Out of curiosity what do your stat say about your luck? You can check it here
Mostly interested in end of description of Luck per Month. It should say something like "Overall, you've been unlucky, and won 13 fewer gifts than estimated since you first joined."

create acc for your sister/brother, create private giveaway and share the link with nobody -> you will be the only one who enters the giveaway so you will win it! and the best: you can create giveaways for every game you want and as much as you want! so in one week you can get everything on steam and even every other game as well
having more than one account is forbidden, so please dont do this^^

You have been a SG user for well over a year... with one giveaway that is worth 0 CV, plus you're showing less than 3,000 giveaway entries. Most people have entered more than that and never won once. I suggest that you enter more giveaways and be less picky about the games you're trying to win, and try contributing more than you have to raise your CV level if you want to increase your chances. I would also make your Steam profile public and sync it to SG to avoid winning games you already have.
EDIT: You may also want to consider joining the Unlucky 7 Steam group. Be sure to read the group's criteria to see if you would qualify as a member.
BTW, complaining about not winning anything will more than likely get you blacklisted around here. Just saying.

You will see results (i.e. more wins) by being smart, investing time and/or money into SG.
Being smart:
Join groups. Search the Group Recruitment thread. Some groups are continuously recruiting (Unlucky-7, Playing Appreciated), some are open and can be joined by anyone, some have more stringent criteria (e.g. minimum level, not be a leach, do regular group giveaways).
Do puzzles. Follow the Puzzle thread. Some puzzles are more complicated than others (requiring a time investment), some are simply completing a jigsaw puzzle, some are 'hidden' in plain sight and quite easy to find once you know what you are looking for.
Read giveaway descriptions. Some users like to hide private 'invite only' giveaway links in descriptions, some advertise their own groups (see above).
Read the discussions. Many users when posting, especially questions, also include a private 'invite only' giveaway link.
Investing time:
Investing money:
Level up. At the very least try to get to Level 1 by successfully giving away a game that has not been given away for free in the past (this is why your single giveway has not raised your level). This is not expensive - there are sites where you can buy keys to giveaway for pennies.
Join more groups. Many groups have either a minimum level requirement (typically level 3 or above), or a won/sent ratio requirement, and require you to maintain a won/sent ratio within the group, or make regular (e.g. monthly) giveaways. If you do this, you will be exposed to giveaways that have fewer than 50 entries, massively increasing you chances.
SG is like a pyramid scheme - the more money (games) you invest, the more you can take out (win).
If it isn't painfully obvious by now, remaining Level 0 really works against you. Look at the site stats - 900k users at level 0, 108k at level 1 and 17k at level 2.
Your top priority is getting to Level 1, and joining the Unlucky 7 group. I went 15 months without a win (I wasn't very active after joining), and within 3 months of joining Unlucky-7 I had my 7 wins.

Many ppl keep saying you have higher chances of winning with higher level. That is not exactly right
Every person that enters giveaway have exact same chance of winning
What changes with level, is that you have access to giveaways that have less entries

With almost all the good games being reduced value, reaching even level 5 will take like 700-800 dollars. At this point it's easier to just go and buy all your games by yourself, and pretend you've won them.
IMO that system should be reworked, if ga creator can provide proof he bought the game full-price it should give full value. At current state it discourages from sharing great games only because they were in some bundle nobody cared about 5 years ago.

Don't you think that SG is for giving game in charity style, not for Profit?

Well, as oldwoman Shapoklyak from soviet cartoon said, you have to put something somewhere to get something from somewhere. Or, if you prefer anime,same philosophy was described in Full Metal Alchemist - to get something you have to give something with same value.

The first option is the cheapest, but the other two give much better results. Do whichever sounds most fun to you.

Worked for me. I achieved level 10 by using option #3.

your level 0. my first day on this site i posted a giveaway. and every giveaway i have done since then has been lvl 1+ as i dont want to feed the Leach's, you can spend $1 on a bundle and get to lvl 1 and increase your chances of winning greatly and contribute to the sg community at the same time.

Is your Steam account limited (especially hard for us to tell with you setting it to private)? If not, then all you need to do to up your chances significantly is to sell a few cards, get enough to give away some game on sale, and BAM, you're automatically level 1 on here and you can access GAs with, comparatively, extremely better chances.

Do not expect much... for example i won in 6 years just 25 games but here are others who won in 3 years 254 games...
any talking how or why is pointless. Try join some groups but i cant give u advice which ones... personally i pretty dont like groups where u MUST give this and that to this date in this and that price range etc etc...
make some contributor level at least 3-4 it might help little bit.. but soon u realise that it not worth to keep entering, i clicking here some GA's for 6 months for nothing :D
better chances are on high/er contributor levels 6 7 8 and some groups, free 4 all or lvl 1 2 3 GA's are 000000000000000000000,1% chance

Joining groups and getting on whitelists are the best way to win things. So be a positive part of the community and give away games so that you can be put on those lists and have a much better chance at winning.
Other than that, it's just luck. Suspensions will only restrict you if you try to enter certain sgtools or if someone blacklists you.
good luck!
Edt: I just noticed you qualify for the Unlucky 7 group. You should join and you'll have a fighting chance!

Last win was a year ago. I don't even win 50-100-1000 copies giveaways these days.
I had 2 suspensions if it matters.
