Yes it's that infamous one from Humble Bundle, which i expect everyone has. But on the off chance that someone didn't, i decided to have a giveaway for it, since i'll prob never buy the game.

Here's the problem, the two winners (i sent a support ticket for a new winner after checking that the first winner already had it) both already have this DLC, so my questions are:

1) What can i do to restrict those that already have the DLC from it? (This is really for future giveaways)
2) How many support tickets do i gotta send till i find a winner that doesn't have it?
3) How pissed off will the Moderators be if i keep requesting for a new winner (if future winners that appear already have it)?

Trying not to step on anyone's toes here, but if i keep turning up winners whom already own the DLC, i think just adding it to the orphan keys section would be the best thing to do...

1) Setting a higher contributor level will lower the chance of people entering a giveaway for a DLC they already own
2) What do you mean ? Just send one, don't spam the support
3) I don't know

edit : I understood wrongly, I thought you gave away two copies and both winners had it. Disregard 2)

How do you even check if someone has a DLC?

I go to winners -> Steam profile -> check their games. There's a search bar to enter whatever game i'm looking for. For this case i just add the word Batman and see if the DLC pops up

DLCs don't usually show up there though.

I thought that but I just tried it. There is a search bar there now and it does display DLC that matches search terms. I haven't seen it before, I think it must be fairly new.

The only thing you can do is to check if the winner already has the DLC.

People who enter and already have the DLC are the ones to blame, not you. Request another winner again

1) Setting a higher contributor level might lower your chances of having someone who already owns the dlc enter.
2) It really depends, when you request a reroll, it's just as random as the first time the giveaway ended.
3) They won't be pissed since they are fair people and they too are against those who enter for stuff they already have.

Reroll until you get someone who doesn't own it already, there is no other solution as this problem is on Steam's side and that's what causing Steamgifts to incorrectly detect that said person doesn't own the dlc already. Good luck.

All right, thanks for the help everyone. Managed to get a winner without the DLC on the 3rd try. I'm relatively new to this so i didn't want to screw up anything

Don't worry about having to request new winners. We understand how it is. )
