only comes after you have completed your step 4. The error message is preventing you from going further. Are you sure your votes counted(there should be check marks by the categories), and are you sure your information in step 4 is all correct?

I'm 100% sure that votes was writed because I was checked the Golden Joystick site around 2 PM CET (when it was worked) and it was a list of my voted games and link to GMG Golden joystick site with game choosing. Also I'm not quite sure about writing an account details from GMG - I use my login from GMG and when I was writing an password I write the same from GMG password twice - without password it need to be completed and it don't want go to next window.

Did you use the same email for your CVG account and your GMG account?

I use an gmail mail to register on CVG (and this one I write on step 4) site and I have a different mail on GMG site (polish hosting on wp.pl). The spam from GMG site with vouchers I recived well.

EDIT - ok I got an e-mail from helpdesk@greenmangaming.com, I use an e-mail from GMG account (wp.pl) - now I have information about Looks like you haven’t voted yet.) In this fact I need to change mail on CVR to that wp.pl one?

I think they both have to be the same email for it to work. You could try changing your GMG email to match the CVG, and once you have your game, you could change it back.
