Contact the creator and let him know, and if he doesn't get you a steam key mark it not received in a week.

Tell the gifter that the key isn't Steam. If he can't or won't give you a Steam redeemable key/gift, then you mark it as Not Received after a week.

Next to the forum botton all the way above is an support button. Leave a ticket there, they will help you.

Depends what game it is, I think there are a couple of Origin titles that are allowed to be gifted...

What matters is you got the game. If you're really bothered with it, contact support.

If it is Rift, it is more than likely one of the keys Raptr gave out. Those aren't for the Steam version of the game, they are for downloading it at the Rift website directly.

1 - Use the key through origin and mark it as received.
2 - Don't use the key and mark it as not received.

The choice is completely up to you. If you're worried about having it marked as received but not showing in your steam library, just take a screenshot showing you added it through origin and if the question ever comes up, just show them you used the game.

Try it in Origin or mark it as not received but to be honest I would never give away an Origin game here but I think I would mark it as received if it worked on Origin, sure he broke a rule but he still gave the game, I can't really hate someone that much for that...Idk.
