How Do I Congratulate the Winner of My GIveaway?

Open

I want to congratulate the male, female, or non-binary person who won my giveaway! I see their username, but I don't see an option to DM or custom-website-email them.

Is it possible to congratulate the winner of your giveaway(s)?

There is no such an option to directly send message to people on this site. You don't need tho. Good thinking actually but even if you do somehow they won't care. It's enough to make giveaways if you ask me.

As far as i know they don't but we don't need that. Why do you want? Is there a reason other than congrats them?

One reason could be to send codes for other sites (like gog) without posting on old giveaways (since that is still public) or share giveaway invites with specific people without using whitelist.
I guess you could use steam for that but I've heard of cases where you could banned for mentioning steamgifts

I don't know about that. I know I would appreciate and think it's kind of the giver to congratulate me. I don't think it's fair to say everyone wouldn't care. There are good hearted people that absolutely would appreciate the kind words.

You can leave a comment on their comment if they say thanks in your giveaway; any of their own giveaways, or find a thank you message of theirs on one of their wins. They'll get a notification about all 3 options.

I handle it in a way that when they thank me for the game, I congratulate them for winning it. (and if they don't thank me, they'll get a spot on my blacklist)

Nope, can't do, whitelist has only 1000 spots, and I used to do way too many giveaways to fit them all in ;P
