I made a script that can calculate the odds of winning and enters to giveaway only based on criteria (entries, remaining time, game points and available points).
He did not make flood or consume the bandwidth of SG server because he executes a request every 30 min and enters to giveaways only if myPoints >= gamePoints and gamePoints >= x points (this statement helps to avoid the cheap games).

Is it legal to use this type of script ?

P.S
I did not say that I've used or I will use this script. Just wondering if it is legal as long as it behaves exactly as a user.

Yes, it is 'legal' just frowned up on because you are so lazy you can't be bothered to manually enter for a chance at a free game.

So am I, but you don't see me complaining about it or making scripts. Enter giveaways when you have the time. You don't need to enter everything, all the time.

TL;DR my posts: I think it's unnecessary and I disapprove of the idea.

let's be honest though, if you even have such a thing, you would use it anyway after you already made it and not ask after

If you make it only enter for giveaways of games that you actually want, then I see nothing all that wrong with it, it is just saving time and effort.

If you are just mass entering everything you can, then I disapprove personally, but I'm not sure this is actually prohibited.

Glad you understand the purpose of this script. The expensive games will stop the script to try to enter if, as i said myPoints < targetedGamePoints

erm - botting even on SG? I mean c'mon... You're so busy you cannoteven enter site once a day to spend points? and if you meanlike "entering short-time giveaways why I'm off the computer" - then for me it's a big NO-NO, as this way you gain unfair advantage over other users.

Unfair advantage ? I don't think so. Check my profile to see how many games i won in 1 year.

YOU'VE WON MORE GAMES THAN FUCKING COMMENTS YOU HAVE.

How can you have the cheek to complain?

And if you are trolling, good job. You irritated me.

He's done some pretty cool giveaways, seems a bit classless to call him a leecher.

I don't care about the giveaways he's done. 15 comments in a year and many of them here is still being a leecher.

There's no fair reason to justify using a script as being fair to those who choose not to use it and miss out on entering giveaways because of work, school etc.

It's just not fine at all.

Well, the problem with a script is that unlike(most) humans it lacks the brain to know if you want a game or not(or if it's a DLC for a game which you don't have), so there are some moral issues with entering randomly just because "the odds are better". You can win something that you don't want while other people who entered really wanna play it. So... yeah... why am I even explaining this? You've been here for an year, you should know that already. -.-
