I think it would be a fun update and allow for some strategy in entering for games if SG would allow us to use our points to enter for a game more than 1 time.

For exmample: A game is listed for 30 points. I have 105 points. I'm able to dump 90 points into the listing, therefore entering me 3 times. I'm left with 15 points.

A simple drop down would be provided next to the "Enter to Win!" button letting you select 1 to 10, with 10 being the max allowable entries you can make. If you have the points, upon clicking the "Enter to Win!", you will be entered for the game.

Just a fun idea. Would let us dump our points for a greater chance to win at our discretion.

Everyone would just use all his points (300p) in each giveaway he enters to have the highest chance possible. It's not hard to wait until you got another 300 points, so it wouldn't really change anything.

"That wouldn't be fair"

Pfft, it'd be the same fair it is now; everybody gets the exact same amount of points. Everybody would have the option to enter one giveaway ten times or enter ten giveaways one time each.

On the other hand it could be argued that with this rule, there'd be a bigger chance of the winner being someone who actually wants the game and not someone who blindly enters everything because hey, the points are free and are coming in faster than I can spend them!

But I think it really wouldn't change much (except for the number of entries on the giveaways) because points are coming in fast enough that you could still enter a lot of giveaways ten times...

I don't get why people want to "merge" sites ...
Having 2 (or more) sites is not good enough for you? Use 1 or more or none. You can choose whatever you want ...

I like the idea! You really cannot equate it with Galagiveaways. There ist a 10-entries-restriction and 300P-max-restriction.
The fortune you gain here,
you will loose on another. It's like Gainja said above. Overall-Fairness wouldn't be damaged ...but AAA-Titles would be stormed probably.

Why is everyone saying it'd be like GalaGiveaways? Incorrect. GalaGiveaways only has the Extra Odds option on some giveaways, not all. Besides, why would it have to be a max on 10 entries here? Could be less, say 5.

I like the idea, assuming it's an option enabled by the giveaway creator, the same way group or contributor giveaways are. Some people like "one entry per person" but as a contributor I prefer it when the winner actually wants the game. This system would favour those actually interested in the game. I understand why people oppose it, but I think if it's up to the person giving away the game it's hard to have a problem with it.
