Posting this on top so that it can maybe help others (info compiled from the OP + this thread's comments):
Start any of these games and the Stardock game launcher opens
Look for a Free Game button which will open a page on the Stardock website https://prnt.sc/qwct6j
Login with Steam, add your email, verify it
Get your Steam key for the game
Go to https://www.stardock.com/ and login with your Steam account. Enter your email, validate it.
Go to https://www.stardock.com/games/promotions?providerappid=<appid>&promoid=freedmd&providertypeid=2&providerid=<steamid>
Rplace <steamid> with your steamID64 (you can use https://steamidfinder.com/ for example)
Replace <appid> with one of the app ids from the list (you don't need to own the game):
Get your Steam key for the game, validate your email again

Not work
"Thar be a problem
If you are a first time customer of Stardock Games (through Steam), we request that you first fully open a Stardock Game through Steam. You may have come here directly from our game launcher, but it will help us greatly if you can first enter the game. This will help us validate your credentials with Steam so that we may get you your free copy of Dead Man's Draw.
Once you opened the game, please return to this page and refresh it and you should be able to continue."

Log into stardock site in top right corner via steam first, like you would do with sgtools and steamgifts. Then it should all work.

Already did that, still not working.
Now the free game just disappeared from launcher as well. :)
OK so it wants the game to be running while it's done, not just launched before. Which is bit silly because the launcher vanishes when game starts.

Didn't get it at first.
AppID to be replaced with what game you owned
SteamID to be replaced is your SteamID64 (that's what used in mine)

Dead Man's Draw
You need to own one of the following games:
Now to get the game:
https://www.stardock.com/games/promotions?providerappid=<appid>&promoid=freedmd&providertypeid=2&providerid=<steamid>
. Replace <steamid> with your steamID64 and <appid> with one of the app ids that you own.The Stardock server is under heavy load. You need to wait a few hours for your validation mails. Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion was available for free in December 2018 so most should own this one. It might be that you need some playtime in the game. Either start the game or use an idler to get that.
You can also get Offworld Trading Company but this is only free multiplayer not full game. So don't make giveaways for the full game. Discussion
[edit] updated with the tips provided in the thread
[edit2] added info about Offworld and server load
[edit3] seems some users have exploited the system and there are no more keys for the rest
