Am I very unlucky or is it normal? How much giveaways have you entered before your first won gift?

That's pretty normal. There are a lot of people who are trying to win something, so the chances are low, especially at level 0 GAs. But, keep trying! :) I don't really know how many attempts I have needed to win my first GA, but it were very much.

Very much depends on what you enter...if there are thousands of entries your chances are slim ofc...
but as you already gave away some games etc. and are here for quite some time now...try this group

Agree with this. For the first couple of weeks I joined I just enetered givaways. It's only when I joined Unlucky 7 that I started winning games. Searching the discussions for trains etc is worth doing as well as there are a lot less people entering. Won 3 games so far from a big puzzle event, so worth looking for things like that. It's worth the time and patience to solve them.

And more importantly you're giving back well in excess of your winnings. Cheers and welcome to my whitelist.

I think it took me 7 months or so to win my first giveaway, so... ^^

I think about 2000 entries 1 Game. But it depends for which Game you spent your points. If you only join Level 0 giveaways with over 1000 entries, well then you need much more entries.

Only 1,244 entries over 2 years? Sounds about right. You need to try and enter more GA's to increase the chances of winning.

Edit- And as suggested, join a group or two. It can help. As can Whitelist and region GA's.

Entered 1,2k right now and I mainly won four of my six keys of "Massgiveaways" (100; 500; 20k; 25k Copies).
Only Take Thy Throne (with 226 entries) and Chaos on Deponia (today, 4 Copies - 760 entries) were "normal" ones.
Just keep going, I'm into "leveling" up so the chances for single keys get better I hope.

I've been on steamgifts for 2 years as well and I've won 696 games, so I win almost one game every day, but I also joined 60 times more giveaways than you ;p

RNG is a cruel mistress ... but because it's in so many games now (especially mobile), kind of have become used to these (terrible) odds.
Try puzzles and other thread giveaways for more limited entries - but it's still luck based in the end.

My first win was about a month after I registered. It was a level 0 giveaway with 401 entries. I have whitelisted you so you may get a higher chance to win one of my whitelist giveaways. Will do a few giveaways for my lovely blue hearts in a couple of hours.
