you can't. No such feature yet. you can create invite only giveaway & give link to people who you think deserve chance to win.[ post link in forums with warning to entrants that you will reroll if the game wasn't wishlisted before they saw your giveaway.

Dont special rules, even for private giveaways, need mod approval first?

Yes. What he could do is a whitelist giveaway, then create a thread where people who had the game on their wishlist before the GA was created can ask to be whitelisted.

If you have a game that you want to giveaway to people who have it in wishlist only, I can't think of an easy way to do that. New custom rules are not approved any more since SG V2.
If you want to giveaway a wishlist game to a select group of people, you can add them to your whitelist and use my script. It will tell you which games are the most wishlisted by these people.

Is this official? And if so, what about old approved rules, can you still use those?

It's what I've been told by support a few months ago. It was an answer to a special rule validation ticket.
For old rules I cannot tell, but since SG didn't announced anything about that, I guess they are still valid.
Draws a pentacle and sacrifices a goat SG Support, I summon you for an official answer !

Current policy is that re-rolls are not granted for special rules. You may use your whitelist or Steam group (with its own rules) to limit entry to your giveaways.

Alright, thanks. Not the answer I wanted, but I guess it's better to hear it now than when I ask for a re-roll ;)

If you're not using your whitelist, and have a game you want to give away in mind, make a topic about it, and whitelist the people that have it on their wishlist and just whitelist them until the end of the giveaway?

Yes that's what I would do, but I would specify that the people must have the game on their wishlist prior to the creation date of the giveaway.

Yeah, that'd make it fair.

you can make a steam group and add people who have it on the wishlist before a set date, then creat a group givaway

yes, but you create a group,invite, people to have to join, group needs to be recognized by SG, people sync...and so on....
would be much easier, if we just could create virual groups/list we add people as additon to the one whitelist.

Too hard for me and i haven't enough time. There on site system with "wishlist" now. So, if developers add "for wishers" in giveaway's menu, it will be more easy, then you write. But thanks for idea.
