I got no additional giveaway tickets and am guessing when my current giveaway end, ill be given just 1 more open giveaway to use.

This is pissing me off since instead of doing 1 giveaway with several copies i thought id like to make many giveaways of the same game instead but i cannot do that due to the limitations of the amount of giveaways that im allowed to make during one time and will cause me to not make any further giveaways.

Help me help you. Thank you for any kind of help, suggestions, ideas.

Why do you want to create several separate giveaways of the same game? The "multiple copies" feature is there for everyone's convenience, especially yours :S

its about probability and odds. i like to make more giveaway with 1 copy in each since it changes all the math.
theres a Huge diffrance between making 1 giveaway with multiple copies and multiple giveaways with each copy.
if you think that theres no diffrance then you do not understand math the way i do.

Send in a support ticket to add more giveaway slots. The reason you only have 1 available is because you deleted 2 giveaways. You start with 3, but deleted giveaways permanently decrease the amount. I think you get an additional slot for every 3 successful giveaways.

i only joined yesterday so it took some testing to figure out how some things works and it gave me the FAQ link after i revoked the giveaway so i spent some reading time. i thank you for your reply but i belive that 3 slots are far less than im hoping for, 5 would be a good starting point. i just want to give away games under the terms that i feel comfortable with, the rules of my choosing. after few calculations in my head i realized that multiple games within one giveaway is bad both for me and for the participants. Look at it from this way. if you got a giveaway with 4000 entrants then it does not matter how many copies you got in there and it will discurage any small timer but if you split them up and the entrants are also divided (since they will have to spend more points than they would have on a single giveaway with many copies) then the participant will have a favorite of his own, one of which he might want to join among the several ones. After all, its nothing but a lottery kinda system/fun so why not make the most of it under our terms?

Like I said, if you send in a support ticket, they can manually increase the number of giveaway slots that you have. It may take a couple of days, but eventually they'll get to you. That way you can have enough slots to make giveaways however you want.

The registration date is when you attempted to create an account here but might not have completed the process due to not having $100 worth of games. It's possible that the OP tried making an account 7 months ago, failed, and only just yesterday rejoined.

Just so you know, you don't get to make the rules in these giveaways, the system chooses a winner and you have to give him the gift if he doesn't already own the game. You can have some rules in private giveaways, but they have to of course be reasonable and support approved.

So basically, you want to give people better odds of winning? Just create private/group giveaways, you'll save yourself a lot of time lol.

no, ill still need to wait for one to end before i can start the next one, one giveaway at a time is not good enough and having 3 is just as bad when you have to wait for the previous one to complete by the winner to actually click himself to redeemed before the next giveaway can be created.

the odds of winning does not improve for them, just the illusion of it

I'm aware of that, but I still fail to understand why you would want to give people the illusion of better odds? They'll appreciate your giveaways no matter what :P
