This probably a really common question, so I apologize. I didn't see anything in the FAQ about it.

So I made a giveaway and it ended. I sent the gift to the winner, and he got it but hasn't confirmed that he received the game. I can see that it was removed from my inventory and it's on their account right now. How long should I wait before I file a support ticket with steamgifts?

maybe you should try to remind him to mark it as received first

I already put a reminder to do this along with the gift when I sent it, but I will try.

That's for people waiting to RECEIVE the gift. He already got it from me, and didn't give feedback.

There's no information in the FAQ about how long I should wait.

It ended 8 hours ago. They have a week to respond. It's sucky, and not too cool... but he has 7 days.

If you're already impatient after eight hours, you have a long way to go!

Nonono, that's for people waiting to RECEIVE the gift. There's no information anywhere about users who already got it but neglected to give the proper feedback.

It's the same.

If you don't want to believe us, keep searching for yourself or contact support. I'll never understand why people ask questions then tell the people who have answered "YOU'RE WRONG!".

Well that's what it says in the FAQ. You're welcome to read it yourself.

Really, the FAQ states "This only applies to people receiving gifts and not those waiting for feedback. Rather than telling you the time period for that, we'll make you search!"? Common sense would have helped, but not many people have it nowadays.

Contact support and ask them since the correct answer is "wrong" in your eyes.

I don't want to contact support yet if it's too early. The question I have asked here is how long I should wait. Thanks for your replies. Good day.

It's still 7 days for you too. All you can do is give a friendly reminder.

You should probably have contacted support rather than letting it sit for 9 months.

They would have done something, but I doubt they will now given the amount of time that has passed.

Regardless of how it happened, ignoring the issue isn't going to fix it.

Contact the people who can do something or live with it.

I think he means that the game was marked as received, but now 9 months later, the winner has changed it from received to not received.
